When I was going to school, one of the best pizza places in town was right across the street from office where I worked for my campus job. I ate there nearly every day. Later on, I lived right next door to it. I'll tell you what — I'd take a pepperoni and pineapple over a bowl of beans any day!

Reading does a body good
Our kids were always super excited for the summer reading program at our local library. They offered weekly prizes, and culminated with the coveted free pizza coupons for participants.
I don't remember what grade or feedback I got on my Alma report, but I wish I had kept it. Dang.

Well, that doesn't stink!
One of our local pizza places has garlic knots that are potent enough to keep vampires at bay for weeks!

An eye-opening experience for the mouth
The language often surprises them, too. Especially when they realize the people in country are saying the exact thing they studied in class! It’s like they discover that they’re in on a secret code!

That's to go, please
This cartoon brings up so many questions for me! Wouldn't it make sense to have a food cart out in the wilderness, since John was bringing in crowds of people?
Do you think that locusts and honey would be a sweet/savory combination, like perhaps pepperoni and pineapple?
Doesn't pizza make sense? The Romans probably brought some of their cuisine with them, right?
Where did the pizza guy get that hat? The color scheme is vaguely reminiscent of Burger King's uniform in days gone by.

Worlds without end
This reminds me of something we did during the pandemic shutdown. We did our best to support local businesses, particularly our favorite restaurants.
One night, we decided to have pizza for dinner. We like to spread our business around, so rather than order everything from one pizza place, we ordered wings from one, bread, salad and dessert from another, and the actual pizzas from a third.
All the delivery people showed up at about the same time, passing each other in the cul-de-sac or in the driveway. There were some confused looks — and we had a great dinner with our favorites from each restaurant!

Get it to go
Meanwhile, our missionaries are pretty much confined to quarters: no in-home teaching, no street contacting. They're supposed to get outside for at least an hour each day for exercise and exposure to sunlight. I really hope they get along with their companions!
They've found some creative ways to teach: delivering messages in-home via technology, live streaming lessons, and doing whatever they can given their protective restrictions. Keep your local missionaries in your prayers!

The year in review: Top Ten, part I
Not all of the favorites were fun ones, but I had to pay respects to one of my childhood heroes.
