December 2007 Carnival Of Pizza

Welcome to the December 10, 2007 edition of Carnival of Pizza. We have an interesting mix of posts this month.

Recipes

Fellow runner Katy presents a delicious-looking recipe called Pizza Margherita posted at sugarlaw.

Other

Jamie presents A Slice of the Best posted at Explorer Pass Blog. Jamie's post gives out some information on a tour of Brooklyn through pizza! Sounds like a great way to see some of New York's best pizzerias.

blue skelton presents It’s Spiderman Pizza Delivery posted at Blue Skelton Publications. I'm not sure when this event actually happened, but apparently it was a promotion with Papa John's to go along with the Blu-ray DVD release of Spiderman 3. Police, fire, and rescue workers from southern California (who recently battled wildfires) received 6000 "Hometown Super Hero" pizzas! Very cool!

Sagar presents Top 50 Vegan and Vegetarian Restaurants in the World posted at Travelhacker. I expect at least many of the vegetarian places serve pizza. Four of the top 50 write-ups specifically mention pizza, including 2 of 10 in North America.

November 2007 Carnival Of Pizza

Welcome to the November 1, 2007 edition of carnival of pizza. We're back on schedule this month, with some very nice posts.

Recipes

Starting off this week is a combination of Italian and Chinese. Chef Tom presents Pizza Egg Rolls posted at Chef Tom Cooks - Recipe Blog.

College

Ted Reimers writes about the famous Freshman 15 posted at CampusGrotto, saying, "Pizza is a main cause to the "Freshman 15"."

I was a varsity athlete in college, running 70 miles each week, but I certainly observed this phenomenon in many of my classmates.

Government

With elections coming up next week, what better time for the first carnival entry that combines pizza and politics?

Check out Why Your Pizza is Topped with Political Controversy posted at Limited Edition Foods for a very educational post. The author Margie adds, "Two pizzas from the same source and they are governed by two different federal agencies ... pizza provides the best example of how the federal government's approach to food regulation needs to be streamlined."

Contests

This one has nothing to do with pizza but in case we have any aspiring authors reading the site, I decided to include it nonetheless. Michael@TSM presents Fall TSM Travel Writing Contest: Win $125! posted at Traveling Stories Magazine.

October 2007 Carnival Of Pizza

Welcome to the October 8, 2007 edition of carnival of pizza. We're a few days late (again) this month. Between soccer and delivering pizza, I totally forgot about the carnival.

We do have some great submissions this month though, so without further ado, here they are!

Recipes

Annette Berlin presents Flat Bread Pizza posted at Frugal Journey. Annette describer her post like this: "Flat Bread Pizza is based on a recipe I saw in an old copy of Martha Stewart Living. The original recipe required a homemade dough, which I replaced with the flat bread." Who can argue with Martha Stewart?

Dani presents Barbecue Chicken Pizza posted at Catch the Spoon. I love barbecue chicken pizza.

Reviews

Jeremy Hobbs presents Freschetta Brick Oven posted at Jeremy's Consumer's Corner. Jeremy has a well written review of this frozen pizza.

Alcohol

I don't usually have a entire section devoted to booze, but since it's October, we'll just blame this one on the Germans and call it Octoberfest. At least the 2nd entry there mentions pizza in the poem.

The Free Geek presents Broke? Alcoholic? How to Drink on a Dime: 10 Surefire Tips posted at Free Geekery.

200motels presents O BEER-O MIO! A Love Poem to Beer posted at 200motels.net.

September Carnival Of Pizza

Welcome to the September 7, 2007 edition of carnival of pizza. Yes I realize that today is September 10. I'd rather be late with the carnival than late with your dinner!

This month is another carnival with just a handful of posts. That should make it easier for my devoted readers to check them all out! Thanks to the bloggers who submitted their posts, and please don't be shy.

Neither of these posts are 100% about pizza, but (as usual) the writers were able to justify it enough that I decided to include them.

Fall in the midwest means football. Friday nights may be a little slower between 7-10 as many people are at the high school games, but when people settle down on Saturday and Sunday to watch their favorite college and NFL teams, phones will be ringing at pizzerias everywhere.

Of course, football is just a small part of college life. Studying is always important, and Sagar Satapathy presents 20 Foods that will Increase your Studying Effectiveness posted at Online University Lowdown.

Next, Michael Chu presents 50% Discount on Pizza posted at Make Money Online with Knighty Night's Talk, saying, "If you like pizza you get them 50% off at Pizza Hut, Dominos, Papa Johns, etc. You also get to make some extra money to if you want."

I've browsed Michael's site for a bit and I think he's referring people to sign up for an online coupon service. And since some of the coupons might be for pizza, he thinks I should include him in my carnival. And guess what, I did!

That concludes this edition. Submit your blog article to the next edition of carnival of pizza using our carnival submission form. Past posts and future hosts can be found on our blog carnival index page.

August Carnival Of Pizza

Welcome to the August 3, 2007 edition of carnival of pizza. What this month's carnival lacks in quantity, it makes up for in quality. I think these are 3 of the best submissions we've had yet!

Joy Guerrero presents Food journal number 14: Pizza posted at home and away. Joy educates us about pizza in Sweden. There's a continuation article in Swedish pizza salad.

Recipes

Living Without Meat presents Mom’s Making Pizza and Everyone’s Invited posted at Living Without Meat. This is interesting, as my wife has recently stopped eating meat.

Stories

Ant presents Porno Pizza posted at The Beef Jerky Blog, a story I wrote briefly about a couple weeks ago.

June Carnival Of Pizza

Welcome to the June 1, 2007 edition of carnival of pizza. This is one of my favorite carnivals yet, with some fantastic recipes, a pizza review, and a very funny story.

Recipes

Carolyn presents Recipe for Pizza posted at Juggling Frogs, a recipe that uses dough from a bread machine.

Amanda Rose presents A Healthy Pizza? posted at Rebuild from Depression Blog. This is a "pizza makeover" using ingredients that are high in depression-fighting nutrients. It's a "depression buster pizza."

Now I always thought any pizza cheers people up, but this one must be something special!

cookingfor5 presents Breakfast Pizza posted at Simply Cooking. Another interesting recipe. This has to compete with "cold pizza" as a breakfast favorite.

Reviews

Jeremy Hobbs presents Jeremy's Consumer's Corner: Red Baron Pizzeria Style Frozen Pizzas posted at Jeremy's Consumer's Corner. Jeremy helps you choose your frozen pizza.

Stories

cookingfor5 presents Is Our Pizza Ready? posted at Simply Cooking, a hilarious story about picking up pizza.

Innaugural Carnival Of Pizza

Welcome to the April 6, 2007 edition of carnival of pizza. This is the first ever carnival of pizza, but judging by the number and quality of entries, it sure won't be the last! We are going to attempt to publish this on the first Friday of every month.

Reviews

First off, The Travelin' Man tells the story of A Day In the Shadows of the Brooklyn Bridge posted at STuff You Oughta Know. This post includes a review of Grimaldi's Pizzeria, which he calls "the BEST pizza, in a pizza-lovin' town."

Next, Steve Madsen reviews Seattle's Serious Pie posted at South Bank Projects, saying, "A serious pizza place for urban professionals." I'm not sure serious and pizza belong in the same sentence, but this place sounds interesting. If I ever find myself in the Pacific Northwest, I'm definitely eating here!

KevinL presents Friday Pizza Review - Marco's posted at Family Of Nine, saying, "a simple family-review of dinner from this pizza chain." Yes, that's me, but it's from another blog so I decided to include it here.

Finally, just sneaking in under the deadline, is Jon. Now That’s a JUMBO Slice of Pizza!! describes getting a slice at Pizza Mart. Jon posts at The DC Traveler.

Saving Money

In a category all his own, savingadvice gives us Easy Ways To Save On Pizza posted at Personal Finance Advice. There is lots of good advice here. As a delivery driver, I shouldn't really support the "Pick-up" or "Homemade" selections, but if you don't have the $ to tip the driver, please choose one of these options.

Top 10 Lists

Ted Reimers has a list, the Top 10 Cheap Foods/Drinks for the College Student posted at CampusGrotto. Ted says, "Pizza is part of the typical college diet." It sure was for me! We had a Little Caesars less than a mile away. Pizza! Pizza!

Sagar Satapathy lists the Top 10 Most Expensive Restaurants in the World posted at Credit Card Lowdown. I'm not sure which of those restaurants serve pizza, but it's an interesting list, so we'll include it in our carnival. Not many college students dining at any of those spots, that's for sure.

Recipes

Stephanie presents My New Stand By Meal - Pizza posted at Stop the Ride!. Stephanie describes the benefits of "quick and easy" meals and includes her favorite pizza recipe. Sounds like a good idea for busy moms!

Michelle Mitchell gives us a recipe for Pesto-Cheese Pizza posted at scribbit. A Blog About Motherhood in Alaska. Michelle provides us with a recipe for "Mrs. Green Cheese Pizza." It looks delicious!

Do you want to make your own pizza sauce? muse presents No pot tomato sauce! posted at me-ander. In this recipe, Muse explains how to make tomato sauce in the microwave. Sounds like a good time-saver!

Do you want your pizza to be more healthy? Andrea shares the recipe for Organic Pizza posted at Buy Organic. If you want organic pizza, you better know how to make it yourself because I doubt your local pizzeria has this recipe!

And after you're done eating, what should you do with the leftovers? Jane Maynard explains in This Week for Dinner: Leftover Pizza posted at This Week for Dinner..., saying, "Whenever you have pizza, store-bought or homemade, you inevitably have leftovers that never taste as good. Find out how to reheat your leftover pizza so it tastes like it just came out of the oven! It will change your life!"

Delivery Stories

D tells of the dreaded Keep-the-Changers posted at Stop the Ride!. D is a fellow delivery driver just trying to make (at least) a buck!

And finally I've included my favorite story from my own blog, The Journey Of A Quarter.
