Today I had the visit of a technician from Orange at home. I used to have this old Livebox 1.1

I got an upgrade. The technician exchanged my old Livebox against this new Livebox ZTE. You can easily setup a private LAN at home (which was not possible earlier). It supports WPS and wireless can be switched on/off, as does the Livebox itself. You have LEDs for every LAN/TV port, USB, Wi-Fi, WPS etc. I heard you can connect a shared printer directly to the router.

I already have a Wi-Fi extender router which I’ll use downstairs where the reception from my main router gets weaker.

I will be configuring the boxes tonight and setup the new LAN.

Finally a good thing happening and the criminal code is being modified to allow abortion under certain conditions (cf. “Criminal Code Amendment Bill” pdf file). This has not been modified since set in 1898 and was “very” long overdue.

Pizza Hut Mauritius has been giving out free pizzas quite often, lately. For instance, last week itself, they launched 4 “challenges” on their facebook page and gave away many free pizzas to the winners.

Friday afternoon, I came across their 4th challenge which was as follows :

Suppose you have to create a REAL MAURITIAN pizza. What would be the name and the main ingredients ?

Since, I love cooking at home, I thought why not give it a try and let my imagination do the rest. I posted this :

Name : “BBQ Rougaïzza” (as in Rougaille)

Toppings : Lychee/litchi (bring in some sweetness in a unique way), stringy white mozzarella, tomato sauce for flavour (a bit of lycopene in :)), crushed garlic, mushrooms, green bell pepper (or roasted), slight amount of corn, caramelised onion (done in olive oil), grilled chicken breast (pre-marinated in a BBQ sauce), baked cashew nuts (cashews on pizza are just great)

Top finishing layer : 3-4 tomato (or sun-dried) slices, a couple of jalapeño slices, 2 slices of eggplant on the top finishing layer, sprinkle some shredded parsley and dried oregano on top.

Shape : Circular (the classical one) or square pizza like the ones they serve in Rome or even Heart-shaped pizza.

Pizza base : Current Pizza Hut base (thin or thick crust)

Serve with some good hot Tabasco® sauce :)

For those who adventurous in culinary, you can even replace the chicken by some local salted fish of ours :)

Ten most creative ones (winners) were announced this Monday morning. More than 30 recipes were posted and mine was among the best 10. To my surprise, “BBQ Rougaïzza” was selected by the Pizza Hut team as the best among the 10 best. 

I just got my voucher/code for the free large pizza, perfect ! Pizza night tonight, I guess.

However, the best pizzas are definitely served in Italia. The big square pizzas they sell in Rome are just too good and different (those I tasted there). A bit fatty but the best in the world, for sure :-)
