My Dad Invented Pizza Therapy

Image
Albert Grande, The Mushroom King and Master Pizzaiolo My Dad Albert Grande , knew Italian food and Italian recipes. There was one thing he made better than anything else: pizza. When I was a teenager, my dad would bring home dough from a bakery, spread it out on a cookie sheet, smoosh on some stewed tomatoes along with garlic, cheese, basil, oregano and pepperoni. He would pop it in the oven and about 20 minutes later the best pizza in the world would come out. He sometimes made it when my friends were over and developed a reputation for making great pizza. My friends would ask for it regularly and my dad was more than happy to oblige. I soon realized that although the pizza was wonderful, it wasn't the pizza alone that brought my friends over. The pizza really became the basis for discussions about philosophy, values, and life in general. The event was a stepping stone for an evening of jokes and arguments about what was important in our lives. I started making pizza from scratch ...

Pasta Sauce, Spaghetti Sauce and Gravy...

I can't tell you how many arguments we had around the kitchen table about spaghetti sauce. Is it called sauce or is it called gravy? Any way you slice it, it's all the same thing. I watched my two Italian grandmothers make sauce (gravy) a number of times. (Grandma Grande and Grandma Palmieri were both born in Italy and raised their familes in Providence Rhode Island)) I listed down the ingredients and then I asked them: how much of this ingredient or that ingrient do you use? They both said the same thing: a little bit of this and a little bit of that... After making gravy (sauce) for over 60 years, they really didn't know how much of any ingredient they put it... I also watched my mom make her sauce. Sometimes she used whole tomatoes, sometimes she used tomato puree. Here is my take on how to make red sauce: Enjoy... albert Discover how to make pizza, pizza dough and much more Learn to make pasta, eat pasta, love pasta...

pizza.com = $2.6 Million: Is pizzatherapy.com on the Auction Block?

pizza.com just sold for $2.6 million. The sale of this domain created a buying and feeding frenzy. The sharks are circling in the water, if you know what I mean. It was just announced that therapy.com is now for sale. Who knows what that will bring? Two million? Three million? perhaps more. Think of all the prozac you could sell with that one domain. Staggering. Now I'm not the sharpest knife in the draw, but I just started thinking...What if you could combine these two domains under one banner. I mean you basically just cornered the market with a web empire could potentially be worth billions. A billion here, a billion there, and we're talking some serious KA-CHING.

An Excerpt from A Pizza Demo

When you make pizza, you make magic happen. I have been involved in countless pizza demonstrations for Cub Scouts, Senior citizen groups, life skills classes, high school cooking classes, pre-schools, fund raisers for non-profit groups, friends, relatives, 4 H Clubs, and entire staffs at different schools. Each one has been different. Each one has been memorable. And each one has taught me more about pizza and myself. If you make pizza, you need to share your gift. Here is the start of a pizza demo, I recently participated in for a high school cooking class. pizza on earth, Albert Grande http://pizzatherapy.com/ http://grandepublishing.com/ http://bimwah.net/blog http://hawaiisecret.com/ http://albertgrande.com/memory-loss/ P.S.
