Family, Friends, and Food. Those are my three favorite ‘F’ words (the good kind, of course). I love my family. I love hanging with my friends. And I love enjoying great food. If I get to combine all three ‘F’ words, you’ll see a very happy Ron.
I guess it’s no surprise to some of you that I’m good friends with the guys over at PizzaHunt.net (become their fan on Facebook). “The guys” are the Brothers Hunt, Uriah and Brandon. They’re originally from Detroit, and now call Austin home. We all share a love of different sorts of pizza, and we’ve basically made ourselves into a small little private pizza tasting club. Every few weeks, we get together at a different pizza joint and chow down on some pie. That’s great, and all, but we really wanted our families to get to know one another. So, for a few months, we’ve been trying to get our clans together at one of our cribs (I’m hip, yo!) to enjoy some homemade pizza, but synchronizing schedules can be tough sometimes…
We were finally able to get the stars aligned and the ducks in a row this past weekend. Friday evening, we all descended upon Uriah’s place like a band of gypsies. We gathered together in the name of Food, Family, and Friends to fire up his Little Black Egg Pizza Oven for the very first time. On the menu were Neapolitan pies made with Caputo 00 flour… the REAL DEAL.
We were mainly concerned about taking pictures of the food, as you can imagine since you know how much we’re into it, so we didn’t take many pictures of anyone. I did get a few shots of my daughter, Emmie, though. She really wanted to help out, and make her own pie. She did a great job, and she’s a chip off the old Italian Block.
Here are a few pictures from that night for you to enjoy…
The very first pie of the night…
It’s gorgeous. ALL the pies were gorgeous.
This one is Pecorino Romano, Texas grown EVOO, and Basil.
Caputo 00 dough… a thing of beauty.
*sigh* I’m in love.
Uriah’s Little Black Egg Pizza Oven, firing away… looking to devour more pies.
Emmie is making her own pie. Ladling on the sauce. Love the shimmer of the sauce. My wife’s camera is SICK.
Emmie “supervised” putting the pie on the LBE and the cooking process. She did great.
That’s how we all looked by the end of the night… pizza drunk. (Don’t tell her I posted this picture – lol)
