I had Greek inspired, or mediteranian inspired food last night, that I made at home, and my friend enjoyed. OMG It was more mediteranian than it was Greek. I had to look it up.
I made my own gf ptia bread, some cubed meat seasoned with spices and I made tziki sauce with yogurt.
There were olives and cucumbers involved.

I am in awe of people who take the time to cook food.

Thanks! I will cook for you sometime then.
In the winter this town closes down, and I am housesitting 20 miles out of town. A friend of mine came over to visit and instead of drive 20 miles out of town, or try to meet there before she comes here it was just easier to cook. Pickings are slim-Pizza place, terriyaki place (when they are open) expensive place that i used to work at, or expensive italian place that I can't eat the pasta anyway.
Since I am not working full time I had plenty of time to prepare a meal. I enjoyed it much more after being in the village for 2 years, now I'm like, okay the novelty of cooking has worn off now.

I'm in New York, which answers all those other questions. 
I wanted eggplant on it but they were out so there were some tomato slices instead.
The only bad part was that it was undercooked so the cheese was sliding off.

I don't even have the motivation to do that now.
I mean I get that I was in a place for 2 1/2 years where I didn't cook and I was slightly underemployed during that time so I HAD more time-but I made my own pita bread?!

It's usually cut into strips or squares, then breaded and fried as if it were part of a parmigiana or piccata entree. Then they are put on the pie.
I've had unbreaded eggplant on pizza too but it gets slimy, so I prefer it the cooked way. You get the flavor without the slimy.
Although I guess you could bread/fry almost anything that way and it would seem okay on a pizza. I'd like to try zucchini pizza some time...

I hate olives, although I can deal with them on pizza if it's the only thing available -- if they are chopped up and not covering the slice.
I also hate onions on pizza. But most other common toppings are okay with me. If they aren't fishy.

I just had a couple of slices of sausage bread. It was good.

I only like them if they are diced real fine and mixed into the food so they don't feel acidy in my mouth, or if they are fried as onion rings.

I need to figure out this bread thing
I made my fried rice from last night more proper by adding sesame oil and more veggies (and no tacos)
But I have to say I completely underestimated the Asian isle at the store-the only sesame oil I saw was in a 5 oz bottle. I thought there must be more, I was really surprised.
