Somehow, the makers of this Japanese pizza commercial have made pizza into some sort of strange manga comic. I can’t stop singing this tune.

This drawing is very special to me. My oldest daughter drew if for me in February of 2004 when we began making pizza together. She said it is a picture of her favorite pizza, our pizza. It is on all of my recipe cards and was on my original Pizza Maker’s Journal web site. This weekend I took some time to work it in to the site so my daughter can see that her drawing is on every page.

I can’t say enough about the downright sweetness of these Extreme Pizza Cutters designed by Frankie Flood from the University of Illinois. I can only imagine tearing through one of my pies with an all-aluminum, powder-coated carbon fiber custom cutter! Hats off to this extraordinarily talented artist.

Say, this could go along well with the tricked out dough mixer we saw a few months ago…

Now and then I like to do an image search for “pizza” to see all of the crazy things people do with pizza! Here’s the winner for this month…

Most know that I don’t use a dough mixer (yet). In fact, all of my mixing is done by my trusty breadmaker. But if I did have a mixer, it would be VERY tempting to get a custom paint job on that baby. Maybe metal flake yellow with hand-painted pepperoni?

Apparently this guy took his to get it signed by Alton Brown (known for his show Good Eats on The Food Network). Alton was impressed enough to put a photo on his web site calling it the “Coolest mixer on Earth”. I’d like to take that thing for a “spin”.
