I'm sorry Karl. I wish I could. But it goes against everything I believe in. If I gave you the points for that, it would undermine the system and chaos would ensue. If you find the idea of making a Pizza an un-fulfilling one (because you've already done so recently), I would likely accept the creation of some other similar culinary delight, in your case.


Thanks final-fx, glad you are enjoying the threads!

D'aww, that's a lovely thought. I'll have a think, but I'm not a cooking fan to be honest.

I do have an idea but I shall have to do it and get back to you. :wub:

Can I use a margherita/C+T pizza base, as lets face it, it'll be the first thing I put on anyway...

I cannot allow this I'm afraid. Half the challenge of making a pizza from scratch is layering the base. I feel the experience would be sold short without that phase of the construction.

Will there be bonus points if we make the base ourselves?

I have already set the points parameters for this task I'm afraid. If you make the base yourself, then that is simply a validation of your enthusiasm for the task, and should be applauded on its own merit.

Nice stuff this week Taskmockmanster. I hope the winning prize is not dull and more of an extravabonanza.

Okay then, need to find out if it's just puree or puree mixed with chopped tomatoes...

Did you fail me on one of the easy tasks from last week?

Is this type of thing acceptable for the desktop task?

Yes mcjihge, I failed you on one of the Easy tasks from last week. I am afraid I could not count playing Halo ODST as a form of meditation.

Anything is acceptable for the desktop task as long as there is a running theme through all 5 of them.

When I right click the desktop/go into properties/desktop tab, it's letting me choose one of the shitty windows backgrounds no bother. But if I go to browse, and select my own picture, nothing happens. :?:
