Spoiled Rotten (teeth)

Happy Easter Everyone!

I think we stopped making Easter a big deal when I was like 9 years old. I didn't stop getting Easter baskets tho! I made out big today:

I have the best people in my life! Especially since they all know how much I hate chocolate and love love love Skittles and SweetTarts. Well, I shouldn't say hate chocolate. I don't particularly care for it. Sometimes I'll crave peanut M&M's or Snickers. But it's rare.
I was in Jersey today in some country town. No traffic going and barely any on the way back. There's nothing like spending time with family and friends. It always makes me super happy!
Hope you had a good one and remember, brush brush brush all that sugar away! :)

...Burn The Roof Down

Hay!

So, PePe's Pizzeria was so on point last night. Lianna couldn't make it to dinner so my BFF LP came instead. Always great to hang with LP. She's one of the nicest people I've ever met. Plus for some reason all we do is laugh when we're together. That's what it's all about!
Here is their menu:

It wasn't very crowded last night which was great. We ordered a salad to start, which was amazing. Garden greens, cucumbers and parmesan cheese is all I wanted. I don't eat olives and I hate raw tomatoes. The dressing was some kinda balsamic, later on we found out it was actually by the brand Ken's®.

I'm not that wild with toppings and neither is LP. Like I mentioned in my previous post I had their famous white clam pizza but it was too salty and LP wasn't down for clams anyways LOL. So, we agreed on the tomato pie w/ mozzarella, sausage and pepperoni.

Heaven! I was so amped that I grabbed a slice as soon as it hit the table, burned the roof of my mouth and kept on going! I was going in like a champ. I love how the cutting of the slices makes no sense. Whacky, just like us.
This is by far the best pizza place in Westchester, well, in my opinion. I'm excited to try their fresh tomato pie which is only available in the summer.

On the way out I asked the manager if I could take a picture of the kitchen,  he said yes and then did me one better. He asked if I wanted a close up of their oven. I got all giddy, LP was in hysterics, I was behaving like I just won the lotto. Listen...cool things like this never happen to me. So, I said "YES!"....more laughter from LP. Here is what they are cooking with:

If you aren't in the Yonkers area they also have 3 locations in Connecticut! I swear you'll love it. After all, pizza is my fav! ;)

That's how I felt after I ate. LOL -Skandies

....And So This Begins

I took like a 10 year hiatus from blogging. Back before "blogging" was even a word. I figured I'd give it a try again. Hopefully people will just stumble upon this blog. Speaking of, have you checked out http://www.stumbleupon.com/ ? Dude! It's crazy addicting. Thank you Hanna LOL.

Hmmm, not too sure what direction this blog is gonna go. I'll probably talk about random stuff because I'm a Libra and can't ever seem to make up my mind. I think it will lean a lot towards foods, festivals and friends.

Currently I'm waiting at the library to get my taxes done, for FREE! Yep, I wait every year to the last minute to get them done. There is this sweet old lady sitting next to me going on and on about underground parking garages and how they scare her. Ha!

Later on tonight I'm meeting up with my girl Lianna who I haven't seen in like 2 years, omg, for dinner. I'm hoping we can get a table at PePe's. I've been craving fresh real pizza for days. Not that I eat Pizza Hut or Dominos *cringe* but this place is just extra fresh! When I lived in Queens there was a place called Margerita's on Jamaica Ave. You never saw pizza sitting on the shelf because the slices would sell immediately right out of the oven. I used to be a HUGE pizza fan. I judge pizza on the way the sauce tastes, that's first. Then the crust. I'm not into thick crust or extra thin crust. The cheese also can't be salty. For your first visit to any pizza shop you should always get a "plain slice" first, that way you can taste all the elements involved. Then you can go crazy after that!
So back to PePe's Pizzeria. The 1st time I went I was dying to try the famous white clam pizza. It was good, just a bit too salty for me. We also got a pepperoni/sausage mixture. This summer I'm amped to try their tomato pie! So yum! Here is a pic of the white clam pizza:

That crust is perfect! The pies here are huge so come hungry or get pumped for leftovers!
When people ask me what my favorite food is I always say Italian because when I used to say pizza I'd get the eye roll. Well, I'm back to rep'n for pizza. <cheese>

I try to go out to dinner at least once a week. It helps clear my mind. And when the food is great, I'm an extra happy camper. I work many many hours a week so for those 2 hours I get to spend with great people I'm forever grateful!

Thanks for taking the time to read my new blog LOL, I think I'll always close with a pic of the love of my life! -Skandies
