Stop By & Say Hi

If anyone is going to be at the Shore Leave convention next month, be sure to say hi! I'm a guest author--I'll be on three panels Saturday. So if you're there, make sure you stop by "Everything's Better in a TARDIS," "Young Adult S/F and Fantasy," and "I Believe in Sherlock."

Pizza Everywhere!

While I was in Europe last month (which was incredible, albeit really, really HOT), I had the chance to sample a lot of pizza. In fact, I had more pizza than I probably would have at home, but it never got old because each pizza was a different experience.

Pizza in Venice was first. I don't have a picture of the pizza itself, but it was a thin, almost cracker-like crust with tomato sauce, cheese, and basil. (Called "Margarita Pizza.")

We sat right on the Grand Canal.

Then Dubrovnik, Croatia. The crust was doughier, but still thin.

I did not eat the olive.

Then we had pizza in Corfu, Greece. We asked for vegetarian, but...

In Greece, vegetarian pizza comes with complementary ham.

 Katie and her family had pizza in Naples, Italy, and took a picture for me.

They also got to make pizza.

 We had pizza again in Florence, Italy.

The red, white, and green (tomato, cheese, basil) is for the Italian flag.

 And finally, back home (well, visiting family in CT during the college trip that immediately followed Europe) I made my own Margarita Pizza!

I still need some practice.
