Q: How do you fix a broken pizza?

A: With tomato paste.

TIDBITS INDULGES IN SOME ®

PIZZA

by Kathy Wolfe October is National Pizza Month! If you’ve eaten pizza in the past month, you’re part of the 93% of Americans who have done that same thing. In fact, across the nation, about 350 slices are consumed every second, equivalent to about 100 acres of pizza each day. If you’re an average citizen, you’ll eat about 46 slices, equal to 23 lbs. every year. Pizza sales generate about $30 billion annually.

• It should be no surprise that pepperoni is the nation’s favorite topping, featured on about 36% of all pizzas ordered. That adds up to approximately 251,770,000 lbs. of this meat every year. Our least favorite topping is anchovies. About 61% of the population likes thin crust best and 14% prefer thick crust. The remainder like very thin crust the best.

• There are more than 61,000 pizzerias in the United States. Over 9,000 of those are in New York. About 17% of the restaurants in America are pizzerias.

• Pizza evolved in Italy hundreds of years ago as a way to use up leftovers. With no refrigeration or way to preserve perishables, women would roll out dough and put remnants of meals along with fresh produce on the dough to bake. turn the page for more!

PIZZA (continued):

• Tomato sauce base didn’t come about until the late 1600s. Until that time Europeans were suspicious of tomatoes, believing them to be poisonous. Once they overcame that fear, tomatoes became the base for pizzas.

• Antica Pizzeria is the first known pizzeria, which opened in Naples, Italy in 1738. In 1830, the Port’Alba restaurant opened in Naples, baking their pies in an oven lined with lava from nearby volcano Mount Vesuvius. America’s first pizzeria was opened by Gennaro Lombardi in 1897 in New York City, and is still in operation just down the street from its original location.

• To the Italians, there are two main types of pizza, the Marinara and the Margherita.

Marinara pizza is topped with tomato, oregano, garlic, and olive oil, while the Margherita has a topping of tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil.

• Super Bowl Sunday is the highest pizza sales day of the year. Domino’s Pizza alone sells more than 110 million pizza slices on that day, about 80% more than a normal Sunday. Super Bowl Sunday is followed by New Year’s Eve, Halloween, Thanksgiving Eve, and New Year’s Day. But even with all the pizzas sold on those days, pizza still takes second place in the takeout department for the over-50 crowd, edged out by chicken.

• In 1958, two brothers from Kansas borrowed $600 from their mother to start up a pizza restaurant in a 600-squarefoot building in Kansas. Frank and Dan Carney opened up the first Pizza Hut near Wichita State University, and just one year later, had their first franchise restaurant in neighboring Topeka. Within 10 years, there were 300 Pizza Huts across the nation. Today there are approximately 12,000 Huts in over 90 countries around the world. In America, this chain is the largest user of cheese, purchasing more than 3% of the country’s supply, an amount that requires 170,000 dairy cows to produce.

PIZZA (continued):

• Pizza Hut’s first ad back in 1965 featured the slogan “Putt Putt to the Pizza Hut.” A man in a business suit driving his 1965 Mustang was the star of the ad. Over the years Donald and Ivana Trump, Ringo Starr, The Monkees, and even former USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev have appeared in Pizza Hut advertisements.

• Pizza Hut may be the largest pizza chain with the most restaurants, but it’s not the leader in delivery. That honor belongs to Domino’s, who has nearly 11,000 stores in more than 70 countries, delivering more than million pizzas every day. Domino’s started out with one store in 1960, when Tom Monaghan and his brother James borrowed $900 to buy DomiNick’s, a pizzeria in Ypsilanti, Michigan. The following year, James traded his half of the company for a Volkswagen Beetle. In 1965, Tom renamed his store Domino’s Pizza. By 1978, there were 200 restaurants. In 1983, the company opened not only its 1,000th store, but its first international outlet as well, in Winnipeg, Canada.

• Less than half of Domino’s pizzerias are located in the U.S., about 5,000 out of 11,000. The U.K. is home to 774, India has 715, Mexico totals 592, and Canada has 380.

• Now estimated as the third largest pizza company, Little Caesars Pizza got its start in Garden City, Michigan in 1959. After Detroit Tigers’ shortstop Mike Illitch was injured, he and his wife Marian went into the pizza business.

Mike wanted to name the restaurant Pizza Treat, but Marian had a better idea. She thought of Mike as her “little Caesar,” and the name stuck. That original store is still in operation today.

• Mozzarella cheese originated in Italy, produced from the milk of water buffaloes.

Traditional mozzarella comes from those buffalo in a very few countries, including Bulgaria and Italy. Because it is not aged like most cheeses, traditional mozzarella is eaten fresh within a few hours after it is produced. Most mozzarella is made from pasteurized cow’s milk due to the rarity of the water buffaloes.

• What about pizza’s caloric content? A pepperoni personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut is about 625 calories, while one slice of that company’s Supreme pan pizza is 440 calories.

• Available pizza toppings in North America vary according to geographical area, and in some parts of the country, regional favorites are Cajun shrimp, oysters, crayfish, tuna, venison, duck, eggplant, and artichoke hearts. The majority of the population still favors meat toppings (62%), while the remaining 38% prefer vegetarian ingredients. International toppings include Japan’s favorite squid, eel, bacon, and potato pizza. In India, folks prefer pickled ginger, mutton, and tofu, while a fish pizza is the Russian’s choice, a combination of sardines, tuna, mackerel, herring, and salmon. In the Netherlands, if you order up a Double Dutch, you’ll receive double cheese, double onions, and double beef.

• Canada has its own unique taste in pizza. The Poutine has toppings of cheese curds, French fries, gravy, and shaved beef. Also gaining popularity there is the hot dog stuffed crust pizza, which features an Angus beef hot dog cooked inside the stuffed crust.

Tools 4 life A daughter asked a pastor to pray with her dad. When he arrived, he found Joe lying in bed, head propped up on two pillows, and an empty chair beside his bed. “I guess you were expecting me,” he said. “No, who are you?” “Your daughter called me and when I saw the empty chair, I figured you were expecting me.” “The empty chair”, said the dad. “I’ve never told anyone this, not even my daughter. All of my life I have never known how to pray. I used to hear about prayer, but it always went right over my head.

Four years ago my best friend said to me, “Joe, prayer is a simple matter of having a conversation with Jesus. Here’s what I suggest. Sit down on a chair, place an empty chair in front of you, and in faith see Jesus on the chair. It’s not spooky because he promised, “I’ll be with you always.” Then just speak to Him and listen in the same way you’re doing with me right now.” “So, I tried it and liked it so much that I do it a couple of hours every day. I’m careful, though. If my daughter saw me talking to an empty chair, she’d either have a nervous breakdown or send me off to the funny farm.”

Deeply moved, the pastor prayed and left. Two nights later the daughter called the pastor with the news of her dad’s passing. “When I left the house, he called me over to his bedside, told me one of his corny jokes, and kissed me on the cheek. When I got back from the store an hour later, I found him dead. But there was something strange, In fact, beyond strange--kind of weird. Apparently, just before Daddy died, he leaned over and rested his head on a chair beside the bed.”

STRANGE BUT TRUE

● It was American author and critic H.L. Mencken who made the following sage observation: “Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag and begin slitting throats.” ● Those who study such things claim that Napoleon Bonaparte was afraid of cats. ● Don’t consider yourself uneducated if you’ve never heard of anthropodermic bibliopegy; the practice of binding books with human skin is not (one can hope) common in modern times. .(c) 2014 King Features Synd., Inc.

Check out a review for our Marion location: Zio Johno’s is a locals favorite affordable Italian dining experience (as far as Cedar Rapids, Iowa gets).

The Tuesday special at the Marion location means that all pizzas are 50% off. The dining room is very clean, with a fancy appeal. Outdoor seating is available as well. This is a perfect place for the family, as they offer high chairs for the little ones. Since the pizzas were cheap, and small we decided to “live it up” in Marion, Iowa for this attempt. You will see what we mean below... By the way, Their website has the menu on it.

Home safety is very important to us, and even more important during the short, dark days of winter. Here are a few hints to stay safe. ● Invest in a few of those small “tap” lights -- the kind you touch on top to turn on -- and put them along your path to various rooms, especially if you have to cross a room in the dark before reaching a lamp. ● Turn on a light when you reach for your weekly pill container to be sure you don’t grab the wrong day’s pills. ● Use a ladder and stepstool only if someone else is around.
