All those medical and technological miracles, yet scientists and techonoligsts and silicone valley hasn’t figure out how to let us unsend an email or text message that was sent by accident. Say you type a snarky comment and send it to the wrong person via text or messenger. Your body flushes with hot blood, heart pounding between your ears, and you know you can do nothing about it but apologize, eat crow, and move on.

Can you hear me Facebook and Google and all those rich app developers? THAT needs to be the next big thing you figure out how to do. Like a 7 second delay on TV where they can bleep the f-word, regular folks need a 7-second delete-a-text rule.

Not that I’ve ever done that or anything. Nope, never me (*sheepishly she says*).

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 medium onion, sliced
• 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
• 1 tube pizza crust (such as Pillsbury)
• 1/2 cup prepared pesto
• 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese

Directions:

1. Heat a 10-12” skillet over medium heat and add the oil. Swirl around the pan, then add the sliced onions. Sprinkle the onions with the sugar and toss to coat. Cover and cook 5-10 minutes over medium low, stirring often, until they start to brown, then remove the cover and continue cooking an additional 3-7 minutes, stirring often, until the onions are soft and caramel in color. Remove from pan and set aside to cool.
2. Preheat oven to 450°F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Unroll pizza crust. You can also use a prepared pizza crust (homemade or store-bought), one that makes one 12” pizza, but make it into a rectangle or an oblong rectangle.
3. Spread the pesto over the top of the pizza crust. Sprinkle with cheese and spread the cooled caramelized onions over the top.
4. Bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bottom and edges are browned and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Slice and serve warm.
