Hi,
Just wanted to say hi and thank everyone for this amazing site and all your input. I'm located in Sonoma County, CA and I'm in the process of re landscaping my backyard. I'm a third generation Italian American who grew up just outside NYC with a huge Italian family, very Soprano like. Sunday's were the usual ritual of church and then visiting both sets of grandparents. My grandmother would have a table of homemade pasta drying for the Sunday afternoon feast. Being a young kid surrounded by all this madness was so much fun. I had Aunts that would teach me curse words and Uncles that would give me a taste of vino. And the meals were amazing. Twenty to thirty people sitting outside eating a feast. Most of the food was cooked outside and the majority of the food was grown or raised by my Grandfather.
After seeing this website I'm already in the process of plotting out an area in my yard to construct a Pompeii brick oven. It's a must have for me. I'm a pretty handy guy and do alot of remodel work around the house but I'd love to find a friend or two in the area that has taken on this project to give me some advice.
I can only imagine how much fun it would be to invite friends over and make homemade brick oven pizza. I also love to make homemade bread, calzones, foccaccia, etc. Thanks for all your advice. Franco
