Where I'm from the pizza sauce always has an acidic taste, but in Italy it seems much sweeter.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recipes!Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583750782499185291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991271575769102048.post-57781255381979003952007-09-22T17:07:00.000-07:002007-09-22T17:07:00.000-07:00Rowena - that is the main benefit of dining with o...Rowena - that is the main benefit of dining with others, isn't it?

Besides pizza, you know you can make all kinds of wonderful things in the wood-burning oven. So, if you don't want to learn to make pizza, I will come over and do it for you. :-)<BR/><BR/>Tongue in Cheek/Corey - Oh, please do come on over. I love to feed people.

I know exactly what you mean and had to laugh out loud since I too, often can't decide on anything that gives me a choice between a selection of two...especially when it comes to food. Love the pizza photos, all that yummy *real* mozzarella Italy is so famous for -- when my husband and I go out for pizza we each get a different combo of toppings, and half way through our pizzas, we switch in order to eat, not taste, what the other has ordered! <BR/><BR/>I have to admit that it was my husband's idea from the beginning. Not because he's a Gemini but because he's just plain greedy!Rowenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15335673619430109527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991271575769102048.post-61170697991358606622007-09-10T04:05:00.000-07:002007-09-10T04:05:00.000-07:00Can I come to your house and eat?Can I come to your house and eat?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991271575769102048.post-7472850882141182322007-09-10T02:36:00.000-07:002007-09-10T02:36:00.000-07:00Would you believe that I've yet to make pizza?

P's not much of a pizza eater either, but I've already told him that this winter we *will* do it (still a bit too warm to fire up our oven to 500 or so)....<BR/><BR/>And then? The plan is to put a wood-burning one in the basement of the new (old) house--part of our rustic kitchen :) Guess we should learn to make pizza first though, so thanks!Michelle | Bleeding Espressohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578703393987896737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2991271575769102048.post-67001035331896747192007-09-09T20:13:00.000-07:002007-09-09T20:13:00.000-07:00Oh yum.
