Travis posted today about a ridiculously thorough guide to knife sharpening, that goes into way too much detail for me but does provide a few good tips, particularly a technique for using a steel upside down.
In that vein and since it's a Friday, how about Billy Reisinger's ridiculously thorough guide to making your own pizza. It's subtitled 'a guide for the pizza amateur,' but really, who out there, apart from those kids raised in religion-based towns or hudderite communes, is a pizza amateur? I mean, c'mon, pizza is the common food currency of coming of age, of loosely organized get togethers and of work lunches. It's the microsoft of sustenance - poorly appreciated yet ubiquitous.
