pizza

[low_delta]

Cyn and I were at the pizza place down the street. A young mother and her mother were trying to keep the two rambunctious boys in control. At one point, the grandmother said, "if you don't get over here and eat your pizza, you don't get any ice cream!"

I found this to be a strange thing to say, because I didn't think you should get dessert if your dinner was pizza. But I guess that's just the way I was raised. So I started thinking about it. Maybe I don't get dessert after pizza because I've always just stuffed myself with it. Lately I don't eat that much, but I feel pizza is fattening enough by itself. But I still don't want to eat anything sweet after that because of all the cheese and grease and tomato and spicy pepperoni.

What about you? What are your pizza eating habits? How much do you eat, and do you have dessert afterwards?

Oh, no, don't even get me started about the eating habits of children these days, argh!!!

I rarely have dessert after any meal any more, let alone after pizza. I eat pizza maybe once a month. R eats it more often but mostly not at my house. If we have pizza at my house she'll eat fruit afterward if she's still hungry, but not dessert (which she eats more often elsewhere, too).

Very often, fruit *was* dessert at my house when I was growing up.

I didn't like pizza until I was a teenager.

You didn't like hotdogs either. I seem to remember you saying you still don't like them, or is that Heather?

I'll eat them, but I'd rather not if I can help it. I used to love eating them until I found out what's in them.

I hated peanut butter and also chocolate ice cream when I was a kid, but I eat them now.

You were a strange child.

Yeah, fruit was and still is often dessert at my house.

At R's last birthday party - the sleepover at her dad's - he provided pizza and soda (aka pop!), followed by ice cream birthday cake! That would not have happened at my house, even for a birthday party.
