1. What's New: Why Make Pizza?, Why Make it to The Forum?.

I have started to submit a number of articles to various article directories around the Internet. One of my articles explains why you should make your own pizza. I have included part of this article in Pizza News.

You can read the rest of this article by clicking the link included below:

 

Why You Should Make Your Own Pizza
by Albert Grande, The Pizza Promoter

 

Pizza is a universal food. Originally confined to Italian neighborhoods, pizza has now become mainstream. Travel anywhere in the world and you will be able to find some type of pizza.

As noted bread baker Peter Reinhart explained to me: “Pizza is the perfect flavor delivery system.” Pizza is the ultimate comfort food.

With a little practice, you can easily make your own delicious home made pizza.

Here are four reasons why you should make your own pizza.

1)      Making pizza is easy. With the basic tools found in any kitchen, you will be able to make pizza dough. All pizza dough follows the same basic pattern. Mix flour with yeast, water and salt. Some pizza dough recipes call for oil, however this may be omitted. (I use olive oil in my recipe, but this is a matter of preference.) There are many wonderful pizza dough recipes available to you. You need to find one that you like and will satisfy your own taste.

Why Should you make it to the
The Forum:

The pizzatherapy.com and pastatherapy.com Forum continues to attract all manner of pizza activists. There are now over 300 members with over 530 articles, comments, and conversations.  My goal is to have over 1,000 members. That only leaves less than 700 members to sign up. (I have reached over 25% of my goal).

There are lots of great features at the Forum. Believe me, a very friendly and helpful community has developed. Take a look, read some of the threads (conversations), and share your own personal stories and knowledge.

I want to personally invite you to check out the pizzatherapy.com and pastatherapy.com Forum.
The Forum is just dripping with pizza tales, pizza tricks and pasta fun, too.

 2. Oprah and Gayle: The Best Pizza in America

Oprah Winfrey and her best friend, Gayle King, discussed pizza on the "Oprah" television show, recently. Of course, I was excited to watch, especially, when the promos announced, Gayle was on a quest to find The Best Pizza in America.

Gayle began her quest in Maryland, where she had gone to college. She had some memorable pizzas in the city of Adelphi at Ledo's Restaurant. She explained the pizza there was some of the best she had ever tasted. The pizza did look fantastic.

Next she journeyed to Phoenix, Arizona, to have what has been described as the "best pizza in the world" at Pizzeria Bianco. She interviewed some of the customers who were waiting in line to try Chris Bianco's extraordinary pizza. One patron explained that Chris Bianco is there making pizza every night  and "pours his heart and soul into every pie. You can taste his passion for the food."

As Gayle walked through the restaurant, several customers offered her slices of pizza. She explained that the aroma swept her off her feet. She gladly tried each sample without hesitation. She was quite impressed with every bite.

She interviewed Chris about his pizza making. Gayle  explained that sometimes he may make up to 250 pizzas a night. Chris Bianco was as usual, incredibly humble. He is a genuine nice person and the ultimate pizzaiolo.

Gayle's list of the Best Pizza in America is:

Adelphi, MD 20783
301-422-8122
Pizzeria Bianco
623 E. Adams St.
Phoenix, AZ 85004
602-258-8300
Mariella's
960 8th Ave.
New York, NY 10019
212-757-5278
Pizzeria Due

Chicago, IL 60611
312-943-2400

 

You can go to Oprah's site and see a video clip of The Best Pizza In America show.
Here is the link: click here.

Now I would never take issue with anyone's selection of their favorite pizza place. Pizza taste is after all, completely subjective. This is Gayle's list and she can choose what she feels is the best pizza. Who makes the best pizza, is, of course, totally your own choice.

I do have an issue with Gayle, however. The issue with Gayle, is not an act of commission but rather omission. I discuss this issue, in this blog post.

I also reveal a little known fact about Gayle King, that you will find no-where else. Here is a hint: if you live in Connecticut, you would probably know this.

I discuss this and reveal the little known fact at my blog. I also ask Gayle a question. If you know someone, who knows someone, who knows someone, who knows Gayle, would you ask Gayle to email me? I need to ask her a simple question.

Gayle, please free to write to me at:

P.S. Gayle, I am serious. I really will make a pizza for you.

 

3. The Secret is Here (and it's Free!)

I first heard about The Secret about one year ago. The film caused quite a stir.
(Larry King recently mentioned
The Secret on his show.)

The Secret features some of my most notable mentors such as Joe Vitale, Bob Proctor, Jack Canfield (Chicken Soup for the Soul), plus many others.

What is the Secret?

"In this astonishing program are ALL the resources you will ever need to understand and live The Secret. For the first time in history, the world's leading scientists, authors, and philosophers will reveal The Secret that utterly transformed the lives of every person who ever knew it... Plato, Newton, Carnegie, Beethoven, Shakespeare, Einstein.

Now YOU will know The Secret. And it could change your life forever."

 

I created a web page at grandepublishing.com with resources for The Secret. I also have a link where you can watch
 The Secret for free.
 (You may need a high speed Internet connection...)

I am not affiliated with The Secret in any way. I do not receive any money or goods for mentioning The Secret.

I do believe The Secret has valuable information.

I saw it and I immediately bought my own copy.
