\"\"<\/a>Hello pretties!\u00a0 How’s everyone’s week been and are you looking forward to the weekend?\u00a0 I am for sure and I hope it’s a relaxing one because dang, we need it up in here!<\/p>\n

Also, Happy Friday the 13th!\u00a0 I am hoping that Scott and I will watch some cheesy horror movies!\u00a0 We love cheesy horror movies and used to watch them all the time in our earlier courtin’ days.\u00a0 One thing we watched was on SciFi (I’m sorry, it’s very hard for me to actually type out SyFy and not want to roll my eyes) and it came on every Friday night.\u00a0 It was called, Full Moon Fright Night<\/a> and it was hosted by William Shatner.\u00a0 It was a night full of cheesy B horror movies.\u00a0 Friday nights rocked at our house!\u00a0 Sometimes we would order in Chinese and then hang out all night watching movies.<\/p>\n

Oh memories!\u00a0 To bad that isn’t still on anymore!<\/p>\n

Okay moving along to pizza!\u00a0 We got take-out.<\/p>\n

I know!\u00a0 Have you picked yourself up off the floor yet?\u00a0 Kay, good.\u00a0 Yesterday went by at lightening speed.\u00a0 I had so much work to get done both professionally and around the house.\u00a0 Then I got slammed with not feeling well.\u00a0 Like, I wanted to curl up in bed and yell profanities till the achy went buh-bye.\u00a0 Therefore no pizza prep happened and we ordered pizza out.\u00a0 We tried a new place close to us called Enrico’s, which is the menu above.\u00a0 I know that is supposed to be a mushroom on the menu but, well, yeah.\u00a0 I’m just letting that go.\u00a0 Anyway, here is now a perfect example of why I prefer making my own pizza and why I don’t really care for many pizza joints in Columbus.<\/p>\n

Disclaimer: I realize there are a few fab joints in Columbus that I would love to try but they are a long distance away from me, making them not conducive to late night pizza demands. <\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Issue 1:<\/strong> For some reason, Columbus does not seem to like the red onion.\u00a0 Any onion on pizza seems to be white and red is somehow cast aside like your third cousin with the lisp and buckteeth.\u00a0 I like red onion, Columbus, let’s try and get it on pizzas.<\/p>\n

Issue 2:<\/strong> Lack of veg options.\u00a0 I like spinach, and broccoli, and tomatoes, and carrots and fun things!\u00a0 Olives and fungus do not count as veggies in my book.\u00a0 Pizza joints also do not want to embrace the veggies leaving me no choice but to get nutritionally devoid cheese pizza.<\/p>\n

Issue 3:<\/strong> And this is my BIGGEST complaint; the way Columbus likes to cut their pizzas.\u00a0 In odd shapes that make no sense and have zero functionality.\u00a0 It’s like giving the pizza cutter to your drunk Uncle Jeb once you know he’s made a dent in that Natty Light case and asking him to cut you a slice.\u00a0 You get pizza slices made from the crazy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Case in point.\u00a0 Let’s see, we have a triangle corner piece, that’s interesting.\u00a0 A triangle that seems to form a corner on a round object.\u00a0 Mmmmkay then.\u00a0 And over there are some strange oblong shaped pieces which seem totally reasonable next to those wee square middle pieces that are perfect for when you just want a small bite of the pizza.\u00a0 Right out of the middle.\u00a0 Just a small bite, right exactly from the middle of the pizza.\u00a0 Nothing satisfies quite like the small middle bite, am I right?<\/p>\n

Also that triangle corner piece, making everything stable and holding down the fort?\u00a0 No cheese.\u00a0 Just some sauce but no cheese. Well if it had cheese then the whole pizza dynamic would be thrown off and chaos would ensue.\u00a0 Or so I’m assuming because otherwise I’m sort of at a loss here.<\/p>\n

I really just want some dang normal-sized triangle pieces of pizza topped with veggies and some red onion.<\/p>\n

Now you know why we make our own pizza at the HQ.<\/p>\n

Of course we watched Antiques Roadshow last night while eating our geometry lesson.\u00a0 Biggest take of the night?\u00a0 A Native American wooden bowl carved in the shape of a raven and used to hold fat from some animal clocked in at between $150-$200 THOUSAND dollars.\u00a0 Like whoa, right?!<\/p>\n

Anyone else grab some pizza?<\/strong> :D<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
