I just stumbled across your blog in a bored haze of link-clicking, and I was struck with a rare desire to comment.

I find you extremely likable. That’s pretty much all I had to say. You make me feel like buying a better camera and being more disciplined in the baking/blogging/going after dreams side of my life.

(For the record, I’m not hitting on you. This is just what good, funny writing and delicious-looking baked goods do to me. I get all warm and fuzzy inside.)

Your blog makes me smile every time I read it, especially this post. We make pizza every Friday night — my husband makes the dough (the only time he touches the kitchen aid), and I assemble the pizzas. Our favorite is fresh mozzarella, crisped pepperoni added during the last minute, pesto and banana peppers. Your post helped me to remember how fortunate I am to be able to make pizza with my fabulous husband tonight.

I hope your partner knows how lucky he is to be with such a talented and hip person such as yourself.

Well, I can’t relate to the on-line dating, but I am really happy for you finding someone to share with. Not too much is better than homemade pizza. I make it pretty much every Friday night. I don’t usually make a salad and cookies too. Although it sounds wonderful, I get full on 2 pieces of pizza!

Joy -
This weekend my kids were home (all grownups) and I made your entire weekend meal! What a hit! We have made the Brownie cookies twice and I even found the cute little chocolate covered sunflower seeds. I have been using Deb’s pizza dough for a while now and it never fails to be a huge success. Making Caeser dressing was a first for me and everyone loved it.
I love your blog. Thanks for sharing.

What’s great is that the wine and kitten videos stick around through the relationship. Because if my guy was going to take that away, it’d be sad. Enjoy your cookies and Star Troopers.

I just found your blog and thought I’d glance through. I was still with you all the way down to the bottom of the page, giggling and smiling. All that humor sure makes the food taste great. Not sure where I start with the recipes – cookies, salad – pizza? Choices, choices. I’ll just have to try them all.

It’s been decades since I dated (and awkwardly, when I did), but seeing the experience through your eyes made me smile. I really, really liked the insight. “Hey! You’re cool. I’m cool. Let’s get to know each other. ” That really says it all, doesn’t it?

Thanks for sharing the image.

Hi Joy, I loved your post. It reminded me of my 20’s. Your bf is very lucky indeed! Your recipes and writing style are fantastic. Have you thought about writing a cook book?
