Poor Tom, another victim to the system...I think you should write a letter to Joe Lieberman. Although I occasionally quote the classics...you'll never catch Frylock saying "it was the best of times and the worst of times"...I avoid that crap like the Dickens. I prefer a little Walt Whitman...or maybe even a little Jack Burton " When the man has your back against the wall and he asks you in your face have you paid your dues? You just look him straight in the eye and you tell 'em what old Jack Burton always says...Yessir, the check is in the mail".

Anyway, I'm thrilled we have video evidence of my recent culinary achievements, and although Ellexa can currently already say "Mommy" and "Daddy"...I'm desperately trying to make her next spoken word"Vermicelli". I also tried to talk Jessica into putting the pizzaiola sauce in the baby's bottle..but she refused to agree to it. So did you hear Uncle V in the background say aloud "pastaciotto"? That footage is classic.

Also wanted to comment on this whole notion of 120 degrees of "dry heat" being more cooler than 90 degrees with high humidity . People, a pizza oven uses dry heat...to cook a stromboli and well-done Sicilian pie. Anyway, time for me to return to work. Thanks again to John for posting the Ellexa video..and making us famous on Youtube.
