Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ha, chrismg, I knew that sounded weird when I said it but I couldn't think why! Note: we do not have an Elm St, have to go to Fairfield for that.

I have decided to splurge on pizza delivery with salad and zeppoli (to be delivered for lunch but eaten over several meals) but I need someone to tell me which pizze to order. I've narrowed it down to

Pizza Bianca

Grandma Pie

Garbage Pie

Please make my decisions for me, b.org

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Since I don't know what Grandma Pie or Garbage Pie are, I'm going to go with Pizza Bianca.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Garbage is like supreme, right? I think I'm also voting for Pizza Bianca.

Thanks for the birthday wishes! I am celebrating...by going to get an IV for a migraine. And maybe ice cream.

(I don't really want my parents to know, so please don't mention that on FB.)

So you may have full information:

Pizza Bianca - Ricotta, grated Romano, premium Mozzarella, fresh chopped garlic and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil (no pizza sauce).

Grandma Pie - Vicini's style round pie with sliced Mozzarella, topped with our famous pizza sauce, grated Romano, extra-virgin olive oil and oregano.

Garbage Pie - Pepperoni, Italian sausage, mushrooms, green peppers and onions.

Oof, sorry, Dana. Hope the meds help and ice cream is good!

I vote Grandma if you want red sauce, and Bianca if you don't.

Oh, totally Pizza Bianca.

There's a restaurant in Washington where we lived that did a sauceless pizza with shredded potatoes, truffle oil, and some kind of cheese. One of the few things I miss about that place, restaurant-wise.

White Pie for the win!

I'd want to commit one big enough that it would no longer be a crime.

Too Big To Jail

I finished my writing deadline which was due on Monday. I have to say the country teetering and tottering about becoming a Fascist police state has been distracting.
