Amy- Oh yeah, that's a good pizza. Those things all go together so well. And same here with the guilt complex.

Lu- a sickie is where you don't go to work because you are *cough cough* sick. Heh, I like that your husband has his own tube. I'll have to follow his lead.

Wendy- Finally a woman who doesn't squeeze from the top!

Bonnie- Bonnie, Bonnie, Bonnie. That is a very shortsighted understanding of the tube, and its workings.

Izaac- And now, another role reversal: a top-squeezing guy. C'mon man, you can beat this.

Simone R. said...

Georgina said...

2. No way.
3. Yep, and then I remember and squeeze from the bottom.
4. Totally.

1. Favourite pizza topping - a range of vegetables, particularly carrot, zucchini, avocado, kalamata olives and peas, definitely no capsicum or cheese, maybe some seafood like fish or prawns.
2. The iPad is now available. Excited? - Considering I don't own anything else made by Apple, why would I be?
3. Are you one of those annoying people who squeezes toothpaste from the top of the tube? - No.
4. Are you tempted to chuck a sickie when it rains? - not at the moment - I'm a contractor - I get paid by the hour.
5. Abbreviate your past two weeks into a sentence. - Busy with procrastination.

Pedro said...

1. anchovies...mmmmmmm with pretty much anything.
2. no
3. no. It boils my blood.
4. no. Surf heaps though.
5. Surf, house hunt, surf, cook, surf, house find, surf....get sick.

Ruth said...

1. mushrooms
2. nah - makes no difference to me
3. no.
4. yep, although as I don't work, a 'sickie' for me looks quite different... it means I encourage my kids to watch dvds with me all day while we heat up chicken nuggets or something easy for food. We call it 'pajama days' here!
5. house bought, kids happier, lost purse, lost mobile, many tears, great sermon, husband fantastic. (not a sentence, more a flow of events and thoughts)

kristina said...

1. The cheese and the sauce are the best parts. I like all sorts of veggies and am starting to eat meat on pizza.
2. No
3. I squeeze the toothpaste in the middle. (I might not if I had to share it.)
4. No. Maybe for snow though.
5. I worked in a greenhouse nealy everyday and it was cold and rainy.

onlinesoph said...

1. Anything with anchovies with it
2. nope
3. unfortunately I am
4. No...but I have been known to call in sick from colds which in other weather, I would just put up with
5. Our son Nathan was born two weeks ago. Life is now totally different!

Simone-Mushroom and lemon?? that sounds very weird.. especially if there was cheese involved. I had a quick go of an ipad yeasterday. Touched it a bit, got bored, and left.

Georgina-thanks Georgina, nice to be back:) I like Crust. They do some good work. I think I've tried that one you're talking about. I am all for artichoke on a pizza.

Laetitia-Your pizza sounds good except for the inclusion of peas and exclusion of cheese. that's where it all falls down for me.

Pedro-I've tried hard to like anchovies, but just can't handle them. It's like eating hair that's been marinated in old smelly fish. "House find"?? Where?

Ruth-yeah, there were some pj days at ours last week. That's awesome that you bought a place! I know it's been an ongoing stress for a long while. That's great, Ruth.

Kristina-That sounds cool. I'd like to work in a greenhouse. How cold are we talking?

Soph- Mamma!! I was so excited to hear the news about wee Nathan. That is fantastic, and a real answer to prayer. So happy for you guys. Hope things are going well- the mist will part before too long. ps- hi 5 sam for me

Ben, it's amazing what you find when you travel. Before we went to Europe we drove the Great Ocean Road from Lorne to Port Campbell. In Pt C. we had pizza at a place that offered potatoes and pears on their pizzas.

In Europe we found pizza places that had sweet corn, peas and avocado as available toppings (along with all the usual things).

Beth said...

Yeah!! The quiz is back!!!

1. Onion, basil and garlic...
2. Nope....who can afford it??
3. No
4. Yes and no....
5. Relaxing between spring and summer semesters....

Ben McLaughlin said...

Laetitia- Pears?? Weird.

Beth- I envy your season.. between Spring and Summer is my favourite time.

Laetitia :-) said...

Ben - I know - and it wasn't even promoted as a dessert pizza.

Another favourite activity - baking - or any other food that requires an oven to be put on - enjoy the heat emanating from that baby during and after.
