       | I helped build a Forno Bravo pizza oven last summer. It makes
       | spectacular pizza and stays hot enough to cook non-pizza dishes
       | for several days at ever decreasing temperatures. The parts
       | needed to be carried by boat for part of their journey, along
       | with countless bags of cement for the base and stucco for the
       | dome. I _earned_ that pizza.
