don't you think it's time we talked more about pizza?

i ran out of the best pizza flour on the planet -- king arthur's sir lancelot high gluten flour -- and had to re-order. king arthur told me they were experimenting with a new shipping system called "best way." well, i ordered on the 16th, and received the order on the 18th by fedex. that's right -- i got 2nd day fedex shipping for the price of regular shipping. way to go king arthur!

but buying this pizza flour has definitely put a bee in my bonnet: for chicago deep-dish pizza. i know, i know. i live in new york, and as such i shouldn't utter such thoughts. but the food police aside, my husband onced lived in chicago. however, he had long banished any hope of having a deep-dish pizza from his mind.

so -- i am now actively searching for a reasonably priced deep-dish pizza pan. these are usually 14 in. by 2 in. on saturday i will go in search of the pan: i'll start at zabar's housewares dept. and move on to bridge kitchenware or the broadway panhandler. then, if the weather on sunday isn't scorching, we'll check out the classic chicago spinach deep dish pizza a la edwardo's. . . which, if worse comes to worse, does happen to ship frozen all over the country!


you'll be the first to hear how it goes. . .
