This past Saturday Justin and I offered our house up to our friend, and my brother's girlfriend, Agata for a day of Italian fun. She is from Sicily and has been living in the US for just over a year now. It is always a lot of fun to get together and hear all her stories of home. Since all of our gatherings typically revolve around American fare we thought it would be fun to have one dedicated to Agata and her Italian roots. 
The pizza process started early Saturday. First we had to make the dough so that it had time to rise..
While we waited Kurt handled the Parmesan...we needed quite a bit since there were going to be six pizzas in our future. 
When the dough was finally ready we all had a chance to get involved with making the crust. We made it into a little competition and I have to say that mine was definitely the best.
Once the crusts where ready we loaded on the toppings. 
At first I was a little worried that I might have bitten off more than I could chew since her chosen toppings included anchovies, artichokes, and potatoes. Let's just say not my favorite ingredients. However, after a brief 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1, I reminded myself that it is a new year and I am going to be more open minded. Good thing cause the pizzas were delicious!!
Potato & onion, ham & artichoke, and tomato & anchovy. They were all spectacular even though I have to admit I picked off the anchovies. Open mindedness has it limitations. He he.
We finished off the evening burning calories to hit songs like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun and I Like to Move It Move It (our lives are consumed by the Wii these days).
All in all it was a wonderful day and one we will talk about for quite a while. Thanks everyone for joining in the fun and helping to eat all the pizza. Now lets start the badgering for lasagna.
Grazie Agata!
