“You can’t make everyone happy. You’re not pizza.”
– Anonymous
Pizza on Friday night has been a tradition in Reid’s family since she was a little girl. We’ve carried it on every Friday night since we got married. That’s almost 30 years now… The only break we had was during the eighteen months we were sailing around the Caribbean Sea, and even then, we had a few occasions making it, including a special Thanksgiving hosting a fellow sailor whose wife was away for the holiday. While Reid loves to experiment with different toppings and types of pies, I tend to be pretty straight forward and rarely stray too far from my norm with a few exceptions. In honor of Reid’s post last week about our passion for pizza I thought I’d put together a gallery of our pies through the years. We hope you enjoy it!
