Man vs. Calzone: The Olive Invasion

Well, not all good things end nicely. Something we should remember when going into this week's AFC Championship Game. But that isn't what we came here to talk about. We came here to talk about olives. And how they ruin perfectly good calzones. The calzone competition of 2009 has come to a sad end. A sad and awful tasting end. I loved these zone's but I hate olives. And this final zone was an Olive Invasion. It was not a good way to go out.

Thanks again to Lindsay for her delicious calzones. So far they have been the best thing I have eaten all year. But I am looking forward to getting back to a regular, not so high in carb diet.

Bluebird

There's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say, stay in there, I'm not going
to let anybody see
you.
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I pur whiskey on him and inhale
cigarette smoke
and the whores and the bartenders
and the grocery clerks
never know that
he's
in there.

there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too tough for him,
I say,
stay down, do you want to mess
me up?
you want to screw up the
works?
you want to blow my book sales in
Europe?
there's a bluebird in my heart that
wants to get out
but I'm too clever, I only let him out
at night sometimes
when everybody's asleep.
I say, I know that you're there,
so don't be
sad.
then I put him back,
but he's singing a little
in there, I haven't quite let him
die
and we sleep together like
that
with our
secret pact
and it's nice enough to
make a man
weep, but I don't
weep, do
you?

Simply Halarious

It has been some time since I've watched SNL other than what is put on NBC.com. Yesterday my good friend Stephen Saban told me that I must watch the clips posted from this weekend's SNL, saying that they were consistent, genius and that there wasn't a bad one in the bunch. Once I saw that Neil Patrick Harris was the host I knew that he had to be right. And he was...

Man vs. Calzone: Vegetable Medley Explosion

After an all day hangover this past Saturday I felt the best way to finally repair myself was with none other than a Lindsay Maiocco super sweet calzone. Filled with more vegetable goodness than the Pepper Fetish this zone had every veggie that I love and more. Packed into a golden wheat shell with loads of mozzarella, every bite exploded with the evenly proportioned taste of onions, green peppers, tomatoes and banana peppers. It couldn't of been any better. All my favorites stuffed into a Vegetable Medley Explosion.

This second zone carried itself well, having a lot to live up to after last week's Pepper Feta Mozzarella Fetish. Stay tuned as this week we move on with rumors of a possible olive invasion. Ew?
