Around SBN: Ryder Hesjedal Wins Giro d'Italia

Because we all know the feud will consist of Roberts being angry and saying angry things, and Romo striking him out, giving a bemused smile, and then tweeting about how much he loves his team.

yes

It’s great with regular cheese too of course, all the toppings are pretty good.

Little Star is fantastic but those Chicago-styles are real gut bombs. Patxi’s makes soy cheese deep-dish but IMO the soy cheese is too bland when in great piles like that. On a thin-crust pizza it’s less noticeable.

Not at all, just a way to enjoy pizza with less fat/calories. Few places have it, and some of them have an utterly horrible version that’s vegan but turns to awful plastic sludge when melted. Patxi’s has both that and the good non-vegan one that they use at Goat Hill.

I think Extreme Pizza is the only regular-type pizzeria that has soy, but I’ve never tried theirs.

Fresh, I know jp’s a fan of the goat cheese one. We usually get just plain cheese or pepperoni. They also sell pre made dough so you can make your own. I tend to put too much cheese on pizza when I make my own, so we don’t do that.

I bought some frozen WF dough a while back, but haven’t gotten around to trying it. I figured that would be better than the typical frozen pizza if desperation (usually getting back to town late after a trip) arises sometime.

There was just an article about that either in sfgate or the merky that people can’t get mortgages for those. Condo complexes with either a large %age of the units being rentals or with a large %age of units being in foreclosure/default/vacant … banks won’t give you a mortgage.

yup

That’s an old 70s problem coming back to haunt people, banks have underwriting guidelines limiting loans to buildings with a high percentage of rentals. And when more owners have financial difficulties, they can’t sell their unit and have to rent it, making the % worse…lather, rinse, repeat.
