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?

It is odd, isn't it. I wouldn't have offered kids both of those as "a meal".

I've heard of families who sometimes had just popcorn for the evening meal. That always seemed odd, too. For as long as I remember I've thought in terms of "protein, vitamens etc". I end up eating a lot of junk, at times, but I habitually "lay down a base" of healthy food.

Ok! I guess that isn't so different from the evening when I have oatmeal for dinner. And. . .after all. . .we're grownups and get to eat what we want. Right?

My mom likes popcorn and a milkshake for supper, occasionally.
