Jay :
at first glance I read that as
"doggie-based vegetable biranyi"

... raised my eyebrows.

The custom of bringing home leftovers is one that I welcomed gladly when the kids were small, especially from the Pizza Hut. The boys and their father relish cold refrigerated pizza and I did not have to cook breakfast. I don’t know if any of you have ever eaten cold slices of Pizza Hut pizza, but if you haven’t—don’t knock the idea until you try it.

Hey, I never met a pizza I didn't like.

I count this as a vice, or at least as a character weakness.

10412. Macnas - 7/19/2004 9:37:03 PM

Except the pizzas with fish on, fish do not belong on pizza.

10413. alistairconnor - 7/19/2004 9:42:19 PM

Anchovies, yes. Salmon, yes, in certain circumstances. Tuna, in a pinch.

My philosophy is libertarian, or even libertine : anything goes on a pizza.

10414. Macnas - 7/19/2004 9:44:24 PM

I thought you were vegetarian?

10415. alistairconnor - 7/19/2004 10:03:20 PM

Currently a non-practising vegetarian. The cycling trip did me in. I would have eaten anything, generally a kilo of pasta or potatoes per meal, along with any bits of cheese, dead animals, or even greenery that got in my way.

But even as a practising vegetarian, I was a fish-eating apostate.

I am now ready to go gallivanting in beautiful downtown Lake Geneva with my daughter-in-law. We will have haircuts and we will act as Chicago tourists--we will take a boat excursion to see the beautiful lake homes, have lunch, and see the gift and clothes shops.

Sounds cool Mago.

10418. Macnas - 7/19/2004 10:59:20 PM

Fish, the only fish I'll eat is trout, wild river trout. Nice mild taste, and all the better when you've caught it yourself.

I love cold pizza. My favorite pizza is from a local place we go...it's called a Chaobella. He puts ricotta cheese, basil, proscuitto, and paper-thin sliced Roma tomatoes on it and sprinkles just a little bit of mozzerella over it all.

10420. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:03:11 AM

That sounds good. Proscuitto is a kind of parma type ham, or am I wrong?

10421. judithathome - 7/20/2004 12:09:32 AM

Right...it's wonderful.

I guess you could use regular smoked ham...it's just a nice touch that he uses the proscuitto.

I have even dreamed about that pizza! I only have it about once every six months. I'm sure I could eat it every day but that wouldn't be wise.

10422. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:17:11 AM

I don't eat pizza much myself. Nice when I do through.

10423. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:17:33 AM

"though"

10424. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:18:57 AM

I do eat paella regularly, but without the snails.

10425. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 12:21:10 AM

Ah, pizza! The worst pizza I ever had was still better than a whack with a hammer.


I could not eat my Thom Kah Gai last night because I still haven't picked up the microwave from the old joint nor have I found my saucepans so there was no way to re-heat it. Instead I ate a couple of cold pieces of chicken satay.

Hauled another load of empty boxes out for recycling. I took things a little bit easier last night than I have been but I still got quite a bit done. I've about talked myself into the red regardless of how hard it is to cover later.

Last thing I'm going to look into is paper. If I can find the right color and it's easy to put up and take down then I'll paper instead of paint.

10426. Macnas - 7/20/2004 12:22:57 AM

Really? I can't abide paper myself.

10427. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 12:24:19 AM

Call me crazy, but it seems to me that there would be a market for wallpaper that didn't have to be glued down all over the place. Say a big roll of butcher paper with a colored or patterened side that could be attached at the edges but wouldn't require steaming and the like to get it off later.

Or perhaps there is such a product and I just haven't come across it.

Time to Google.

10428. Ms. No - 7/20/2004 12:25:45 AM

I prefer paint to paper, but it's not my house and there's only so much effort I want to put into it when I leave.

But I really really want red walls.
