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!

America’s Next Top Model is bringing the fierceness for Cycle 11 on its premiere September 3rd. Isis, a contestant from local Prince Georges County (MD), is “a woman born physically male”, US Weekly reports. In what is sure to be a shocker to some of the other contestants (as well as viewers), GLAAD president Neil Giuliano describes Isis’ participation in the show as “an unprecedented opportunity for a community that is underrepresented on television. We applaud Tyra Banks and The CW for making this historic visibility of transgender people possible.”

Isis’ promo page can be found here. Her portfolio modeling shots will expand as we get closer to premiere date and move through the season.
