Take one crow and three large rocks.
Remove feathers from crow.
Boil the crow with the rocks for 3 days.
When done, remove scum and drain all liquid.
Eat the rocks.

Split Pea Soup

Variations;

instead of green I prefer yellow split peas 2 cups (just looks way more appetizing)

instead of marjoram, substitute 1/2 tsp ea. of thyme, and savory

Don't have a ham bone, substitute a tsp of hickory liquid smoke. (or a little more to taste, but be careful)

Without the meat, this is extremely cheap to make, like 1 dollar for 6-8 portions.
Not only economical, but delicious too.

Pizza Sauce

1 cup of regular canned tomato sauce (brand name or no-name, whatever is on sale, or cheapest)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp oregano
1 to 2 tsp sugar
1/4 to 1/2 tsp black pepper

I find most pizzas you buy are a tad on the dry side, adding the whole cup of sauce to a 16 inch pizza is just right (IMO).

And is the crust made from home made dough or is there a favourite that you use???...DAMIEN

And is the crust made from home made dough or is there a favourite that you use???...DAMIEN

Yes Damien, that is home made "crust".
Pizza dough, (pretty simple, and delicious too)

2 to 2 and 1/4 cup flour (start with the 2, add more as/if needed)
1 heaped teaspoon yeast (and not a measuring spoon, just a regular coffee stirring spoon)
1 heaped teaspoon sugar (same as above)
1/2 tsp (or more) salt

stir that up, then add,

2 Tbs oil
1 cup warm water (100 F)

Stir, kneed, form a ball, place in an oiled bowl for 30 minutes. Then go. (as dough raises, chop vegies onions, and peppers for sure.)

EDIT, to add, just in case your interested in the rest of the rickNS way, I'll add it here.

I also don't prefer mozzarella cheese, too stringy, messy, instead I prefer double, or triple shredded cheddar for the cheese.
Hamburger if you use it, is pre-cooked (obviously) and seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and thyme.
Under that is of course, pepperoni, usually mild, sometimes honey-garlic.
And lastly whether or not they belong on a pizza, I love, and sometimes use pineapple tidbits.

Try that, and tell me you don't like it. I have a few votes saying "best pizza I ever had"

Sounds pretty much like a crustless quiche. I'll give it a try. Especially since 'Real Men Don't Eat Quiche' and I like quiche, anyway.

My sister makes mini quiches, too much work for me. I've been eating lots of pickled eggs as well.
