OK, Here we go..... I think it only fair to start with this photo as this trip to Tokyo, and the inspiration of these two guys with me in the photo, really kicked off my interest in exploring food, photographing said eats, and sharing/explaining my impressions of my experiences. So, to you David Chang and Anthony Bourdain, Cheers, and thanks. As I begin I think it only fair to explain a bit of what my purpose with this blog is. As you know, I do not participate in Facebook, and I wont go into why here, but I NEEDED a vehicle to communicate and connect with those in my life, both near and far. As the name implies, this will primarily be a blog about pizza. However, as this is mine, I will feel free to do and say as I damn well please, as it pleases me. So I hope to not offend or tiptoe too far over the line of appropriateness, but if I do, that's just too fucken bad. Enjoy. Pizza, food, life experiences, thoughts, feelings, rants, and more food. This is what you will find here. Please feel free to share and pass along to anyone you think might have an interest, as I hope you will as well. Sincerely yours, DVA

Curling, Mexico, Out-Houses, The Finer Things in LIfe


Yes, this is gonna be awesome.

Curling, the number 2 sport in Canada, and we love it too.  Any curl any time.

In celebration of the recent winter Olympics we thought we'd do our part and support the US Women's Olympic Curling Team.  
And no better place than a dirty bar in Mexico, about an hour south of San Diego.



The bar ended up being two bars and neither was all that dirty.

We donned our hats (curling hat, yes, thank you interweb, you can find ANYTHING there) and we rolled on in.  
Most of the people in the bar, all 5 of them to be exact, did a double take upon our entrance.  

We ordered a beer, we order the TV changed to the match, we ordered enthusiastic support of our team, which in the end didn't matter all that much, Sweden or whoever, kicked our asses.



Yes, it's truly as exciting as it looks!


In the final frame it all came down to a photo finish, curling style


Oh my god, who is closest?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!


To our amazement they actually have a piece of equipment to measure which stone is the closest.  Wowzer



This lovely Swedish gem was the winng tosser, thrower, slider?  

Not sure the correct term but she killed it (crushed it more like it....)


Drowning our sorrows in a Negra Modelo


Outhouse break?


Or maybe this one?

Has a Middle Eastern look to it


This should only be used as a last resort...


Extra shelter in front so that in the rain you can hangout out front and enjoy your smoke before heading back to the trailer


Hockey and a margarita, at 9 am, on a Sunday.

Viva la Me-hi-co!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I know, I'm going off kinda random here, but these are the sights of Mexico, my Mexico, where I go to take a break.  And where you can enjoy some of the best pizza, anywhere.  For more info on this place, Ollie's, see previous posts, there are several.


A bagel and lox sort of taste to this one.  Not my favorite but it was something different and tasty


Back to the trailer, and I'm happy to kick your ass in foosball any time you want, just lemmie know!


Or dominoes.... as long as my lucky monkey candlestick is near by ;-/





Curling, soccer, mexico, pizza, games, fun, friends, life, sun, drinking, being idiots,
laughing our asses off, being gnarly. 

Let's go to Mexico
