pizza

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?

nooooooooooo no desert. I eat three pieces if I am hungry and the rest goes in the fridge to nibble on cold. I don't eat anything else with it because I have to really guzzle the water. I am not used to all the salt, and pizza with all that water on top of it swells me up for a few days.

One of the standard public school lunches in this area is pizza, french fries and a fruit cup (loads of sugar) and it horrifies me.

Pizza *and* french fries? That's more wrong than pizza and ice cream!

Public school pizza horrifies me all on its own.

I agree... fish and chips is bad enough, but who in their right mind comes up with FRENCH FRIED POTATOES to go with pizza??? I think when I was in school (in ancient times) they had corn with pizza. Still a carb, but a carb that isn't fried.

School lunch went to hell when the Republicans made catsup a vegetable. Tomatoes aren't even vegetables.
