It's Pizza Friday!

We have pizza every Friday for our evening meal.  

It is "our thing."

Even when we're traveling or going out to a concert we carry on this weekly culinary ritual, with very few exceptions.  

We look forward to it.  It is a harbinger of the weekend ahead.  A celebration of another week concluded.  I credit Matt with kicking off this household tradition, based on a similar dinner pattern from his childhood.

I love spontaneity, but I am truly a creature of habit, too.  Just as with the larger seasonal patterns, I enjoy the daily patterns of life, too.

Summer finds us grilling crusts and re-heating leftovers over the campfire.  

It is just as lovely to warm the oven and fill the whole house with pizza perfume on a snowy Winter Friday though, too.

Every week is different and that keeps it interesting as well as tasty. 
  Stuffed crust,
      white sauce,
           "meat" lovers,
                asparagus and potato,
                      Detroit-style,
                          sauce on top,
                            thin crust
                       grilled,
                    Supreme,
              deep-dish,
        Thai peanut,
     pesto topped,

  Frico-edges,
and on and on to blissful pizza infinity.

Huzzah for pizza-based tradition!
