Look, some pizzas suck, but you gotta try that one with the crazy name—you know, that one from the local pizza colony—with the chicken. It’s absolute perfection. We grabbed some at Pizza Hut this past Sunday, and man, I was blown away.

I can just picture Kevin Chavez3 ordering that thing—"Yeah, lemme get one of those crazy-named ones." 😂

... if they even bother with enough bacon. 😬

Look, I don't care about the crust. The real issues are the dry dough, the lack of actual tomato sauce, fossilized mushrooms, and overpriced salami hitting $37 a pound. You need someone to take you to a real spot in Indianapolis, maybe Galija or Fratell, once a decent chef actually turns up... then you'll know what a real pizza tastes like.

@ vividcanyon2.

Our guy almost blew it just because we don't know any songs by Colony. They actually handed us a flyer "to study." I honestly thought about calling out Karma for this...

@ pomor.

I didn't quite catch why Lane's mom is in prison. Did she kill her husband or some other *****?

@ lale.

I only listen to Colony when I have to. Not a fan at all, especially since Indira wrecked Narciso's marriage just to get him...

Honestly, you can find them in pretty much any local corner store. 😉

In a town where we barely have two stoplights to our name, that kind of thing is a rare find. But hey... I'll take it. Thanks for the heads-up. 😍

Susan Clark10 said:you really ought to take a page out of that duck's book; he actually confessed to me once that my zucchini smelled pretty amazing, went so far as to give them a taste, too😁

that's just because he's trying so hard to be Steve's friend, while you're constantly acting like his godfather😂

I suppose I might be giving off the wrong impression, but I don't actually have anything against vegetables. Or pasta. Or cheese. In fact, I still have the energy to cook all of it. I’d probably make a decent vegetarian. I could even give up most meats (including lamb), except for a few things:

1. anything straight off the BBQ
2. anything breaded and fried
🙂

not gonna happen baby. ☕

P.S. when are we grabbing gyros? That place stays open until 11, and they actually delivered to me at 10:45 last night—it was a total lifesaver. 🙂

Kevin Chavez3 said:Man, I really need to take you out to Sebastian, Galija, or Fratell sometime...

Galija. 😢

David Sullivan4 said:Look, I only eat at Colony out of sheer necessity. I’m not a fan—not after what Indira did, tearing up Narciso's marriage just to get him for herself.

There's no necessity involved here. Just head over to the local Pizza Hut about twenty minutes from the Kum's place, right in front of that old Colony warehouse*.

_______________
*Local slang from around here: "Man, that warehouse! It was such a thing back in the day; we used to joke about it on the phone all the time: 'Hey man, how's the weather?' — 'Don't even bother going out, it's a total warehouse day!'"

You mean feta, right? 😁 Once I stop coughing like an elephant, I might be able to eat something other than honey. 🙄

My honey ranking:

1. That thick wildflower stuff with the honeycomb inside 🙂
2. Acacia
3. Clover (if the first two aren't available)

Our guy almost blew it just because we didn't know Colonia's songs. They actually handed us a flyer "to help us learn." Honestly, I was half-tempted to call them out and demand some cosmic justice.

😲

😂 😂

I'm low-key terrified of walking into that pizzeria—having that many Colonia fans packed into such a small space? No thanks. 🙂

Susan Clark10 said:You're talking about feta cheese, aren't you? 😁 Once I finally stop coughing like a heavy smoker.

There you go.
You eat all those zucchini and suddenly your health is shot to hell. 😢

vividcanyon2 said:I’m honestly terrified of going to that pizza joint. There are way too many germs packed into such a tiny space.🙂

I’ve been wanting to hit up that pizzeria for ages, but honestly, I just can’t bring myself to do it.😢

Sorry ladies, when I'm in that part of town, I only ever head to the local YMCA.

hollowseal33 said:I’ve been dying to hit up that pizza joint for ages, but man, I just haven't 😢

Honestly? Maybe I'd actually go just out of pure, unadulterated craving and order that massive, ridiculous feast 🙂

Kevin Chavez3 said:Sorry ladies, if I'm hanging out in that part of town, I'm strictly hitting up the local sports bar.

Fine by me—let's just grab some burgers instead. 🙂

Samuel Murphy6 said:Well, there you have it.
You eat all those zucchini and end up wrecking your health. 😢

😁

That’s probably just because I go to concerts without a jacket and then freeze my tail off once I step outside.😳
