I had to call in my husband to read this because once, a few years ago, he failed to check for that cardboard disk before baking. Checking for the cardboard disk is a very important step. No matter what, he'll never live that one down.
Oddly enough, I saw a show recently where Ainsley-the-chef-whose-last-name-I-always-forget was in Chicago and he cooked a pizza on a grill. It's amazing what these Brits think we get up to in the US!
Well, Bryan as you know I'm a big fan of local produce and producers. I'd have to go with a Thursday Chateau Carbondale, or possibly a good non-vintage Cote du Waukegan.
Chiming in with a hearty thanks for the funniest post I've read in quite some time. I'll admit that I too always forget how long to cook the damn things, and have to re-read the label....
Ah! Excellent post! One thing that might be noted though, I like to wait a little longer before fishing into the trash for the label. It's really ideal if someone has thrown the dustpan contents from sweeping the kitchen and the congealed bacon fat from the fridge in overtop.
instructions on package "Instructions on back" this was on rim of the cover. looked every where on pkg. no instrucrtions that why I had to come to this site...

Which wine goes well with a meal like this? I'm going with a nice 2004 box. What do others think?

I got lost at: "Discard of the peel safely."
The safely part threw me off.
