Screamin Sicilian Supreme Pizza : Supremus Maximus

Screamin Sicilian Supreme Pizza : Supremus Maximus

“Our Supremus Maximus Supreme Pizza rules over all other pizzas”, it is declared on the back of the box. That is, of course, a ridiculous claim. I’ve certainly had better. It is good, however, and the toppings, headlined by “sweet” Italian sausage and “premium” pepperoni, look/taste fresher than most you’ll find in the frozen pie section of your local grocery store.

audio review : Before The World Blows ( album ) … Erykah Badu + The Alchemist

audio review : Before The World Blows ( album ) ... Erykah Badu + The Alchemist

Fans have been waiting for a new Erykah Badu album for over a decade. It’s a shame how long this took and it’s not even a solo project. Instead she follows the trend of sharing artistic credit with the main producer; a decision I can’t make sense of. That’s not to say The Alchemist doesn’t belong. His lo-fi psychedelic soul beats are the perfect soundscape for the singer’s melodic ramblings.

That melody is what sets Erykah Badu apart from her diva peers. She is a true talent not just when it comes to singing but making songs. This is probably her best set yet. It’s effortlessly good and sporadically great. When she stops singing and starts talking is when her personality starts to annoy. Her ultimate sin is inviting Westside Gunn to degrade the experience with retarded gun noises.

Mainstays Nonstick Pizza Pan

Mainstays Nonstick Pizza Pan

This Pan from Mainstays; a Walmart brand; works just fine for it’s purposed use. You can cook or warm Pizza in the oven all day with it. It’s when you start using it for crustless foods, like baked salmon, that the situation gets a little sticky.

Marketside French Style Cheesecake

Marketside French Style Cheesecake

You’ll be doing yourself a favor placing this Marketside mousse in the fridge an hour or two before eating it. Perhaps most Cheesecakes taste better that way, but it’s the bottom “graham cracker crumb” crust here that’s most notably improved. I would’ve put a hyphen between the French Style bit. It’s otherwise hard to find fault with this tasty treat.

audio review : a song from Nash-T Records : She Died A Nigger

This is a love song if I ever heard one. Okay, maybe “love” is too strong of a word. The beau, whom Nash-T Records carelessly refers to as The Klansman; they use that name for different singers; nonetheless develops feelings for the Nigger girl he first dated on a dare. “If I had known just how it would end,” he admits, “I’d have turned around and run away right then”.

It’s no surprise, given the title, that it ends with her death. How she dies is what’s sad. It suggests a real attraction on her part. His; he actually rides with her in the back of the bus; is conflicted with his deep-rooted racism. The best thing about the song is the melody of the verses, inspired by a relationship that, had it lasted, might’ve mended not only his heart but his mind.

Bettergoods Prosciutto And Arugula Pizza

Bettergoods Prosciutto And Arugula Pizza

This is real Italian pizza. It’s “made in Menduno,” the box reads and “The crust, spread with a mascarpone garlic sauce, is baked in a lava stone wood-fired oven.” The ingredients list is impressively natural and you can taste the quality. Would it be Better with pepperoni instead of Prosciutto? Probably. Is it good as is? Certainly.

Uno Pizzeria Chicago Deep Dish Style Pizza : Classic Sausage

Uno Pizzeria Chicago Deep Dish Style Pizza : Classic Sausage

I don’t know about Classic, but the Sausage version of the Chicago Deep Dish Style Pizza from Uno Pizzeria; “where the first deep dish pizza was created”; is damn good. The plain Cheese version is the best; the meat can serve as a minor distraction; but this might be better than Pepperoni if only because those slices can taste a little funky.

Screamin Sicilian Pepperoni And Sausage Pizza [ I’m Thin And Crispy ]

Screamin Sicilian Pepperoni And Sausage Pizza [ I'm Thin And Crispy ]

This pizza is Thin because it’s made with what seems like regular pita bread. That’s its only flaw, though being baked Crispy helps. The Pepperoni And Sausage topping is, of course, the best part, especially the Pepperoni slices of which there are more than your average frozen pie.
