Jack, I will be praying that the weather will be fine for your trip and that the doctor has nothing but good news for you. Overcast or rainy here this weekend and quite abit of rain this morning. Now the sun is out. Hopefully, clearing for awhile. I realize that we need rain, but we still have too much exposed red dirt around our house. Tired of having to wipe or wash the dogs paws everytime she goes out. Pat

Today is really nice here. It's supposed to get to forty degrees after reaching a low of 4 last night. Tomorrow it's supposed to be nasty wet weather. You might know. It's the day I have to travel to Cherry Hill to see my doctor. I sure hope he doesn't find anything. I'm getting kind of tired of being cut open. But on the good side, I now feel better than I have in the last two years. Just hope nothing attacks this broken down body. Jerilyn---Don't forget our dinner date wednesday.

Sometime after the war my father started helping out in the pizza kitchen on weekends. Anyway, in '46 or '47, my father took me to the shop to spend some time in the pizza kitchen with him and the chef. It was the beginning to my fascination with pizza. Pizza means pitta - like in pita bread. It is a Middle Eastern flatbread. Before the Roman Empire existed, the Greeks developed a port city that eventually became known as Naples. Along with the Greeks came Phoenician traders and Hebrew traders bringing pitta with them. The way they would eat it, they would sprinkle olive oil on the pitta, some cheese and bits of fish or vegetables. Remember this was 1000 years before the first tomato arrived in Europe. Over time, the word pitta became pizza. If you listen to a real Italian say the word, it's not "pete's uh" its pronounced more like "pitz-suh". It was only made in and around Naples. Naples also had the good fortune of being the birthplace of mozzarella. Around the time of Columbus, some monks nearby invented it using buffalo milk -- that's water buffalo, not the kind we have here. Mozzarella became the perfect cheese to use on pizza. In 1889, Rafael Esposito, a chef in Naples was asked to make a special pizza for the visiting king of Italy and his Queen Margharita. He racked his brain and then came up with the idea of a pizza with toppings that would be the colors of the Italian flag - red, white and green. The white and green were easy, mozzarella and basil sprigs. For the red he decided to try slices of tomatoes - a new vegetable just introduced into Italy. He called it La Pizza Margarita. It was an instant hit and pizza with tomatoes (or pizza con pomodoro) it became one of the last big things immigrants from the Naples area remembered about their homeland when they arrived in the U.S. They tried to duplicated it here, but it was impossible to get mozzarella - no buffalo milk. And even today, buffalo mozzarella doesn't last more than a few days after it's made. But in New Jersey we had lots of tomatoes! When DeLorenzo's opened in Trenton in 1927 - it was maybe the third pizzeria in the U.S. after New Haven and NYC, yup, New Haven has the first - they used a lot more tomatoes than in Naples. And gave it the closest English name they could come up with - tomato pie. Tomato pies have chunky sauce on them - more like diced and semi-crushed tomatoes - rather than the slices of tomatoes on the Naples original. And the original tomato pizza had slices of mozzarella on them, not ground-up stuff like most of today's pizza. And I know this is true because my father heard pizza stories from his father who was around Naples when Chef Esposito revolutionized pizza. Wow - that's long, I could go for a slice of la pizza Margarita right now!

Frank..enjoyed the lesson on Pizza. Down the road from you do they still have Pizza on 31 in Allerton? We always went for Pizza at Dominic's on the circle in Flemington. Ringoes had a great place for Pizza too. He made something called "Around the World" and believe me it had everything on it. Frank from CA where did you go for Pizza in Ridgefield? Sunday will be a great Pizza day for the football game. I followed all the games especially our Eagles,and wouldn't you know I will be away on Sunday, I can't win either. Go N.E. Patriots.
