A few crunchy bits

I don't know if other bloggers have this problem, but my biggest issue with starting a new post is always "What do I put in the title?"

I could go the route of the numbered posts, but then noone can tell when I have updated, so I decided to use random phrases that may have something to do with the content, or not.

Anyway, just a few things I wanted to mention.
***
I was talking to a friend in the train yesterday, we were discussing, among other mindless topics, the need to er.. flatulate. Did you ever realise that the person who lets one rip is always the one who either 1) pretends never to notice or 2) is the first one to notice and mention it while holding his nose?

Yes, test it, by all means.

Pizza is almost staple food in my family now, since we have many "noone wants to cook, but we are all hungry" days. There are several that we like.

New York Pizza - This is a little joint that only has 3 locations. Harbourfront, Tampnes and Khatib. They served those razor thin and crispy pizzas with a biscuit like crust, and 1 foot long slices. The toppings are your usual stuff, but the sauces they use are awesome. Stay away from the Brooklyn if you can't handle spicy. This was lethal.

Canadian Pizza is good value for money - $22 for 2 largish pizzas. They have a good amount of ingredients, and good balance, which we like. The other thing we like is, the pizzas always arrive piping hot. I am not sure if that's just good service, or Otrie has made enough of a fuss about it often enough, but either way, we enjoy the warmth.

Pasta Mania - This home grown company, I am glad to say, understands tha concept of pizza. Its doesn't try to stuff 4 kinds of cheese in the crust, or make you pay stupid amount of money for a good meal. Try their Calzones. They are freshly made and chockful of goodness.

I hate Pizza Hut. They are overpriced, their crusts are so thick, they absorb all the flavour and more than half the pizza ends up just being a ball of dough in your belly. The cheese overload is ridiculous, and we have never gotten a pizza from them that was more than lukewarm. Pizza Hut ought to rethink their food quality and pricing strategy.

Postscript: Geet has very helpfully recommended Sarpino's, which while looks very respectable, is not available via delivery or accessibity in my part of the country. But the rest of you guys, enjoy. Or open a franchise in the north or something.
