Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.Press the pizza dough into a 12- to 14-inch round pizza pan. (Sometimes I use my stone, in which case you should preheat the stone for 30 minutes and roll your pizza dough on parchment paper sprinkled with cornmeal.) Brush the surface and outer crust with olive oil. Sprinkle with garlic salt.Spread the mozzarella over the pizza dough in an even layer. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the asparagus spears into thin ribbons, reserving the tips as well. Pile it all on top of the mozzarella. Dot the surface of the pizza with the garlic herb spread, then season with black pepper, to taste.Transfer the pizza to the preheated oven and bake until the mozzarella cheese is melted and the crust is lightly browned, about 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool a few minutes before slicing and serving.Source: Adapted from Annie's Eats, originally from The Tasty Kitchen Blog

Food Joke

John invited his mother over for dinner. During the meal, his mother couldn't help noticing how attractive and shapely the housekeeper was. Over the course of the evening, she started to wonder if there was more between John and the housekeeper than met the eye. Reading his mom's thoughts, John volunteered, "I know what you must be thinking, but I assure you, my relationship with my housekeeper is purely professional." About a week later, the housekeeper came to John and said, "Ever since your mother came to dinner, I've been unable to find the beautiful silver gravy ladle. You don't suppose she took it, do you?" John said, "Well, I doubt it, but I'll write her a letter just to be sure." So he sat down and wrote: "Dear Mother, I'm not saying you 'did' take a gravy ladle from my house, and I'm not saying you 'did not' take a gravy ladle. But the fact remains that one has been missing ever since you were here for dinner." Several days later, John received a letter from his mother which said "Dear Son, I'm not saying that you 'do' sleep with your housekeeper, and I'm not saying that you 'do not' sleep with your housekeeper. But the fact remains that if she were sleeping in her own bed, she would have found the gravy ladle by now. Love, Mom"
