I guess the moral of this story is never eat frozen pizzas made
in California.

Or anywhere else for that matter.

I've been eating Naples pizza for nearly a year...I don't think I'll ever
be able to eat a frozen pizza again.

Now that is something I could never argue with. 🙂

When we first moved to Italy , my youngest child did not like pizza,
after eating the pizza in Naples, he was a convert. There is simply
nothing like it.

I am dying to try a pizza in Napoli, but I'm not going to brave the
summer heat in Italy.... so it'll be a couple more years for me before
I get there.

Why not go in spring?

The thing about naples pizza is that you can come close, but you can't
accurately reproduce it in the states. The flour can't be had.

We have a single American who is certified to produce real Neapolitan
pizza. Wish I could remember his name. He won lots of pizza throwing
contests and now he's an officially Italian certificated pizza maker,
correct flour & all.

Eighteen year olds are also adults for the purposes of being subjected
to capital punishment, or going over to Iraq to get their appendages
blown off, but they aren't allowed to consume beer.

California already tried that idea, remember? It wasn't a good one.
We can't control Iraq and we couldn't control the Viet Nam conflict,
but we *can* control our alcohol laws.

Of course. Can you spell "Prohibition" ?
Strict alcohol law that made the Mafia rich.
But somehow I fail to see "control" in this scenario ...

That has been a subject debated for decades. Unfortunately, too many 18 year
olds do not have the sensibility to safely consume alcohol in moderation. At
21, some do not either, nor will they at 41 or 51 or 71.

Interesting worldview.
18 year olds, who aren't capable of "drinking safely", nevertheless have
the ability to avoid getting their appendages blown off.
They aren't trustworthy enough for handling alcohol, but they're trustworthy
enough to not kill innocents in combat situations.
Reminds me of the song "Eve of destruction"s line "You're old enough
to kill, but not for voting" ...

June was ok this year. The rest was awful.

It was wonderful up here (between Venice and Ravenna).

July and August were hellish down here in the South. No wonder all of
the locals go out of town for the entirety of August.

OBfood : Buittoni offers a frozen pizza "American Style".
I haven't had the nerve to try it.

I can only imagine. I've been less than impressed by the american style
pizza that I've sen around, namely Galleria Umberto. Hot dogs and
french fry pizza anyone?

Frozen pizzas from Italy are usually quite good. Trader Joe's
has a line of them, and there is at least one other brand sold
in the U.S. that includes buffalo mozzarella.

Go back to class. CA had a few years during the Viet Nam Conflict era
when the drinking age was lowered to age 18. We discovered it wasn't
a good idea and the legal drinking age reverted back to 21.
