Yeah, I know it's multicultural, but I have a friend from Italy that married a Mexican, so it does happen.

We're on a semi-diet, so I used Sara Lee's pita bread for a crust. (1 g sugar). It's pretty good, very crunchy, but you have to be careful not to burn the bottom, since it's already baked.

On the Egg. Note the top centers are different so we could distinguish who's is whose.

    Creative. What was the time/temp on the pita? Also, the guac looks good - tomatoes are a must for me, too. Have you ever tried green chiles in it?

    Thanks Jeremy. I bet the pizzas weren't on the Egg for more than 5 minutes. I had let the temp get up to 900° by mistake, so the pita was done just as the cheese had melted. I would have liked the toppings to cook a little longer.

    I did use green chiles - serranos. Gives the guacamole a little kick.

    I'm with Beli...I don't think many of the shrimp would have made it to the pizza or I would have to do another batch. ;)

    Thanks, Berry. I will admit that I had to taste test the shrimp several times to make sure they were done.

    It looks good - I like the sauce you used.

    If Beli ever comes for dinner, you'd better hide the Portmerion!

    If Beli ever comes to dinner, there's a lot of things I'll be hiding -- especially the women. :laugh:

    :laugh: Let's see. The baciamella sauce had 1/2 stick of butter and a pint of whipping cream and the shrimp were sauteed in butter. Nah, the chips weren't fat free, but the pita bread had only 1 gram of sugar. Everything balances out, in a way.
