Special Mom’s blog

The week ending has been one of the best in my life. My younger one’s High School Graduation was on Thursday. A lifelong moment to cherish. Except for that day I wrote blog everyday this week . Thank you so much WordPress and my fellow bloggers for providing with the prompts and challenges.

Even though my brother was busy with his work, he and his family made a flying visit to be there for my kid’s Graduation. Last time when my brother came, I suggested him an Indian Restaurant which he hated. I did not know he regularly rates restaurants on google and he gave a bad review for that one online. So for Graduation lunch I decided we should try something different and he asked if there was any brick oven pizza places. So that is were we went for our treat.

We are vegetarians. My husband is too picky about his food, even Indian food. Seven people at the table, with different taste buds we did order a variety and here are the pictures and the descriptions.

My younger one, being a crazy health conscious kid ordered the salad. I think, that was one of the best salad we had ever tasted. Eggplant Marino and Garlic knots were the other two starters. I did not take a proper picture since people were busy eating before I could take my camera out (or phone)!

We stumbled onto Caprese pizza a long time back since it was vegetarian. It took us a while to realize why we loved it. The pizza with no sauce has basil on top and we Indians love the smell of basil. Indian basil is looks completely different but the smell is so similar. We do not use it in our cooking but we grow in our gardens. Full of cheese, my niece said, she would like something with sauce in it.

The next pizza was a build your own pizza (of course with the sauce). The toppings being hot pepper, tomatoes and onion. On a scale from one to ten, I would give the spice level of the hot pepper to be just a three. I think it was burnt a bit and lost it’s spice but the flavor and taste remained. We did add crushed red pepper to this pizza. I would say, we are so used to spicy food and an Indian taste, we try to customize the food to our taste buds even without us realizing that.

My husband hates spicy food, (he has a sweet tooth) so the other one was with tomatoes, sweet peppers and olives. The olives were a bit burnt but other than that the pizza was delicious.

We did finish off the lunch with Tiramisu and cheesecake. Even my special one was so full for a desert but we all did have a piece since it was a joyous occasion.

Okay, so what did my brother say about the food. He and his family loved the lunch. I am finally happy that I took his family out to a place that satisfied all our taste buds and got my brother’s thumbs up. I am now eagerly waiting for the review he is going to give on google for Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.
