Dave Ostrander, an Oscoda-based pizza consultant known in the business as the “Pizza Doctor,” said many pizzerias in Michigan are likely to introduce low-carb pizzas in the next six months.

According to French magazine Elle the next thing to hit the singles scene after ‘speed-dating’ is ?quiet parties?. This is already the craze at the Parisian hot spot Tanija. Participants are united in a room in total silence. It is forbidden to speak a word. To order a drink or chat up a date participants need to use a pencil and paper supplied by the venue.
