Our friends got a new Ooni pizza oven which uses wood pellets so they hosted a pizza brunch to try it out. It worked nicely and many stomachs were filled. 😊 The dough was handmade and we had a few different types of pizza, including a yummy Japanese-style corn/mayo/tuna pizza. It sounds weird, but it’s super yummy!
I hope you had a good day!

We visited a friends’ house for a pulque and mead drink tasting, garden tour, and of course good food. The man of the house is a sushi chef, so we were treated to some yummy salmon carpaccio. It was fun to watch him effortlessly slice up the fish. Wow!
Our friends grow so many different kinds of vegetables, herbs, and fruit in their yard. It’s really amazing! And they have chickens too, so they can enjoy fresh eggs all the time. As a bonus, we got to see the new chicks they are raising. So cute!

こんばんは and happy Pi Day!
To celebrate the occasion, I made a couple of Costco thin-crust pizzas (the boxed ones in the freezer section of the stores). I like these pizzas but since I had some leftover carnitas and a couple of jalapeños, I decided to replace the pepperoni on one of them with these toppings. I wasn’t sure how the combination would taste, but I think it turned out pretty good! And then the other pizza had double-pepperoni. 😆🍕
Speaking of pizza, whenever I make a frozen pizza, I always feel the need to spice it up a bit by adding oregano, garlic powder, black pepper, and a few shakes of red pepper flakes on top before it goes into the oven. And sometimes if we have some shredded cheese handy in the fridge, I’ll add a little. It takes just a minute but I think it adds so much. 😊
I hope you had a nice day!

Homemade pizza – hard to beat! Tonight’s selections were a Portuguese sausage (from Maui) and onion pizza, and a Japanese-style corn and tuna pizza. It might sound weird to Western ears, but it is so yummy.
Hope you had a nice day!

Tonight Mariko had a few friends over for dinner and she decided to make pizza. Not just a single pizza, but multiple pizzas with different toppings! 🍕 She actually made twice as much dough as we could eat, plus the toppings left are enough for another Pizza Nite, which is fine by me since I am crazy about pizza.
If you are wondering about the topping selections, here’s what was available:
I think we made about 7 small pizzas before we were all stuffed! Oh, in addition to pizza, there was kale, cauliflower, shrimp and cocktail sauce, green salad, and roasted potatoes. And wine! 🍷
The ladies are chatting away, even as it gets late, but I have to turn in… waking up at 5:30 am requires an early bed time. 😀
おやすみ！
