Pizza Night

The boys adding pepperonis to the pizzasWell, call me crazy, but I let the boys help me make pizza tonight. Of course, things would have gone much smoother had there not been so many….”issues”, let’s call them. First off, Terra made this awesome dough – for Calzones. But we switched up things and it had barely defrosted by the time we started, so I think I spent 20 minutes trying to spread it on our big pan. But it worked, eventually…

Then I realized the pizza sauce I had grabbed was way, way expired…and it was all we had. After a few moments of frantic searching in the cupboard, I ended up doing a search online for pizza sauce recipes and after this page figured I could probably swing making up my own recipe (as all the others were pretty involved). It didn’t turn out half bad….

But the real fun was letting the boys put the cheese and pepperonis on the pizzas. Yeh, they enjoyed that. Unfortunately, the pizzas still had to cook almost 20 minutes when we finished making them – and it was already 6:30. And the boys normally eat around 5:30 at the latest. Way to go dad!

But with the help of the Lion King and a bit of playtime with Daddy we made it through and the boys pretty much scarfed down the pizza, though I’m not sure if it was due more to my “creative” sauce or their starvation. Actually, I really think it was the awesome dough Terra made.

So now Obama is president, and my Blizzard in a Bed

Well, I was hoping to watch the events of the day during my lunch break, but the managers at work decided to be generous and buy us pizza for lunch (so we didn’t kill ourselves by going out in the snow…apparently it was okay to make us come to work…). That’s great, but they didn’t want us to take a lunch break until the pizza arrived – at two o’ clock. not so cool – but thanks for the free food!

And, of course, the weather. We got a few inches of snow last night. I, unfortunately, missed the announcement that I could come in two hours late. So I went in at my usual time, albeit a lot more slowly because I wanted to be safe on the crazy roads.

By the time I left work, the snow had stopped falling and had begun to melt. Most of the snow on my truck had melted – except in the bed of the truck. So as I drove home, all around me it looked like a beautiful yet snowy day – but calm. Yet through my back window, it looked like a blizzard was in full force because of the way the airflow whirls around in a truck’s bed. So that is my Blizzard in a Bed!
