Pleasing Pizza
For the past two weeks I have been eating nothing but pizza (except at breakfast time, though I have considered it). I LOVE pizza, and here are the reasons why:
1) It contains all four food groups: vegetables/fruit, milk/milk products, meat/protein, bread/cereals.
2) It is fantastically delicious
3) It is mighty simple to throw together (an asset during exam time)
4) You can put ANYTHING on a pizza…so it never gets boring. Seriously, if someone can name one topping that would not work on a pizza, I will give you a prize (keep in mind that there is such a thing as dessert pizza…so fruit and chocolate are not out of the running).
I sometimes shake my head at recipe books that contain recipes for pizza…here’s my recipe: figure out what you are craving, and then put whatever that is on top of a pizza shell.
But…in case anyone is at wit’s end as to what sort of pizza to create, this is what typically ends up on mine:
-Tomato sauce and/or light Ranch dressing
-Shrimp and/or tofu (thanks to Heidi for steering me away from red meat)
-Jalapeño peppers (thanks to David for encouraging the use of anything spicy)
-Tomato pieces (ditch the juicy/seedy part…it’ll make your pizza pie a soggy mess)
-Green peppers (important to incorporate a colour other than red to make your supper esthetically pleasing)
-Old cheddar cheese
-Avocado and/or artichokes (trust me on this one)
Cheers!

would you put eggs on a pizza?
or what about pancake syrup?
raisins?
cat food?
chow-mein noodles?
...i really want a prize...
:)
I think it would be possible to put eggs on a pizza, if one were concocting a breakfast pizza. Think salsa, scrambled eggs, cheese, back bacon, and peppers. Something like a frittata. I'm not sure cat food would count, since one wouldn't eat it, pizza or not. Perhaps another reader would like to tackle chow mein noodles and raisins?
Thai pizza has noodles on it, though probably not chow mein noodles. Raisins = definitely gross.
OK...here's what I've got so far:
1) Apple Cider Vinegar is appalling and gross. Don't let it or anything containing it near your pizza.
2) Some cereal is pretty iffy too - you can keep your bran flakes or wheat-a-bix off my pizza, thanks very much.
3) Toast. That's a little Capernwray-esque to be enjoyable. Toast does not go on pizza (or quiche for that matter).
4) Gobstoppers or Jawbreakers should not go on your dessert pizza, and obviously not on the normal kind. Only immediately chewable items should go on a pizza.
5) This may only be personal, but I think rice on a pizza would be gross ... and probably most kinds of pasta too. No rotini pizzas for me please.
6) My room-mate's ichiban/bread burritos. Those rank right down there with apple cider vinegar. Don't go there, and don't put it on a pizza.
and that's all for now. But I must confess, it is pretty sweet to get to think about pointless things like this again. School is a distant memory ... 2 hours of freedom does a mind much good. :o)
Okay Ryan...you win the prize. The prize is: you get the pleasure of helping us move millions of boxes on Saturday morning. Woo hoo! See you then!
Enjoy your freedom...lucky bum!
Woo-Hoo! I won! But since I'm rad and nice I'm going to donate my prize to someone who wants it really-really badly: my friend Brier. She even said so! And I quote, "...i really want a prize...". There. Proof! So yeah, bri, if you read this, you've got your Saturday morning booked up now. ;o) Have a good time!
that's IT! I'm never entering a contest again when i only get the reject prize from ryan. Ryan, as much as i'd LOVE to hang out with Kathryn (moving boxes or no), my geographical location prohibits it, as does my financial situation (that is, the lack of finances altogether). you can KEEP your prize. ;) with love.
