 Last week, I’d planned on presenting a screed about the garlic press. The LA wildfires distracted us from that. I instead went on a ramble about how we’re hosting a Slice Out Hunger Wildfire Relief pizza party tomorrow afternoon. It's a Sunday slice happy hour. I plan to make 18 pizzas in three hours. That's 144 slices. We’ll see if my aging GE Profile home oven can keep up with such reckless ambition. We’re still distracted, but today I will execute that rant about the garlic press for your reflection and/or amusement. But not without a poetic preamble--and an eventual confession that I am guilty as sin. So strap in, hang on, and suck down some over-the-counter stimulants. They might help. (I’m huffing Starbucks Italian Roast right now. Surprise!)

 Still struggling over what gift to give your pizzamaker this holiday? Here’s an unusual suggestion: just give up. Right now. Just go into your closet, close the door, ball up in the fetal position, and rock to visions of sugar plums, whatever those are. Already doing that? OK. Here’s another suggestion. Books. As you know, I have a pizza problem. It might be pizza love, if that’s even a thing. Perhaps it is. Perhaps it’s unnatural. Whatever. But if there’s one thing that entices me as much as pizza, it’s books. My book problem long predates the pizza problem. That means the Venn diagram overlap of pizza and books is a special sickness that I enjoy. And I can also share with you to help you solve your holiday gift giving dilemma.
