    dinner portions (at least around here) are huuuuuuge. And, as I try to
    be environmentally friendly, carrying home styrofoam containers is not something od which I care to be guilty.

    Styrofoam? Why are they not using waxed paperboard containers?

    You could also invite a friend and split a dish.

    I also found a place called JB's Little Bali

    I Googled them. They went belly up 37 years ago.

    A different kind of chili:

    ... It must take a lot of vigilance to keep a goat on an organic diet.

    Cost. Styrofoam containers are much cheaper than waxed paperboard
    containers.

    Fun fact: Taco Bell ended its "Mexican Pizza" item because of the packaging. They still carry all of the items to make a Mexican Pizza but stopped
    because of the packaging they used. I go to my local Taco Bell and order a Mexican Pizza and they use a tostada tray to put it on. Silly stuff.

    Title: Uno's Deep Pan Pizza
    Categories: Italian, Pizza, Sausages
    Yield: 4 Servings

    MMMMM---------------------------CRUST--------------------------------
    1 c Warm tap water (110-115”)
    1 ts Active dry yeast
    3 1/2 c Flour
    1/2 c Coarse ground cornmeal
    1 ts Salt
    1/4 c Vegetable oil

    MMMMM--------------------------FILLING-------------------------------
    1 lb Mozzarella, sliced
    1 lb Sausage, removed from the
    Casing and crumbled
    1 cn Whole tomatos, drained and
    Coarsely crushed
    2 c Cloves, peeled and minced
    3 ts Dried oregano,OR
    5 Fresh basil leaves,
    Shredded
    4 tb Freshly grated Parmesan
    Cheese

    Pour the warm water into a large mixing bowl and dissolve the yeast
    with a fork. Add 1 cup of flour, all of the cornmeal, salt, and, and
    vegetable oil. Mix well with a spoon. Continue stirring in the rest
    of the flour 1/2 cup at a time, until the dough comes away from the
    sides of the bowl. Flour your hands and the work surface and kneed
    the ball of dough until it is no longer sticky.

    Let the dough rise in an oiled bowl, sealed with plastic wrap, for 45
    to 60 minutes in a warm place, until it is doubled in bulk. Punch it
    down and kneed it briefly. Press it into an oiled 15-inch deep dish
    pizza pan, until it comes 2 inches up the sides and is even on the
    bottom of the pan. Let the dough rise 15-20 minutes before filling.

    Preheat the oven to 500 degrees.

    While the dough is rising, prepare the filling. Cook the crumbled
    sausage until it is no longer pink, drain it of it's excess fat.
    Drain and chop the tomatos.

    When the dough has finished its second rising, lay the cheese over the
    dough shell. Then distribute the sausage and garlic over the cheese.
    Top with the tomatos. Sprinkle on the seasonings and Parmesan cheese.

    Bake for 15 minutes at 500 degrees. Then lower the temperature to 400
    degrees and bake for 25 to 35 minutes longer. Lift up a section of the
    crust from time to time with a spatula to check on its color. The
    crust will be golden brown when done. Serve immediately.

    MMMMM

    Styrofoam? Why are they not using waxed paperboard containers?

    Co$t. Pure and simple. Styrofaom is cheaper - and so are they. There is
    only one restaurant I've been to that I know uses non-styrofoam take
    away cotainers - Brunchfield Cafe (https://brunchfield.com) uses a sort
    of waxed paper mache box tat looks a bit like styrofoam - but isn't.
    It's another of my stops where the portions are huuuuuuge.

    You could also invite a friend and split a dish.

    My tastes are often not those of my companions.

    I also found a place called JB's Little Bali

    I Googled them. They went belly up 37 years ago.

    That's a shame - but not unexpected. They were in downtown Inglewood on
    La Brea (the main drag) and the whole city is now known - locally, at
    least - as "Inglehood"

    A different kind of chili:

    MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

    Title: Chelle's Goat Chili
    Categories: Native, american, Goat, Groundmeat, Chili
    Yield: 6 Servings

    2 lb Goat meat
    1 Sweet onion
    1 Green pepper
    6 Tomatoes
    1 Tb Ground cumin
    1/4 c Chili powder
    12 oz Beer

    It's legit, though. The ICS defines traditional red and green chilli as
    "any kind of meat or combination of meats, cooked with red chile peppers, various spices and other ingredients, with the exception of beans and
    pasta which are strictly forbidden. No garnish is allowed."

    Title: Wesley & Kathy's World-Famous Killer 4-Star Venison Chilli
    Categories: Game, Chilli, Stews, Beer, Chilies
    Yield: 6 Servings

    3 lb Fine chopped venison *
    1 md Onion
    4 cl Garlic
    Salt
    1/4 c (or more) Chilli spice
    2 tb Olive oil
    1 tb Cumin
    12 oz Beer; NOT light beer
    1/2 c Water or beef broth
    1 tb Mexican oregano
    2 tb Masa or corn meal **
    1 ts Ground coriander

    * Venison should be cut from the neck or shoulder.

    ** Dissolve masa in about 1/4 c water (UDD notes that
    you can omit this and substitute arrowroot or corn
    starch).

    Saute the meat in the oil until about 1/2 browned. Add
    onions and garlic and saute until onions are tender, but
    not brown. Add chilli spice, coriander, and cumin, and
    cook, stirring, for 4 - 5 minutes. Do not allow to burn.
    Add beer and water/broth and simmer, stirring frequently
    until meat is tender. (About 45 minutes - 1 hour) When
    meat is tender, stir in masa, dissolved in water or
    broth. Simmer, stirring frequently an additional 30
    minutes or so. If possible, allow chili to cool and sit
    for at least 6 hours before re-heating and serving.
