When the moon hits your eye like a big Pizza Pie, it's November!
Okay, officially known as Beaver Moon, but this past November, a Full Pizza Moon! Rob hit a milestone birthday, and people came to celebrate.
Although I wanted to throw a big party at the club Rob insisted on something smaller at home. Art and Chris came down from Sudbury for the occasion, and we also invited Dave and Therese, Kaarina and Mike, Liz and Darcy, Wendy and Raymond, Amita and Twincy, Alex and Penny, Rob and me.
So Alex made pizzas and it was a feast to behold. A pro-oven that brings temperature up to 800 degrees and dough made ahead for 16 pies. Chronicled on Insta @alexpizzapies Some of my favourite combinations were pesto, pistachio and Fior' di Latte; basil, mozzarella and tomato (classic margherita); chorizo and mozzarella and mushrooms. All so yummy!
What a fantastic night! After wonderful dinner, we had Rob sit in a chair and we toasted him with stories. Some gentle teasing ensued. Art talked about high school Bridge classes, Darcy some tales about being college roommates, Liz about the time he returned pasta to a kitchen in Priano. Alex talked about memories growing up and I talked about how lucky I was to have him by my side for nearly 50 years (gasp!!).
Good cause to celebrate, and so happpy we were able to honor him in style.
