good - one fewer guest to host. I invited my mother and her granddaughter and my mom declined on Saturday. Two fewer guests makes life easier.

It was a bit of a surprise but I had to inquire after about two minutes when she didn't walk in and immediately plop down on the couch lengthwise and plug in her phone or walk to the front to put her wine in.

Wow, that's a lot of desserts.

Yes! I learned of it yesterday. Also learned that they have a shop in nyc and at NRT among other places.

bonus - we were allowed to take it home with us, perhaps because we were final to exit and the hosts aren’t into that type of chocolate nor chocolates that require refrigeration. I can share the matcha with my bestie.

there were 19 of us - very nice and very festive! I happily helped set up tables and later put away chairs. Very fun.
the lack of communication definitely says what you already know. I’m aware you’re doing this more for your parents than anybody else. You’re a very good person.

Sorry for the crappy light. Pizza at Joia in Chamonix.

Too many toppings. The ndjua pizza in the background was a better ratio of toppings to crust.

The finest hotel Cobb salad I've had today. Simple, harmless, unlikely to cause cramps.

They were all there in the back side and partly hidden. Plenty of each actually.

Perhaps you should change your FT username to PizzaEnthusiast. :D :tu:

Edit: I just noticed that your profile includes the following:

So I apologize for being presumptuous. :o

Thanks guys/gals for these great posts, especially ElevatorEnthusiast for almost all the pizzas, so that when we're on the road and just want a ****** pizza we can have something good. Ever since my time in Napoli I am much snobbier(?) about pizza, although 50 days of mortadella (give or take) is a bit much :p Also gaobest for your regular posting.
Happy New Year! Btw I had Gochujang fried rice/egg/Arabiki sausage, then some chicken thingy from our friends at HA today.

gaobest Dec 29, 2024 1:02 am

Ngl Italy pizza is fabulous. I’m still pretty open about pizza - I first went to Italy after I was 21 so a lot of my USA pizza love also ties to my younger years of loving pizza. I’ve loved pizza in USA since I was single digits.

I must admit that I am a bit tired of the mortadella, as well.

Because I'm not in Argentina? Besides, on a typical trip there, I maybe have steak or similar once.

That doesn't look nearly as loaded as your usual pastrami pizzas. Downright skimpy, I'd say. :D

Ya know...I thought the same thing. Positively naked. I better start opening the box at the store.

ElevatorEnthusiast Jan 1, 2025 4:14 pm

As everything is closed on New Year’s in Tokyo (well, okay, Shake Shack is closed), I had to eat at the hotel (Grand Hyatt Tokyo) - my overly expensive pizza was okay, but I found a hair in the cheese on one of the pieces and was gifted a free dessert.

Greens on NY are supposed to bring money in the New Year-- I hope it works better for them than it ever has for me.

So are Black Eyed Peas but putting a penny or dime in the pot, but there was NO way I was going to do both greens and peas. 😁
