Sometimes it’s best to let the picture do the talking:
Pizza – Part 2
Pam, my Facebook friend, Scrabble buddy, and old high school chum commented on my last pizza post, “Why no picture of the baked pizza?”. Truth is, it was eaten before I thought about taking a picture of it. But pizza is on the menu nearly weekly, so here’s tonight’s version. It has grape tomatoes tossed…

Queen of Tarts
Queen of Tarts Bakery & Bistro is finally open and can be found at 10129 104 Street in Edmonton (sorry Calgary).
