Pizza has been around for at least 2,000 years as these ancient Roman examples show. It wasn’t until the 18th century that Italians began adding tomato sauce, ushering in the modern pizza. Have a yummy NATIONAL PIZZA DAY.

The Lumbee Indians are a huge tribe in southeastern North Carolina. This is their signature dish. It’s similar to what I call chicken n’ dumplings. I was unable to find a recipe, but online cooking videos are available. [my triple-great-grandfather, John Pate, came from Lumbee territory]
