Pizza Playdate
March 11, 2008
Last night we had a relatively rare dinner playdate — my boys go to bed early (by 7 PM) and therefore eat early. It’s generally not conducive to late afternoon/early evening get-togethers with friends. Last night went so smoothly, though, and even after Vicki and Rhys left around 6:30 I was still able to get A. and G. into bed by 7:10. Go me! And go Rhys… he is the youngest blogger I know (he really writes his own entries!).
The beautiful vegetable-laden pizza above was clearly not made by my children. Rhys’ pizza featured an unconventional cheddar cheese layer with sauce on top, plus scallions, mushrooms, and red peppers. A.’s has just mozzarella. G. branched out and added mozzarella plus what seemed like half a pound of mushrooms. The boys all had fun and actually ate their creations, which is a first for my kids (we’ve done the make-your-own pizza thing before, which they then refused to eat). Rhys is a good influence on them.
While I was running around getting the sauce and such, I drafted Vicki into making a pizza for us grown-ups to share. Here’s what she came up with — it was delicious.
And the glass of wine we had with it didn’t hurt, either.
The cherry on top is that all my vegetables are now already prepped for tonight’s stir fry — red, yellow, and green peppers, scallions, and mushrooms. Yum, twice.
