There’s been so much going on lately with Facebook that it’s both impossible to keep up and impossible to miss.

@Carla — Glad you enjoyed the podcast. 🙂 Yes, honey on my pizza. It really doesn’t matter the topping, though I think it’s best on the crust so it’s not really part of it. My favorite pizza is spinach, pineapple, and olives, which I completely put honey on top of.
Wait, you put honey on your pizza? Along with what other toppings?
