But there is one pizza that he really craves and for whatever reason, we just can’t find it around here. Philly Cheesesteak. Not just any Philly Cheesesteak Pizza (of course, because nothing’s ever easy), it has to be this certain pizza with a blue cheese dressing sauce and layers of steak, red onions, and cheese. You can only hear about these lamenting so many times before you just cave in and agree to make it!
So there I was on Friday, thinly slicing steak and John was next to me shredding cheeses. And I realized that one of the most fun parts about both of us living here is that we really do enjoy ourselves – we have fun just about anywhere but where we connect most of all is in the kitchen (no surprise). Best of all, we sat down to ate the pizza and John proclaimed it almost “spot-on” to the original.
