Tonight we were all feeling too lazy to cook, so we decided to cook up the DiGiorno’s frozen pizza we have had in the freezer for a couple of weeks. It was the rising crust three meat pizza. I had my doubts about whether or not I would like it, but I have to tell you that it was really very good. So good in fact that I’ve put it on the shopping list to buy more. And chances are pretty good that we’ll be eating that pizza a lot more in the future instead of going to the pizza restaurant that costs double the amount that the frozen pizza cost!
I’ve tried their thin crispy crust pizza and didn’t like it at all, so I’m really glad I like their rising crust pizza! It’s nice to know I can have a few of them in the freezer for future times we don’t feel like cooking anything complicated!
Today I went out to the store to buy some nice flowers to put on my grandfather’s grave. He is buried in a nearby cemetery; he was a veteran of the Korean war. He died in his early 50’s of cancer - a very misterious thing since he was a health nut that never smoked. We think now that his cancer was caused by his possible exposure to some dangerous chemicals while he was serving in the war. Be that as it may, I plan to go to the cemetery tomorrow with my grandmother to put some flowers on his grave. I hope the weather is nice!
Had to go to the pharmacy today to buy some allergy medicine. What a huge pain in the neck it is to have to go to the counter and present your driver’s license and ask permission to buy allergy medicine! They have to put your name and address and license number and gender and phone number in their database, and then they will only allow you to buy a certain allotment per month. And that allotment is NOT enough to get you through the month! What a huge pain this is, and all because some meth heads use this kind of medicine to make their illegal drugs. What is even more annoying is knowing that they also use drain cleaner and water softener salt to make their drugs, but you don’t have to register to buy THOSE products (yet!)
There was a nationwide recall of garlic bread in Australia, including the garlic bread sold by Domino’s Pizza. The recall happened because the bread turned blue when it was baked. The company that makes the garlic bread says that they don’t believe that the bread is a health hazard, but recalled it anyway. They have no explanation as to why it turns blue, they think it has something to do with the type of garlic that they used for this particular batch. I don’t think that makes a lot of sense, I’ve never heard of garlic turning blue when it is baked - and if there WAS a garlic that turns blue when baked it seems to me that would be widely known in the culinary arts industry to begin with. I think it sounds fishy to me!
Well, we are going to have to flip a coin. My wife and I want to see both the Mama Mia movie and the Dark Knight movie today but we can’t see both! Maybe we’ll just have to go down to the movie theater and see which one has seats available! I’d prefer to see the Dark Knight movie but don’t know if we can get in - I’ve heard that there are really long lines to see it!
