I have a headache...But, I get pizza for dinner

That's a fair trade, imo. And, it's Pizza Hut Veggie Lover's :9

:hi: And that's what's for dinnah.

Pizza is my first prescription for everything.

I have a little twitch in back and I have a feeling tomorrow I'll be hurting, but the carpets look fabulous. The ones that are done, that is. Later in the week I'll need to tackle two more. Doing it right involves a lot of furniture moving, vacuuming and dusting all those crappy corners that are convenient to miss on routine cleaning. After I finish the carpets, it's clean-the-bathrooms time. Company coming in town this weekend !

:nopity:

Also, SophieMN sat at the table, covered her mouth, and then removed her hand long enough to say, "I'm covering up my mouth, because that's what I do when I taste something and my mouth thinks it tastes REALLY gross! Why do the raviolis taste like green beans?"

:banghead:

...but opted instead for Jack in the Box, because I loooooove their eggrolls, and they have this yummy chocolate cake... :7

I started on a healthier lifestyle last year, pizza has become my #1 crave. I thought I'd miss things like ice cream, pasta and other stuff way more but I really don't miss them at all. I've had one scoop of ice cream in the last 14 months, and I shared it with my husband. It was delicious, but I'm not dying to have more. And I have pasta once in a blue moon but I rarely *crave* it.

But pizza, oh dear maude. I feel like I could eat it every day and never stop wanting more. I usually make it myself with this extra thin whole wheat pita from a local bakery. It bakes up in the oven to the perfect flat-bread crispiness. I usually top it with fresh tomato, olive tapenade, goat cheese, fresh basil, asparagus, roasted garlic, chicken, and some good parmesan. Or sometimes just olive oil, tomato, and bacon bits or prosciutto. When it comes out of the oven I let some fresh arugula wilt on top. Holy boy it's delicious.

Every couple of weeks I just have to have some ultra-thin pizzeria pizza. Thankfully Chicago has finally caught on to the fact that there are other options besides deep dish (too much for me) and it just so happens that two of the best places for thin crust are walking distance from my house.

I'm going to Italy in October and I'm glad we'll be doing a lot of walking because I'm thinking there is going to be some kick-ass pizza in my future.
