Yes, and it's a happy one in the mmm-yoso household, let me tell you that much. I came home to this:
A really nice V-Day & B-Day gift. Needless to say, I'm thrilled, and even though the Missus has to work tonight, at least this'll keep me busy for a while. Isn't She great!
Where's the food you may ask? Well, I needed something fast and easy, and though we don't eat much pizza, we decided to grab one from the neighborhood pizza joint. In this case it's called Mountain Mike's:
Even though the pizzas are a bit on the pricey side, Mountain Mike's does a decent job, and I think is probably better then many of the other chains. One thing I did notice on this visit; "Mike's" had been cleaned up, with new signage, and the interior had been spruced up. I chatted briefly with one of the Young Men, who I know has been working there for a while. Turns out this location has new Owners, and they've made some improvements on the premises. To show you how often we eat here; the change occurred six months ago. Like I said we don't eat pizza at home much.
As with most chains "Mike's" always has some coupon deal going on. Today was buy 1 medium, get 1 medium, single topping free. As it turns out, the Missus enjoys the pepperoni.
She's also a "cold pizza eater", and Mike's pizzas are pretty good cold.
As for me I always get the "Everest", AKA deluxe pizza, at $16.95, kinda expensive for a medium pie, but a real bargain as we get a pizza free.
One of the reasons that I enjoy this pie, is that the toppings include Linguisa(Portuguese-style sausage), not the Portuguese Sausage I grew up with, tastes more like Chorizo, but still it's fairly close. The crust of the pie is decent, and if not undercooked, a bit crusty, though maybe a bit too "bready". The sauce is slightly tangy, and it;s not overloaded with cheese. It's just a nice neighborhood pizza! And I'm a bit distracted today anyway.
As the commercial goes; "Don't bother me, I'm busy…" I'll try not to get pizza stains on the plasma screen. Oh-oh, some assembly required, this might take a while……..
Happy Valentine's Day, best wishes to You and Your Loved Ones!!!
