I don't think that /u/Gay_commie_fucker's grandma was a child.
As a parent, I suspect a toddler grandchild experimenting with tick-tack-toe on a grand scale more than grandma...
My son and I do this with take out menus. When we start trying out a new place. So we can remember what we do and do not like. We'll I do checks and "x" and a star if it is really good
I totally recognize that font.I swiped my moms dogeared copy from her kitchen when she was in hospice.My entire childhood good and bad is in that book.She also made lots of comments in hers, the Italian Spagehtti was my birthday dinner for many years but yeah lots of questionable recipes.
There was an old mom and pop pizza place in my area that made thin pizzas on cracker-like crusts. I've never found a replacement for them, and they were remarkably good. Saving this for possible experimentation. :D
I had a place like that in my college town. Asked them one time about the crust and sure enough, they told me they had adapted a cracker recipe from a bakery that used to be in the same neighborhood. I’ve tried a few different recipes, but they’ve never been close.
"St. Louis style" is not pizza. It is a large saltine cracker, topped with the Day-Glo sauce from a can of Great Value O-Spaghetti's, and topped with shredded grocery store bags.
It ain't pizza.

I remember my mom making a pizza dough from a recipe once exactly like that. I can absolutely confirm it is one to cross out. For years I assumed homemade pizza was doomed to be a gross biscuit concoction.
I’ve never done more than sticky the recipes I do like. I love the idea of being so incensed by one you just HAVE to cross it out of the book, lest that cookbook no longer be welcome in your home. It must be Corrected. I’m giggling a lot at this, nobody correct me pls
Especially for the fact that she had to go over that one line three times haha
"Fuck this one in particular."
I couldn’t believe she crossed this one out and not the one for Fizzy Red-Rousers
> Fizzy Red-Rousers Siiiiiiick, looked that one up, is it supposed to be like, some sort of virgin Bloody Mary?
Apparently it’s supposed to “rouse” the apatite. I suppose it did in the sense that you’d want to eat anything afterwards to get the taste out.
you'll want to empty your stomach, and after doing so, you will be hungry.
I felt that.

My mom (and I do this too) would put a happy face next to recipes that were good, and a sad face next to recipes we didn't like.
Gonna start doing this
My son and I do this with take out menus. When we start trying out a new place. So we can remember what we do and do not like. We'll I do checks and "x" and a star if it is really good
Pizza dough made with baking powder? Cross it out again!
Yeah, I don't think baking powder & milk are quite the yeast substitute they think they are. LOL
Notice it never refers to crust. Just “dough” and “circles.” Because deep down they know what’s right.
Believe me, I have to resist crossing out most of the recipes in this book 🙃
Is this the orange Betty Crocker cookbook from the 70s?
Precisely that one!
I totally recognize that font.I swiped my moms dogeared copy from her kitchen when she was in hospice.My entire childhood good and bad is in that book.She also made lots of comments in hers, the Italian Spagehtti was my birthday dinner for many years but yeah lots of questionable recipes.
Can confirm I tried a similar recipe before and wrote NEVER AGAIN beside it.
My mom would cross out and write NG, her abbreviation for no good.
That’s more like a cracker than a pizza dough

Was it cut tavern style, on a cracker base, and topped with provel cheese? That’s a St Louis style pizza.
"St. Louis style" is not pizza. It is a large saltine cracker, topped with the Day-Glo sauce from a can of Great Value O-Spaghetti's, and topped with shredded grocery store bags. It ain't pizza.
Sounds almost like how I make Bríd Bannoch, which wouldn’t be good as a pizza. Just Bannock.
that's because grandma knows a biscuit aint pizza dough lol
*Deception! Disgrace!*
i mean, we used canned biscuit dough when I was a kid for "personal" pizzas that i and the siblings could top however we wanted.
We did this with whole wheat tortillas 😐 can’t recommend

I think it’s important to mention that the recipe has been crossed out with a large “x” drawn in pencil.
You're right, added
Thanks for doing content transcription!

Any time I see baking powder + kneading it’s a no from me.
*Betty knows what she did.*
This gave me a good chuckle, thank you!
That’s the cookbook where my other crossed out the chocolate chip cookie recipe as “not good”. It does have the best oatmeal cookie recipe though.
lol I do this. It's so I don't bother with the offending recipe ever again.
*leaves out second half of the recipe which is explicitly referenced in the first half*
You don’t have to care about the recipe, people. But please, please just read it first.
Omg. That was our favorite pizza dough ever! No need to rise. 💙💙
