Quick and easy Buffalo Chicken Pizza
I’ll post my favorite quick and easy recipes as I think of them.
I’ve had enough with long winded, 3 dozen ingredient jpbs-I never make them right. Either I’m too lazy or not a very talented cook (probably co-dependent factors there), but I’ve wasted too much time and money on busted meals.
This one is easy as pie and it passes the kid test:
- 1 Pizza pie crust, dough ball, whatever you like form the grocery store
- 1lb Boneless Chicken Breast, cut up as you like and sauteed till done in a little olive oil/butter concoction
- Frank’s Red Hot
- Blue Cheese Dressing (I like Ken’s: http://www.kensfoods.com/kf/products/productView.servlet?consumerProductId=27)
Throw the ingredients on the pie crust to taste (maybe cut the franks with tomato paste or something for something milder), and bake at preheated 425ºf oven for 15-20 minutes.

Why I don’t put a link to my website in my clients’ footers
Because it looks bad. When someone builds your house, they don’t put “built by houses-r-us™”. When someone replaces your roof, maybe they’ll stick a sign in your lawn saying “Roof by roofs-r-us™”, but you’re gonna yank that thing out pretty quickly.
If people want to know who built my site, they’ll contact the site owner.

Stickball
We used to play this all the time growing up. I don’t see kids playing it anymore.
Other sports are easy to get pickup going. You can play one-on-one hoops. 2-hand-touch only really needs 4 players. Same with street hockey.
Baseball is so fun to play, but you never have enough kids, or equipment, or a field. That’s why stickball was invented. Heck, all you need is two kids, really. Offense and defense. One kid hits. One kid pitches and fields. Pitching, fielding, hitting; that’s baseball in a nutshell.
You don’t even need a field. You need a building, one with a nice flat wall (don’t they all have those?), with a parking lot or grassy area in front (again, don’t they all have those?)
I’ve been on a stickball obsession lately. I decided to act on it a bit today, and did a little shopping. Dick’s: various balls (they didn’t have handballs, which is what I really wanted. When I was a kid, the handball truck came around every day after school), hockey tape, orange cones. Michael’s: decent sidewalk chalk (gotta make sure it washes off). Home Depot: three different options for the bat; a dowel, a railing, and a broomstick.
Lastly, I registered stickballgame.com. Stay tuned on that one.
