Pizza del Giardino Della Famiglia Reese
We're now eating something fresh from our backyard vegetable patch with dinner almost every night. Summer has officially, finally, arrived.
For example, last night: Crust, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and Parmigiano-Reggiano by Trader Joe's. Roma tomatoes, red onions, sweet corn, parsley, and basil by Farmer Byrne.
You may think corn an unusual pizza topping, but I assure you, once you've had fresh-cut sweet kernels atop a pizza you'll fall madly in love. One of our favorite pizzas from Arizmendi, our neighborhood bakery co-op, is toppped with corn, tomatoes, red onions, goat's-milk cheese, and fresh cilantro (and was the inspiration for last night's pie).

Mmmmm....
Did BY get mad at the crust this time when he was trying to roll it out? It's so cute when that happens!
HairyAlien sez: After the Dough Anti-Defamation Association took out a restraining order on Byrne, I became the official crust-roller-outer in the house.
I wish I had veggie garden. The closest I can get to gardening is my fire-escape herb garden, which includes right now: lavendar, spicy basil, lemon verbena, and peppermint. If you have any advice on how to use my herbs, send it along. I've been researching making essential oil-like blends.
I may try to incorporate the herbs into your last post about ice-pops with my mini popsicle moulds i got at Target!... that I have yet to use. Thanks.
This is funny. We have some deep freeze pizzas here that come in "American Style", which includes a super thick bottom & crust, and, among other "american" toppings, it comes with lots of corn.
Come to think about it, there is actually almost everything in this topping: pineapple, ham, salami, tomatoe cubies, onion rings, peperoni, lots of cheese....and corn. "American Style pizza". Should I write a complaint letter to the manager?
I am somewhat familiar with pizza.... I-ll be there from monday to taste test....
