yes, still in missouri


 

Joined some new friends for a late lunch today. Cathy is working for Biden and planning to volunteer at the polls on November 3. Alex is finishing an oral-history book. Oddly, we were all planning to go to Taiwan this year—Alex and I both studied Chinese—but had to cancel. Anyway this place specialized in wood-fired oven pizza. It was awesome. The Blanca Fresca—fig jam, goat cheese, mozzerella, prociutto, fresh greens and parmesan shavings was a fave. And the margherita was everything a margherita should be. Thin crust. Sorry, I don't ordinarily take pictures of food. And I can't speak for the wine, since I didn't drink any. The family who runs the place said the harvest this year was poor.

  1. Sounds like the pizza is worth the trip. And surely they have some sort of half-palatable dry red with alcohol under 16%? Even good pizza ain't picky about wine. I'm game for a visit before the weather gods turn nasty.

  3. David, I took the wine list for you. They all sound horrible to me, but I'm no oenophile.
    And thank you Ivy, I AM slim. Down like 20 lbs from a year ago. Only 20 more to go!
