Nick picked up his plate to carry to the table and simply said, "Um, no."
"What do you mean, 'Um, no?' You HAVE to try it," I said a little grumpily, feeling unappreciated.
He tried it. He loved it. He ate three pieces. It was fantastic. It looked great too. I have no idea what bothered him about it. He certainly got over it quick.

When I made the pizza dough, I kneaded two finely chopped garlic cloves into it. For the cream cheese, I used garlic, basil, oregano, and thyme and blended them in the food processor. I shredded fresh mozzarella in the processor too. It was so soft that some of it hit the consistency of ricotta. It still worked great.
