One Ten without ham



Now that we finally live together, the blog-title "Double half" doesn´t fit anymore or does it?

So I ask:

What characterizes me? What title would be appropriate?

Oh, sure, some words to the suggested title...
There is one place in the world (and it´s a rather small place, it´s my hometown, Da Nico) where I can call, not even mention my name, say „One Ten without ham, please“ - „Ten Minutes!“, and then... then I get the yummiest Pizza in the whole wide world!
And I tried many... 

 >>> Nico retired and went back to Italy....

But "One Ten without ham" would be a rather stupid title, wouldn´t it?

So what characterizes me, I dunno.

- I love the sun but am allergic to it

- I can drive but not park the car >>> I learned but gave my company car away in 2018

- Haha... I love to go shopping but don´t have much money >>> I´m OK, money-wise...

- I like to eat but hate to cook (ok I do the washing up – not that I like that either, though) >>>  I LOVE to cook! Learned it thanks to Jamie Oliver.

- I love to visit far away places – but hate the long, uncomfy journeys (yes, compared to earlier days we have a big achievement here. Take the german train means very often to sit on the hard floor for hours... then in hard chairs at the airport, you know what I mean)

- I love warm places but eeeek... all the insects crawling, flying....

Well ... I want the whole thing but it´s only one half that totally suits me. Is that kinda double half after all? Maybe I just keep that name.

Because... One Ten without ham....nah. Not really!

Oh, and. I always eat only one half at a time of it.
My pleasure to not get stomach ache and have it twice even though not living there anymore.
Double half after all?

Any guesses?

Great. Now after I freed the Pizza I had on September 12, 2006
from the oily carton via Photoshop, I´m hungry for that Pizza and only that number 10 without ham from Pizzeria Da Nico in Seesen.

How about simply:

"Ingo 'n Iris"

I do love the name Iris!!

Iris Flavia said...

Hmmm, I dunno - if Ingo wasn´t so lazy... he has his own blog after all?
I´ll think about it, but I hope you´re not disappointed if I don´t go for it.
I write a lot about him and me, but often it´s about family or things that happen to me alone.

Hehe :-) I didn´t get that name due to the flower but due to the eye - my father was an optometrist!

Flea said...

Why not? Nice and different which will get people to come and read what this is all about.
You are very very artistic, I'm surprised you are not some sort of artist/painter/sculpture what ever LOL.
Some artistic name maybe?
Love the things you did to your place, so cool.

Iris Flavia said...

Are you serious, Java, "One Ten without ham"?
:-))) Well, I´ll give it a guess, may take some time, though!

Oi, thanks for thinking I might be artistic!
But honestly most of the artistic things rather come from Ingo!

I do web-development for a job and sometimes that means graphic-design, too. But I never learned it the professional way.

An artistic title... whew, my brain is empty, that´s a big challenge! But thanks for the input!

I'm really craving pizza now after seeing the photo on your post. Yum. I do love the chair pictured below too. Nice place you have there.

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you, Monkey Boy!
Guess you mean the egg-chair - I didn´t buy it - too expensive after all.
Jips - best Pizza ever! Some 100 km away...

Loved the pic of your sweet daughter, my favoRED color, she wears :-)

Sarah said...

How about "Two Halves = One Whole"

Also don't worry about having a really strange title for your blog. It makes it unique :)

Iris Flavia said...

Thank you Sarah! Still not made my mind up on this one, though...

egan said...

Yep, the egg chair. I had pizza later on the day I commented.

Iris Flavia said...

:-) Having read your plan about weight-loss... so sorry! ;-) Go for a brisk walk with your sweet ones and everything is fine again!

River said...

I agree that One Ten without Ham is unique and would raise people's curiosity so they would come to see what it is all about.
There is no such thing as a crazy blog name anyway, whatever works to get people coming to your site is a good name.

Iris Flavia said...

River, argh, blogger let me know but now you commented, sorry I´m late.
Hm, wouldn´t it raise cravings, rather, hence people hate me? (See Egan, he had a pizza straight away, although trying to stick to a diet...).
In Italy I found a pizza that was PERFECT. A small stand, such a yummy pizza! The longest queue!
