@matildagirl 

lol

What do y'all eat on pizza down under? Nothing weird and sacrilegious like pineapple or canadian bacon, I hope. ? 

I am a boring traditionalist when it comes to Italian frisbees. Tons of pepperoni and black olives. Cheese stuffed crust is good. Parm and a shake of oregano on top.

I can imagine!

I think that's another reason why I don't have chickens. I'd probably start thinking of them as pets and then wouldn't even be able to take their eggs.

DannyBoy,

That picture of your dog is cracking me up. When you want to sit there, does he refuse to move and look at you like, "Yeah, I'm comfortable. Go sit somewhere else."

Our dog we lost last year; he and I had a constant wintertime battle for the fireplace. When I wanted to stand in front of it, he'd be sprawled out and I'd tell him to move, and he'd just stare at me like, "Make me." I'd have to get down on the floor and slide him out of the way, and as soon as I left he'd go right back and the process would start all over again. 

I hope he has his own fireplace up there after a long day of chasing rabbits.

@polarberry Hi, I am afraid you can get an Hawaiian pizza with Cheese, tomato, ham and pineapple in Aus. No Canadian bacon as far as I know but definitely our own.

Australians tend to like lots of toppings as opposed to the more traditional Italian style. Though you can get all styles, lots of little pizza/pasta restaurant type places as well as the Chain places like Dominos. 

Its rugby tonight Australia playing South Africa and the New Zealand All Blacks playing Argentina so its pizza so my husband doesn't have to wash up, also beats me having to cook.  So I get to go and pick it up. I am going to try a new place and think we will get their Supreme (Cheese, tomato, ham, cabanossi, pepperoni, mushrooms, capsicum, onion, pineapple & olives.)  think I might try the Marinara (Cheese, tomato sauce, chunks of fresh fish, Prawns, mussels, calamari, wine & garlic. And of course a couple of gelatos, may as well make it worthwhile. Plus a glass of wine.

So I guess we fit the bill of weird and sacrilegious but have had the real thing in Italy in an Italian Castle near Venice no less.

Kind Regards

@dannyboy   I used to have a Rottweiler-German Shepherd mix (3/4 Rott) .   While we were at work she would help herself to leftovers in the refrigerator  She put her nose against the fridge door seal and worked it until she got it open.  Then she'd grab a Tupperware and take it to the nice cozy living room rug where she'd pull off the lid with her teeth, enjoy the contents, then go back to the fridge for another.  We'd come home to a wide-open refrigerator and empty tooth-marked plastic containers all over the living room floor.  At least the food was harmless.   I had to get a childproof lock for the refrigerator door.

@polarberry  Thought you might be entertained by this pizza menu from the other "Down Under" country.  This is my NZ relatives' favorite pizza joint, "Hell Pizza":
