We’re at a friend’s house. He just got a new oven for his wife as a gift. His wife’s a good cook. We like going to their place because there’s always good food waiting for us. When he was doing the invite, he asked us what food we wanted to eat, we told him we should bless the oven with something good. He said why not pizza? Finally, we’re talking the same language here. He’s a fan of pizza too and his wife’s good at creating great made from scratch pizzas.
I brought wine. I didn’t know what else to bring, the rest of our friends had chips, dips, and more booze. Linda, his wife’s name was already busy at the kitchen. I’m seeing my favorite toppings, fresh basil, mozzarella and tomatoes. I really wanted her to do fresh tomato sauce, because I really miss the tanginess of the fresh tomatoes on my pizza. On the table too were fresh cherry tomatoes, in my mind I know this pizza will be the bomb.
A pizza margherita is just so simple to make. But I always say that if you don’t use the freshest ingredients then there’s no point in making one. She slightly roasted her tomatoes. I was actually watching her cook instead of joining in on the fun. They started drinking already, by the time food’s serve, half of them will be drunk.
She then mashed them with minced garlic and EVOO (extra virgin olive oil). Linda’s not a trained cook, but in my book, she makes cooking look so easy. She said her pizza dough’s already done. She did it ahead of time. It took her only a few minutes to assemble the whole thing. She made 2 pizzas, but same toppings.
Aside from the pizzas, she even whipped up spaghetti in Bolognese sauce and her signature tiramisu cake. I seriously love this lady more than my co-worker. She knows how to feed us. I felt bad not leaving anything behind for our other guests, but I think I ate at least 4 slices of the pizza.

wow what a great gift!would definitely like to have a pizza oven like that. all i have is a pizza stone that i used when cooking pizza, and place it inside my oven. i have been cooking pizza margherita several times already and i must say it has simple ingredients but one of the best tasting pizza.
