Oh, dear goodness, the question of pineapple on pizza has raised its ugly head and been joined by equally interesting possibilities. Actually, mashed potatoes sounds like a good idea. Spread mashed potatoes on the crust instead of ghastly tomato sauce, add strips of smoked ham, maybe some green beans, sprinkle cheese, and brown that pizza up. Guess what's for dinner sometime next week.

I dunk peaches in boiling water for half a minute, then immediately drop them into ice water. Presto: the peels slip right off.

Had a nice, long sleep-in to start the Saturday. Just gonna be a boring day of uploading and reviewing e-book versions from three different retailers. Ideally everything will look fine and I don't have to tinker with the formatting and have to test over and over. Also ideally there will be plenty of afternoon left over to cram in some quality time with my PS5.

I am about to start a new elevator pitch and am at the glum "what the hell am I gonna to say?" stage.

My sister keeps a Google speaker by the pool so we can have music. I was treading water to Stairway to Heaven, and really digging it. My arms and legs moved in all kinds of contortions. The tempo of the song sped up and so did I. I closed my eyes and aqua-danced, feeling the wondrous weightlessness of my willowy limbs in the water. The music was in me, like a spiritual experience, and the anticipation intensified as the crescendo of the song neared.

But we never got there. Just before we got to “wind on down the road” - my seven-year-old grand-niece’s sweet voice called out, “Hey Google! Play Had Me by Halftime by Morgan Wallen!”

Lol! I popped my eyes open quick!

For pizza, I say simplicity is best. A plain cheese pizza from a place where they know what they're doing? Chef's kiss. I do like some extras here and there like feta, marinated tomatoes, and of course pineapple.

You had me until pineapple.

I agree simplicity is best, which is why I make pizza with Parmigiano Reggiano, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil. Nothing else. Make it fresh and there is nothing to touch it.

Straight to jail, right away.

Parmigiano Reggiano, sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh basil

This sounds right up my alley. I put the marinated tomatoes just a tiny step above sun-dried. To clarify, I typically get two pies - one with just cheese and pineapple (or with feta too), and another with marinated tomatoes and feta (or extra cheese, or parmesan, or whatever other cheese options are available). Not all together.

The Parmigiano Reggiano mention immediately made me recall the Italian Olympic gymnast cheese girl. Pretty certain I posted this on the old site, but who could grow tired of the cheese girl? One of the best endorsements imo.

Today I asked her if she stills wants to be a publisher. She said, "No, I want to be a librarian."

I love that her dreams are still book-related. But she gotta learn some respect for the Zep.

She knows so much music. Sweet Dreams are Made of These came on, and she sang along. She knew all the words.
