Happy Cake Day!


This is the way to go in my book. Everything gets assembled on parchment and the parchment goes on the hot stone in a 500(f) oven for 7 or 8 minutes. Then you can lift up one side of the pizza and slide the parchment out and let the pizza finish for however long it needs to meet your preference. It’s normally another 5 minutes for me to get a nice crispy crust.
The whole process removes the need for flour or semolina on the stone and, in turn, removes the issues of all that sliding around when you drop the pizza from the peel.
A New Jersey left is where a driver needs to make a left at a normally light controlled intersection. But instead of a left turn lane they’re required to go through the intersection and take a right hand turn so they can loop back onto the cross street and pass through the intersection. I grew up in northern NJ knowing them as Jug Handles.
It was justified as a traffic control tactic that removes the wait cycle for left turns.

The article also says you can exit before the intersection to make a left on the side street before the light and then go through but I’m less familiar with that design. It requires you to make a left through waiting traffic which seems much harder to accomplish.
