Pizza, With a 75% Fail Rate
September 23, 2009
I skipped grocery shopping on Tuesday so that I could pick up my new tennis racquet instead (yay!). So last night I made the Boboli pizzas I’d planned for Wednesday, since I had all the ingredients in the house. I made the boys’ with a light amount of marinara sauce and shredded mozzarella. A. ate ravenously — it was a pleasure to see! But my little guy, in keeping with the previous night’s declaration that he no longer likes plain pasta, told me he didn’t like pizza anymore, either. OK, that’s 1 out of 4 mini pizzas that failed. He skipped dinner, even when his brother tried to guide him as to which of his slices would taste the best.
The other two pizzas were for me and J. I made one with some slices of Gouda, with thinly sliced onions and red pepper, and black olives on top. It would have been yummy had I not put it back under the broiler a second time and accidentally burned it. Then there was the fig jam and blue cheese combo, which was close to being interesting but was runny, sticky, and a little too much like dessert.
Sometimes dinner is like that. I’m glad I only had 10 minutes invested in prep.

it’s good to think about the bright side when meals don’t go as planned… sorry about the pizza bust.
thanks for your comment the other day — I’ve found that the egg noodles work well in the crockpot (better than lasagna ones).
