Our latest discovery: homemade margherita pizza is AMAZING with fresh mozzarella balls. You can't go wrong with the classic combination of freshly harvested basil leaves, fresh tomato, and fresh mozzarella (none of that packaged, shredded stuff). On a thin from-scratch crust with a tomato base, fresh ground pepper and fresh ground salt, and you're good to go. Yes, I'm really pushing the fresh aspect here. Simple, wholesome ingredients, and you know exactly what goes into it. Pizza doesn't have to be unhealthy and greasy.

And because we can never bear not to: half of the pizza was our "everything scrumptious" half: sausage, bacon, onions, red peppers, tomatoes, fresh basil, and fresh grated parmesan.
Doesn't that sound lovely? But at the end of the day, simple and classic won (margherita) for both of us by a hair.
The great thing about cooking your own food is being able to tailor flavors exactly to your liking.
I close my eyes and imagine the dark hills I would have to cross / to reach you. For I am in love with you / and this is what it is like or what it is like in words.

When I grow up, I'd like to be a cream puff. A cream puff with apricots, or even a plain one. Lukewarm at the bakery. In the window.
