Friday Pizza

Yesterday was not bad. Most days are not bad. Evenings? That's when things can get bad.

Friday is our family's standing tradition of pizza. I love pizza. All day I thought of ways that I could improve my pizza - maybe semi homemade with wheat crust, pizza sauce, no cheese, lots of vegis. I even had high hopes of getting online and finding a great recipe. Time must be my nemisus, because it beat me. I ran out, it was time to eat, I didn't even have a frozen pizza in the deep freezer, and Audrey Iverson over (btw - so awesome that I have friends with babies so I can have my baby fix!), so I gave in to quick fix. We ordered Domino's Pizza. I thought, well, I can cheat a little. Maybe 2 pieces, it's only a little cheese. I totally JUSTIFIED eating pizza. 3 pizzas were ordered, peperoni, pineapple and plain cheese. Once they arrived and we were ready to eat, I grabbed my 2 pieces and began to savor and enjoy. Yeah, not so much enjoyment, I am not crazy for Dominos. It was a probably a good idea to order from a place I didn't care for. When I was done, I realized that I had grabbed, out of habit I am sure, the peperoni. I felt like a double failure. I had only reasoned 'OK' to eat the cheese.

I am not going to beat myself up for 9 pieces of peperoni and some awful cheese. I am really going to do better in making a conscience effort to pay attention to what I eat. I believe realizing why I do what I do, can help me in the long run. Yesterday was not a typical day for me. I had slept in to 11 (midnight showing can do that to you) and I had a packed day with running my children around for previously committed activities. Despite my lack of preparation, the day really was good. So, for future, I know I need a good pizza recipe. I will get that researched and begin the testing!
