After two attempts for dinner we finally made it to Mothership Pizza Paradise for lunch today. Started with Arancini and Woodfired Veggies (Carrots) and then Kay (margarita) and Kathy (pepperoni) pizzas with a hot honey dipping sauce. Finished with M&M Cookies and Milk. Was great!

Two Neapolitan-style pizzas stacked on silver pans at a restaurant table, the top one with pepperoni and fresh basil, the bottom a margherita. Bowl of golden-brown arancini topped with grated parmesan and herbs in a tomato sauce, served with a spoon at a marble restaurant counter. Two large M and M cookies on a white plate beside a small cup of milk on a dark napkin, served on a white table.

Colorado Avalanche v Minnesota Wild tonight. Hockey is such a great live game. Fresh snow made it super difficult to get here - missed the first period. 3-1 with Colorado in the lead. 😬🏒
