Pleasantly surprised

Walking over to Mod Pizza this evening, I mentioned having been glad of cream of asparagus soup being back in season at another local chain. That led to us thinking that it's too bad we couldn't get asparagus on a pizza.

It turns out that we can get asparagus on a pizza. The latest seasonal special includes roasted asparagus. The way things work at Mod, since they have the roasted asparagus, they'll combine it with whatever other toppings, sauce, and cheese you want. cattitude got the "Gus" (they name their standard pizzas, things like "Tristan" and "Maddy") and I got a roasted vegetable special: roast garlic, roast red pepper, and roast asparagus (on a pesto base, with basil, mozzarella, and a little bit of bacon).

With luck, they'll keep the asparagus around, the way they've kept having the roasted garlic that just turned up a few months ago, and the balsamic glaze they originally got for the "Olivia."

(Meanwhile, the cats seem to be recovering; I have done almost all my PT stretches and exercises, in addition to some unrelated exercises, today; and I will be able to turn in the next chapter I'm editing within an hour after getting an answer to my outstanding queries.)

How do basil and asparagus combine? That's the bit I would wonder about.

A Mod Pizza opened over by us, next to the Airport and the new pitch for the local (real ) football. Is it worth visiting?

If you like thin-crust pizza, I'd give it a try.
