Missing US Pizza

I saw an ad on Facebook for one of several pizza restaurant chains that are nigh-omnipresent in the US and it looked *so good* my mouth started watering.

It's hard for me to find pizza I like here. Pizza at grocery stores can be pretty funny though. There are varieties of "American Style" pizza by one company that mostly have things I would never expect to see on a US toppings list. The picture I saw, of a simple pepperoni pizza, just looked *so* good.

I was going to put pepperoni on a pizza I made here at home last time I did that, but the local LIDL doesn't sell any pepperoni. I used ham cubes...

Amstelveen Streets

The street outside our window is typical of relatively major streets in the Amstelveen area. This is Amsterdamseweg, which proceeds north to the Amsterdam border and then turns into Amstelveenseweg. I think it's a common route for travel between the two cities.

There is a roadway for automobiles in the middle with dedicated bicycle roadways on each side, all enclosed by pedestrian walkways that end at the buildings. This is urban design for bicycle nirvana.
