Mack's pizza attempt again....9/13/2011

I guess I took Jiminy Crickets advice for the cheese when making the attempt at the Mack’s clone yesterday.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOZzNOkcEgM Jiminy always says, “Always let your conscience be your guide”.  I guess it was the blue fairy that influenced Jiminy Cricket to think that way.

Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket were sure interested in the Mack’s clone yesterday, since I was getting a big block of mild white cheddar to try.

Steve and I measured out the ingredients we used to dress the pie.  We used .728 lb. sauce, (Walmart tomato paste) with .5114 lb. added water, 1 teaspoon of sugar, ½ teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and ½ teaspoon of dried basil.  The amount of sauce we really used on the Mack’s attempt pizza was 12 ½ oz. of sauce.

Steve and I made the pizza at about 5:00 pm yesterday.  I did get the big block of mild white cheddar later in the afternoon, from my distributor.   If anyone is interested in what the white cheddar block looked like, these are some pictures on how the box looked that the mild white cheddar was received in, and how big the block of mild white cheddar was.  Steve and I both tasted the mild white cheddar before it was baked on the Mack’s attempt, and it tasted very good.

The Mack’s attempt when cut, did crack when cut, but I didn’t take a video of the pie being cut. If anyone cares to take a stab if this mild white cheddar might be the white cheddar Mack’s uses, they can guess.

Jeff and Mark (theboys) brought me some Nasturtium edible flowers yesterday.  http://www.herbalgardens.com/archives/articles-archive/nasturtiums.html 
They sure would have been interesting to try on the Mack’s pizza or another pizza, but I didn’t use them, but they are pictured in some of the photos.  I did taste some of the Nastursium edible flowers and they had a very nice different taste.  The Nasturtium had jewel tone colors and a nice peppery taste.  I would think they would be a nice topping for a pizza, salad, or great used in other food products.
