ebb and flow

Last week I posted about having Friday dinner according to the ebb and flow of the farmer's market. Well, this week I arrived almost too late. It was a half hour before it was to close, and there were on and off downpours all day. Any of the vendors that were left had sold out of most of their goods (yay!!!). On the way into the market, I saw someone carrying a take-n-bake- pizza and made the decision to not have to make anymore decisions other than that pretty pizza was what we were going to have for dinner. Oh boy, it did not disappoint. 'ZAW has a store front not to far from our house, but we had yet to try it. It's the small farm-locally produced-fresh ingredients-never frozen version of the "take'n-bake" and they have a booth at the farmers market. We are picky about our pizza, but I thought we could at least try it. (Read: I was already starving and I was wooed by the thought of just taking something home and having a delicious dinner appear in about 15 minutes.)
We had a spicy sausage, sage, 3 cheese and maple caramelized onion pizza with a whole wheat crust that was so thin it cooked up crisp as can be.(We very much prefer thin crust pizza's) It was amazing! Everything we love in a pizza. As I was describing the attributes to T. over dinner(organic, local, fresh) we kind of exchanged looks. We have yet to find a local pizza that we love that doesn't cost as much as just going out to a full dinner.(30+ bucks for a pie with two toppings?puh-lease!) Well, we do have a place that does a New York style, but we really both do somersaults for the thin crusted, sparsely topped, true Italian style pizza. And now we have found the Northwest equivalent for less than $20 a pie.
Buon Appetito!
P.S.
No photos 'cause we ate it all up too quickly!
