pizza

We had one cheese, one pepperoni, and one cheese, pepperoni, pineapple and olive. But tonight my pie was extra-special. I bought a hydroponic basil plant from the San Antonio Farmer's Market when I was visiting my parents like a month or more ago. We used most of it but I thought I might try planting it and see what happens. Apparently that basil wanted to put down some roots and watch them grow, 'cause it's one happy plant right now.

All of that to say this: fresh basil on pizza is so unbelievably phenomenal. I had sauteed onions, lightly steamed broccoli, olives and after it finished cooking, tossed some of those happy, healthy basil leaves on top. Que Magnifique! Do try it. Do.
