I was the night manager for a pizza parlor in Boulder Colorado when I was in college. Cold pizza from unclaimed phone in orders was breakfast on many a night after work. Everyone seemed to gravitate to my apartment and hang out. We saw a lot of dawns.
I tried not to have any classes before at least noon.

It’s a fantastic town. Was there not too long ago and gratified to see that the Dark Horse was still open.
RVP (Roman Village Pizza) was just around the corner. When they first opened the DH draft beers were 39 cents & well drinks were 79! Everybody that came to the door was carded. Spent many an hour there on the dance floor in the early 70s.
If you want to warm it up, and be really close to how it was when it was freshly made, try this:
“To reheat pizza in a frying pan, heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add the pizza slice, cook for a couple of minutes until the crust starts to crisp, then add a few drops of water to the pan, cover with a lid, and cook until the cheese melts and the pizza is heated through; the steam from the water helps melt the cheese evenly while crisping the bottom crust.
Key points:
Use a non-stick pan: This helps prevent the pizza from sticking to the pan.
Medium heat: Too high a heat can burn the crust before the cheese melts.
Add a little water: A few drops of water added to the pan create steam, which helps melt the cheese evenly.
Cover with a lid: Covering the pan traps the steam and heats the pizza efficiently.” https://www.today.com/food/we-tested-4-methods-reheating-pizza-best-t244205
@2many2no@PhysAssist I tried that method of reheating pizza, but settled on a slightly different method that works better for me:
Start pan (with lid) warming on the stove while nuc-ing the (cold) pizza in the microwave for 30-45 seconds, to warm the refrigerator chill and start the cheese melting. Then transfer the warmed slice(s) to the hot pan and cover. It only takes about 3-4 minutes in the hot, covered pan to crisp the crust and finish melting the cheese.
@2many2no@PhysAssist @macromeh That’s how I do it, except I’ve started using my flat air fryer to warm it and then the skillet; I only finish it that way because it does get the bottom crust crisper than the air fryer. The microwave can make the dough too chewy.
@2many2no@Kyeh@macromeh
Totes agree- we just lightly wet baked goods and use the convection oven for a crispy exterior and soft interior.
In ours, it’s 4 minutes at 400 F…
YMMV.
That breakfast in the banner image looks pretty good - bagels with cream cheese and some other toppings, and a big fruit bowl!
Tomorrow I’m going to have the banana bread with pecans and butterscotch chips that I just took out of the oven about an hour ago.
@Kyeh
Looks (and sounds) yummy.
Due to our recent travels we still have an entire “Kringle” that my sister sent at Christmas. I may have to break that out today.
@Kyeh I eat a bagel for breakfast (+ coffee and fresh fruit) most mornings. My favorite: toasted “everything” bagel, topped with thin shavings of sharp cheddar, sliced ripe tomato and avocado.
@chienfou OHH - I LOVE Kringles, especially the almond ones! @macromeh Yum. I should do that but I’m usually too lazy in the morning to put together such a good breakfast.
@chienfou@macromeh I’m envious. Trader Joe’s has pecan ones right now, but they’re not as good as the almond. The only other flavor I’ve had is raspberry, and that’s okay but it has too many seeds.
@Kyeh@macromeh
I just ran across 5 vacuum sealed packs of raspberries buried deep in our freezer. Publix sold 12oz packages for $1 each… Back in Oct 2020! We bought around 40 packs at that time. Made a bunch of jams, raspberry liquour, sorbets, ate the shit out of them fresh and (evidently) froze a bunch. (Side note: thanks meh for the food saver I bought here) They were in 12oz container packages. Made a batch of low sugar jam out of 3 packages so canned over 5 cups of jam.
@chienfou@miko1@pmarin Ever pop the top on a (partially) frozen beer that was left outside? Be sure to point it in a safe direction as it resembles a fountain. (I learned this the hard way as a teen. )
@macromeh@miko1@pmarin
Even cooler is when you open one in a bottle and once the pressure changes it starts to freeze (crystalize) before your eyes.
You can do this with freezer pops as well. At just the right temp they will freeze if you thump them, turning from clear liquid to opaque slush as you watch.
Iced coffee
Pizza
@2many2no, I just finished eating cold pizza for breakfast.
@2many2no @kittykat9180 You have breakfast at midnight?
@2many2no @Kyeh, no, I had breakfast around 6am.
@2many2no @kittykat9180 Oh, you’re out of the country?
@2many2no @Kyeh I’m in Poland
@2many2no @kittykat9180 Wow!

@2many2no @chienfou @kittykat9180 @Kyeh I love Boulder. Every time I was there for work I would spend 7-8 hours just walking on Pearl street.

@2many2no @Kyeh @PhysAssist
Yes - nice for stale rolls and other baked goods, but for pizza, not so much.

Iced coffee and maybe a sunny side up egg
Lox +… whatever. As long as it includes lox.
@shahnm I don’t like Lox and eggs. I just didn’t think they work together. However, Lox+ cream cheese, bagel, onion and capers is a great thing.
@Fuzzalini Some hard boiled egg on that beautiful bagel kicks it into the realm of the sublime. You’re missing out!
I’ll bet you only lightly chill your batteries, instead of properly refrigerating them…
@shahnm
. My batteries are chilling.
I’m not a huge fan of hard boiled eggs so probably not my thing. I love eggs in all other forms though.
I once ordered lox with scrambled eggs thinking it would be great and it was just awful.

I hate that Costco only sells chocolate
Who voted for unthawed frozen waffles??
@PooltoyWolf some sad, sad person.
@PooltoyWolf I would vote for unthawed chocolate chip pancakes
@heartny @PooltoyWolf
Preferably two… with Nutella between them!
@chienfou @heartny @PooltoyWolf a stack of unthawed pancakes… That’s like trying to eat a sewer lid.
@chienfou @heartny @pakopako @PooltoyWolf Cold Eggo waffles are actually really good.
@chienfou @heartny @PooltoyWolf @Wollyhop refrigerated yes. How do you bite through frozen?

Yep… Almond it is!
@Kyeh @macromeh

Even better toasted. So not technically cold…
@chienfou @macromeh I’m envious. Trader Joe’s has pecan ones right now, but they’re not as good as the almond. The only other flavor I’ve had is raspberry, and that’s okay but it has too many seeds.

“Unthawed Frozen Waffles”
So many things wrong here
Beer
@miko1 Beer stored outside on the porch so it’s at that perfect 20-35° temp depending on where you live.
@miko1 @pmarin
Would have probably frozen here overnight at 17⁰f
@chienfou @miko1 @pmarin Ever pop the top on a (partially) frozen beer that was left outside? Be sure to point it in a safe direction as it resembles a fountain. (I learned this the hard way as a teen.
