it’s time to make the pizzas

Tonight I’m helping to make pizzas at Melba’s house. We’re going to throw on some delish toppings, have a drink or three and watch the 2-hour season premiere of ANTM. After being inundated with obsessed cycle reruns, the new drinking game does not consist of a placemat. It’s like the classic Bob Newhart drinking game, where anytime a character says “Hi Bob” the viewers drink. In this updated game, anytime someone says “competition”, take a drink. Fierce is out, competition is in.

Our planned menu:

Garden Party
Mozzarella
Parmesan
Fresh Basil
Tomato Sauce

Snow Day Pizza
Garlic
Olive Oil
Parmesan
Mozzarella
Coarse Salt
[Fresh Basil]

Pig Roast Pizza
Pepperoni
Sausage Bacon
Garlic
Red Pepper Flakes
Mushrooms
Tomato Sauce
Mozzarella

Don’t they sound yummy? We’re going to throw in a fresh spinach salad in there, too. While topping-shopping at Safeway, I did pick up some items for own consumption, not intended for tonight’s yumfest.

Purchase: $27.54
EBT Card Balance: $36.30
Club Card Savings: $5.24 (16% of purchase)

UPDATE: Melba and I turnt those pizzas out! It’s hard to pick a favorite, all three were so good. And were pretty economical to make (especially compared to delivery) and there was enough for leftovers for tomorrow to boot!

QUICK UPDATE: Mode Project, the same design team that created Obama’s iconic “O” campaign logo, is credited with designing the recovery.gov logo along with a great new Dept o’ Transpo’ project logo. Thanks @katkatkatbobat!
