QUITE a few people would like to see this site continue at its current level of activity. I have gotten a lot closer to my goal today. Thank you for your generous contributions. Please see the previous post for the gruesome and shocking details of this site’s income. These figures may make you question my sanity if you have any idea how much time I have spent at this.

As an added incentive, I will be mailing a homemade Pizza Civitavecchia right before Christmas to anyone who donates $75 or more tonight (by midnight EST). Pizza Civitavecchia is rooted in a time before the Pizza-Industrial Revolution. It’s an Italian sweet bread that is often made for Easter, but is fantastic at Christmas time too. The ingredients include ricotta, rum, anise seeds, cinnamon, lemon zest, butter and a yeast sponge. It makes unbelievably good French toast. I don’t mean to knock fruitcake — you know, the stuff with lurid-colored candied fruit that Jane S. makes every year, but this is a great alternative.
