I finally had to try Hawaiian pizza because the debate on Twitter made me curious. How bad could pineapple–the crux of all the arguments–really be on a pizza? It seemed to me that it would be lighter than most cheesy/garlicky/greasy … Continue reading 👍 Hawaiian Pizza
I guess I did wait a long time to try my hand at tamales—I’m 70—but I have thought about them a lot. I just never did much steaming and that is what kind of kept me away from them, that … Continue reading First-Time Tamales
