It is Friday February 9th it is a Day made JUST FOR ME!!! I mean it is National Pizza Day, National Chocolate Day AND National Read in the Bathtub Day!!! Can the day get any better? I might throw in that it is also National Toothache day BUT I suppose that is just because it is National Chocolate Day… The two go hand in hand IF you celebrate a little too much… I was once told you can tell a lot about a person by what they like on their pizza. I am here to admit that I am a total believer in pineapple on pizza AND I absolutely love green olives on pizza. I really think putting sausage is a waste of everyones time, because you have to pick it off but other than that I can accept most anything else. Pepperoni always is my favorite meat. In our house we usually get half of one concoction and the other half is all my favs. Don’t judge!!! But I will say, once the pizza cardboard top is lifted never has there been a time when everyone just wants to try one slice of mine AND the response is ALWAYS now that’s not so bad!!! The sweet the salty and the mouthwatering combination of everything else mixed in… Oh my goodness I bet you can guess what we are having for dinner tonight. I am sooo excited!!!! No dishes, a warm pizza pie and chocolate for dessert… Like I said, can life be much better.
