The dancer that pizza built: margherita on the bahbie
Pizza
Italian cuisine
The daughter had been in Florence for a month before I joined her there. She had developed a strict adherence to the 10,000 calorie a day dancer's diet, a major component of which was pizza. And in Italy, pizza isn't the calorie-laden thing it can be here. Rather, the crust is wafer-thin, yet magically tender. Toppings are judicious and few. Cheese is gently fluttered over at the end. The objective is a total taste experience in which the crust participates, yet nothing overpowers. It truly is nearly magical. Bottom line: she ate a s***load of it with utter abandon. <br /> <br />Lydia, the trip never would have happened without you and your laser-focused dedication to what you do and love. This is for you, with extreme gratitude for being your mother.
