cupcakes OR pizza?
Last night I stayed up to listen to the Red Sox game on the radio. It was quite a game. Tampa Bay was slamming Boston 7-zip when the Sox came storming back to win 8-7 and keep their hopes alive.
While I listened I was checking out some books. Nothing too taxing. Cookbooks, actually. I found myself drooling over a couple of new ones.
PIZZA and Other Savory Pies (Fireside) by Brigit Binns contains mouth watering recipes and photos. I got some great ideas for winter pizza pies.
I can’t wait to try out her recipes for Jerk Chicken Pizza, Pizza Rustica, and Egg, Sausage, and Cheese Breakfast Pizzas.
My sweet tooth isn’t very sophisticated but when I do indulge in sweets, I savor them.
I was checking out CUPCAKES - Luscious Bakeshop Favorites from Your Home Kitchen (Fireside) by Shelly Kaldunski. This seems like the perfect time of year to try out some Pumpkin Pecan Cupcakes?
Others that appear rather succulent in their photos are the Chai and Honey Cupcakes, PB&J Cupcakes, and the Christmas Peppermint Cupcakes.
Perhaps I can choke down more than one of these sweeties? That nip in the air might be from my sweet tooth…in the meantime, sling me over another slice of that hot pizza pie….mmmmm…….winter….he come soon!

Ah, the memories. Pizza by the slice in Boston. I remember it well. Hmmm, BoSox Pizza? Well, first of all it must be served steaming hot like that 2 out, 7th inning rally the other night. As for toppings? Lots of garlic. This is Boston, you know. And lots of sausage. Peppers. Olives. Lots of extra cheese. Is there a Yankee pizza? Probably not. This year they played like cupcakes.By Mark from St Paul

OK, the political posts are one thing, but stretching a book on pizza until it rationalizes a post on baseball’s most overrated team is a bit much. Hmm, what kind of toppings would go best on a BoSox pizza? Anchovies, fershure. Onions would be appropriate and definitely some extra cheese. Olives and bell peppers in honor of the Green Monster, and lots of baloney.
