I have made it using Foccaccia. It's really good. But... If you buy a
crust or a pizza it's always thin.

I used to take an individual casserole and put a can of chopped Italian
style tomatoes in it. Then top with cheese and nuke. Tasted just like
pizza but with a lot less carbs.

Usta make for great rum n' cokes. They ruined it by changing to HFCS.
You can still get it in bottles, in CA. I haven't seen it, here, in
CO.

I used to get Henry Weinhard's Pale Ale in CO. When I moved back east
of the Mississippi, I couldn't find it. Then one day it magically
appeared. Then six months later is was gone and never returned. I
tried to special order it, but no one could get it.
