Let me just start off by saying, Don’t ever say I didn’t warn you.
If you come over to my house for dinner and I am cooking… Well let’s just say, pay attention to what you are eating.
Last night, I came home from work to the usual “What’s for dinner mom?” right as I walk in the door.
No, “Missed you today, Mom”, or “How was your day, Mom” Nope, straight for the I-don’t-care-if-you-are-tired-and-just-want-to-relax-for-a-minute “What’s for dinner, Mom?”. I guess that’s the life of the working mom. You gotta bring home the bacon AND fry it up in a pan without missing a beat.
Anyway, on last nights menu was Frozen Cheese Pizza.
Don’t judge. It is quick, easy, and since it has no meat, fairly healthy. 1/3 of a Digiorno 4 cheese pizza only has 270 calories. That works out to about 3 small pieces.
So, I turn on the oven to preheat, walk into the bedroom to drop off my purse. Where Hubby greets me with “Hi Honey, I’m starving, what’s for dinner?” Arghh!
I then go back into the kitchen and take the pizza out the plastic, put it on a pizza pan and stick it in the oven. Then for the next 23 minutes while the pizza is baking, I go to the bedroom and help Hubby study for the Lieutenants test.
23 minutes later, take the pizza out of the oven and start slicing it up with a pizza cutter. Only it is not slicing all the way through. I keep cutting and cutting and nothing is happening. So I carefully lift the edge of the pizza up to see if I burned the bottom so bad the pizza is inedible (I’ve never done THAT before) and I see… nothing. Nice brown bottom of the pizza.
Oh, Wait!
That is not the bottom of the pizza, that is the cardboard the pizza came on!
Hey, I was just trying to work in that extra fiber my family needs in their diet.
Again, don’t say I didn’t ever warn you.
