New restaurant: ZIO AL’S PIZZERIA

We couldn’t let W, X, Y, Z month go by without at least one representative of  those last 3 letters so we went for lunch to Zio Al’s Pizzeria in Plano. When we pulled up, we were a little uncertain because the place looked so tiny, but we said “why not?” Boy, are looks deceiving. The menu had several pizzas that we had never heard of. We decided to try the Gyro Lovers’ Pizza since we both loved those ingredients.

Wow! It was delicious! Definitely worth a return visit. Maybe for a spinach ricotta?

New documentary: Language A to Z

Needing to finish off the alphabet, we were excited to discover the documentary Language A to Z on Kanopy. It’s a series featuring each letter of the alphabet so obviously we jumped to X, Y and Z (Sorry W, but you’ve had enough play this month). X stood for !XOO which is a “click language” originating in Africa. It has more sounds than any other language on earth, with over 100 different clicks. Y stood for Yiddish which the charming narrator says is a “dying language that is not really dying at all.” He then went on to the letter Z which is more prominent in our language than we ever realized. We love shows that teach us something and this show is chock full of information which is presented in a fun way. We’ll definitely be making our way through the alphabet with him.
