[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 8991653, member: 50987"] I've been on a rather strict diet for the last five months, on account of my high cholesterol (not my weight...although the two aren't completely unrelated.) This means, among other things, that I've had the extreme misfortune to not be allowed any pizza--nor any cheese-or-sausage-bearing substrate of any kind--since Thanksgiving. Well, now it's April, and according to my latest blood lab, my TCL has dropped by [I]more than a hundred points, [/I]and it has been holding steady in the Normal range for the last 30 days and counting through the power of diet and exercise alone. Blah blah arteries and lipids, yadda yadda cardiovascular whatever, et cetera, [I][B]I GET TO EAT PIZZA NOW.[/B][/I] I have a birthday coming up in a couple weeks, and my partner asked me for gift ideas. And my eyes teared up a little as I imagined the perfect birthday gift. "An extra large Brooklyn-style pizza," I said, suddenly lost in reverie. "And an ice-cold pitcher of beer." [/QUOTE]
