I must confess.We have been in a  little bit of a lull.Having fun doing summer time things and such.Haven't had a decent post since my birthday in late July.

Summer is winding down and we are trending towards putting the pool away and getting the fire pit out.

That said.Chicken wings and Pizza Shack pizza hit the spot for the annual Hawkeye/Cyclone football game

Cooking chicken wings pregame.My wings kick ass!

Lucy enjoying some early fall sunshine.

Picking up the pizza.

Safe and sound in the Frontier.

Home.

I think I have mentioned many times I am no fan of Taco pizza.The wife and kid love it,so there are usually two pizza's we buy and eat.Sher and Moll ate almost all of the Shack's Taco pizza.I on the other hand will be eating a sausage and pepperoni.Good stuff.

One more pic.

I'm pretty sure I have said that the Pizza Shack is our go to QC Style pizza joynt when we are in a hurry.

Is the Shack the best?No,but it ranks right up with the Bill's,Frank's,Harris's whatever.I give The Pizza Shack two thumbs up just because they put out a consistent QC type zza.

So there is actually a new pizza blog update.Although I was in bed and did not get to participate in the most recent exploits.

My parents came down from God's(TM) Country ie Clayton County to visit some friends in Pearl City Iowa.

Sher and Moll met up with parents ,friends and other assorted associates of our tribe.

The gathering spot was at Port City Underground in beautiful downtown Muscatine Iowa.

I can't give much of a review.I was sleeping after all,but my leftover pizza litmus test gives Port City a thumbs up.This was more of a family get together,but we had been there a few years ago.

We will have to visit again sometime for an in depth review as only we can do.As an aside we do know the owners of said Port City.Lacy,Diane,Andy and the rest of the gang,I'm sorry I couldn't be there.

Downtown Muscatine is pretty cool now days. Although back in the day I hit Boonies to see Lynn Allen quite a bit.Seems like a long time ago.

The pizza.

A family pic.And Har is doing okay.My ole man,Moll and sister Angela.

And Grandma G.

Go check out Port City Underground.

Cheers!

We are kind of in that mid summer lull.Trying to enjoy summer and whatnot.I found this funny little cartoon.I just prefer to nuke leftover zza and roll the dice. School is starting up next week so maybe we can get some sort of routine going,although high school football will be competing for my pizza dollars.

Stay tuned! Of course we will be venturing forth.Just might be some gaps in our updates,but that's why you all stick around with baited(pizza)breath!

Cheers.

The Beatles had it right.They say it's my birthday yes it is.This post will probably be rather ramshackle and all over the place and pizza will probably be secondary to the fun.

I've been wanting to go back and revisit Huckleberry's in downtown Rock Island.Called out the family and they came.

The obligatory rum shot.Lucy approves.

We stayed off of Harrison and went down Division.

Not sure what in the heck this was,but will resemble my colon tomorrow morning.Fire!

Okay on  to Rock Island.

Now as to the pizza.In all honesty we had been to Huckleberry's earlier this year.So I wanted to try a different crust and well the whole family kinda took over any thoughts of a coherent blog post,plus I front loaded heavily before we left anyways.

A few more family pics.I love them all.

Now it's time for food.As it was a free for all I didn't get some appetizers nor these chips.Where the hell did these chips come from?

I am not reserved,I digress.

The whole point of this blog is the pizza and I only got one good pic.

Be that as it may.It was my birthday and I didn't put much effort into this post.As always Huckleberry's Pizza is top notch.It's a little pricey but you will get a good tasting pizza.I will say this visit we did order the thin crust and it was great.I have almost a whole pizza waiting in the fridge as leftovers!

My bro in law Larry ate all of his spaghetti and my plate was clean.

With that.A few hugs and such.

And somewhere over the rainbow.

Final thoughts.Huckleberry's is great pizza.We have now had both the thinner crust and the deep dish.Will we make it regular stop? Probably not,because as I said it's pretty pricey.Don't let that stop you though.It's definitely a change of pace from the regular QC Style pizza offerings.Would I lie to you all?

Cheers!
