For Christmas this year, Daniel bought Marta a necklace. Here’s the problem, she’s upset because after he gave it to her, he told her “this is your Christmas, birthday, and Valentine’s Day gift”. She thinks it’s nonsense that since her birthday is at the end of January that she has to get these merged gifts, especially for something she didn’t ask for! He says it cost $500!

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Customers Rally To Save Family’s Stolen Pizza Truck

TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Customers Rally To Save Family’s Stolen Pizza Truck

With today (2/9) being National Pizza Day I figured I would make today’s story pizza related.

This couple down in Tampa, FL run their own mobile pizza kitchen and almost had to shut down after someone stole their pizza truck back in November. Can you believe that?! I’m sure they were already struggling from a business standpoint because of the pandemic and now someone steals their whole operation right out from under them. Awful. Luckily their loyal customers came to the rescue and raised over $11,000 online to help buy them a new truck.

You’ve got to love pizza people. Always looking out for one another.

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do pizza chef’s toss the dough in the air?

MUNDANE MYSTERIES: Why do pizza chef’s toss the dough in the air?

Today (2/9) is National Pizza Day! If you know me at all you know as a lover of all things pizza that I’m very excited about this. Today’s mystery is about the actual making of a pizza. Why do the pizza chef’s always toss the dough up in the air?

Despite what you might think it’s not just for show. Even though it does look pretty cool when they do it. It’s actually the best way to evenly spread out the dough before you make the pizza. It creates a uniform crust and also helps the dough retain moisture.

While it is a practical technique to making the pizza, it is also still celebrated. Dough-spinning has its own professional event where all different teams of pizza lovers compete in acrobatic dough-spinning competitions every year at the World Pizza Championships. How fun is that?!
