No, really. This was cute.

It was pizza night at the Judges, and I had a mental block towards making pizza sauce, and was hoarding my frozen pesto in the freezer. We picked the large leaves off our windowsill basil pot and topped it with our precious tomato from a local greenhouse and copious amounts of feta. It was fresh and delicious. Eric and I ate the whole thing ourselves. [Remember, these are 8-10 inch pizzas, so I don't feel so guilty]
Forgive the lack of natural light...






We also have a huge, gorgeous head of red leaf lettuce from the valley.



The kids ate BBQ chicken pizza, and the rest of the chicken spinach ranch is sitting on the stove. But the whole reason I'm even blogging about this is this one:



This is olive oil, yellowfin tuna from a can, mozzarella and capers. With lots of cracked pepper on top. It's best described as...tangy. I don't know that I would make it again. Our family just doesn't like capers, I think.
Jonas was really hungry, and couldn't wait for chicken and spinach, so he said yes to the tuna pizza. He took one bite, and his face crinkled up.

"It has pickles on it" he said.

He proceeded to pick them off, one at a time.
There were a lot of capers on the pizza.
Mary Lynn, if you read this, the capers are all yours. Come get them.

Jonas was really cute though.

Jonas is really cute. I like capers. The other day I heated up some Pad Thai (without capers, of course) and ds screamed, "I cannot smell those pickles! GROSS!" LOL

Never have liked capers.

Your garden looks wonderful!  Congratulations, especially given the very sullen and uncooperative weather you have coped with this summer.  Summer?  I think you got ripped off!  Our potato plants are starting to look unhappy, so maybe the totes won't turn out to be such a geat idea after all.  But maybe they just need a good shot of (organic) fertilizer.  We'll try that before we take more drastic measures.  we keep forgetting to plant carrots and beets!  It's awfully hot these days, so we have moved our focus to inside projects except for watering and a little weeding.  Speaking of weeding, have you tried smothering your weedy areas with wet newspaper, then covering it with a mulch?  Works a dream here.

Wish we could have yummy dinners together.  But no capers.
