Last Thursday, Blackice brought me the pizzas from Ottawa. (Thanks! :D) Originally, we wanted to get the “Duck confit with pears, spinach and goat’s cheese” and the “Stilton, fig, caramelized red onion and rosemary”. Maybe it was because of the long weekend, a lot of the pizzas were sold out but luckily he managed to get two. Yay! So I shared them with some friends on last Saturday night. (Good food are to be shared!)
I took a few pictures of the frozen versions so that you can compare and contrast before and after.
The one on the right is Wild mushroom pizza with chevre & cranberries, and the one one the left is Strawberry (Yes! It’s strawberry), gorgonzola and pancetta. I couldn’t wait til Saturday to come. Actually Blackice even said I could cook it right away on Thursday night for late night snack! (Wow! I think if I’d gain 1 lb just from that.)

Saturday night. When I took out the two pizzas, we were kinda excited about how they would taste like, especially the strawberry one. We baked the wild mushroom one first.
The wild mushroom pizza was really good! The funny thing was that there were some black fungus (木耳) which we usually used in Chinese dishes + the cranberries looks like red dates from far away. Everything together looks like a Chinese pizza. The taste? It was REALLY good! I would say it was a good combination of all ingredients. By the way, I was using the new camera… so please pardon my “focus” – I’m still practising. -_-
The strawberry one was pretty good too! But somehow the taste reminds me of a kind of Chinese preserved ham (金華火腿). I could hardly taste the strawberry because of the bacon and the strong taste of gorgonzola. I like both pizzas, but if I had to choose, I like the first one better.
It was a pot luck night. Everyone brought in some food. I have never done so much pot luck before. My friend was saying… does that mean that we’re getting old? Maybe…
Good friends, Pot luck, Wii, TW Mahjong… priceless.
Again, thanks Blackice.

Rick, yup! I got a new camera, but I still like the FX-01 coz it’s a really good snapshot camera. This one is Nikon D80. I hope I can practice and get the most out of it soon!
