If you’ve frequented my blog for any length of time you know that I love Lou Malnotti’s pizza. I grew up on Chicago-style deep-dish pizza. Nothing compares!

Let me just say it like it is: if you haven’t had Malnotti’s pizza you’re not ready to die yet. The only consolation is that I’m pretty sure it’ll be on the menu at the Marriage Supper of the Lamb along with Ruth’s Chris and Carson’s ribs.

Anywho.

Someone anonymously sent me two pizzas yesterday and an Eli’s cheesecake. I immediately popped one in our coffeehouse oven. And I ate it while listening to an 80′s classic–Heaven is a Place on Earth by Brenda Carlisle. The song just seemed to fit my mood.

By the way, if you just happen to be looking for a gift for me (or some other person you love very much) here is an invaluable link: the tastes of chicago.
