You're Invited to a Virtual Pizza Party
First I want to say a huge thank you to my awesome friends who gave a shout out to the interview that I did with young adult author Jo Knowles. (If you missed it: Click here.) It was my first interview, and you helped make it a success! Thank you, thank you, thank you! And thanks also to the new people who stopped by the blog and left comments. I'm happy to have new friends and readers. I plan to do another author interview in a couple of weeks, 'cause it was just that fun.
What is also fun is eating Hubby's pizza. And since I haven't discussed pizza on the blog in over a year (yikes!), I thought it due time. After all pizza is one of my favorite things! Definitely close to my heart. I'd go so far as to say, it's something of a muse.
Because as former New Yorkers, we take pizza very seriously. So seriously, that Hubby makes his own. A finely crafted dough and sauce recipe developed over years of study and taste tests. (I get to help with the tasting of course.)

And as much as I would have bet money, it couldn't get any better, recently Hubby made a slight adjustment to the sauce recipe. And we've had an explosion of deliciousness in the house to help me through my revision. How delicious? I would attempt to find the words, but Elizabeth Gilbert gets the prize for the best pizza description ever. So I won't try to top her. Instead I hope you'll read what she says, then close your eyes and envision we're all together, sharing the best magic muse pie imaginable.
“How was I to have known there could be a crust in this world that was thin and doughy? Holy of holies! Thin, doughy, strong, gummy, yummy, chewy salty pizza paradise. On top, there is a sweet tomato sauce that foams up all bubbly and creamy when it melts the fresh buffalo mozzarella, and the one spring of basil in the middle of the whole deal somehow infuses the entire pizza with herbal radiance, much the same way one shimmering movie star in the middle of a party brings a contact high of glamour to everyone around her.”
