We were getting ready for pizza night, and I was ranting about anchovies, wondering why nobody ever chops them up before adding them to pizzas. I happen to love anchovies on my pizza, but having to bite through giant pieces while hot cheese pulls and sauce spatters is not my favorite thing to do. Spreading them over the pizza in small bits makes a world of difference.
Alex happened to be opening a new jar of anchovies as I was having my moment, and a light bulb went off in his head. He decided to freeze them, with their oil, so he could zest them over the pizza for a more even dispersion of flavor. He tucked them in a container in the freezer and told me I’d either thank him or kill him. Safe to say, he’s still here…
