yes, you may

I could be wrong, but it feels like it has rained every Friday for the past month. Yesterday's rain continued through the night, often pouring so hard it woke me up, and it continued raining throughout this morning. Our plans to go out were scrapped because we didn't feel like getting soaked, so we spent most of the day inside, safe and dry.

As we had nothing to eat, we ordered a pizza for lunch. As there was a kick-ass sale and Mako foolishly let ME do the ordering, we ended up with two pizzas for lunch. Behold, our glorious repast!

The pie on the left is probably the crazier one. It's topped with mentaiko (a spicy fish roe that is really popular in Japan), mayonnaise, potato, chicken, and cheese. The one on the right, despite the WTF? soft-boiled eggs, is otherwise a pretty standard bacon, cheese, and tomato sauce pie. My delicious Frank's Red Hot sauce, which I find makes pizza just taste better, suited the one on the right more than the left. Since the mentaiko flavor is already so strong, I couldn't really taste the Frank's at all.

I can assure you that both pizzas were really, really tasty and while I will always love American pizza, the Japanese variety is consistently satisfying whenever we order it. I wonder when some enterprising foodie will attempt to re-import Japanese piza to America? I've seen some truly disgusting pies at Pizza Hut during their lunch buffet, surely "fish roe and mayo" wouldn't rock the boat much?
