Yum - this sounds delicious! I can practice making my homemade pizza dough again and use your toppings!
Now that sounds good. I have basil growing on my back deck.
I just wanted to post a beware of a particular Publix store in the Nashville area. I know you frequent a different one but on the chance someone else reads this....
My husband bought some Right Guard Deoderant today. When I was unpacking them I checked the expiration date of the 4: 3 did not have one (which maybe it doesn't anymore but I find that odd) but 1 had black permanent marker crossing out two expiration date locations. I used magic eraser to see the expiration date underneath and it was expired since 2008. Shady Shady!
I have not been fond of this particular Publix lately anyway, but this sealed the deal. I am changing locations, which sucks because while farther away, this was more convenient.
Moral of the story- Check all expiration dates of perishable and NON perishable items! :)
Oh and this pizza sounds tasty!
Liz, thanks for the tip. Which Publix in Nashville was this? I'll be sure to be more diligent in checking expiration dates!
Duh, I thought I wrote Bellevue. Oops. It is the Bellevue Publix. :)
