We ordered dinner from Papa John's tonight. I always order it online, now, so I don't have to talk to the cashier, pretty pathetic, huh. I was still surfing the web when it arrived, incredibly quick. We devoured it just as quickly.
But the pizza got me thinking how we used to have pizza every Friday night. It started on the farm where my goal was to make homemade pizza taste just like Pizza Hut's. That didn't happen. But I learned a few tricks along the way, until we moved to Hays and could order Pizza Hut any time we wanted it and it came right to the house!
Its not a Friday tradition anymore, the kids have all moved on and I don't even think they eat pizza that much. We order it occasionally, or we go to Papa Murphy's and bring the pizza home to bake in our own oven. Never would I have imagined that you could get me to pay for pizza that's not even baked! I'm not knocking it, its pretty good pizza!
Its sad that we have to drop some traditions and I think that was what I was really missing tonight. Its not Friday and its just Glen and I and the dogs, no family around the table, wolfing down the pizza before it all disappears.
But pizza isn't all that healthy for us. I would settle for family dinners every Friday night. Maybe we should start Salad Night!!!
Well, I'm eating a salad as I type this (it's lunch time) but of course I'd rather be eating a pizza! Dylan and I will order pizza every once in awhile, and it's still one of my favorite foods, but I do miss the Friday night family pizza dinners. I especially remember when the Pizza Hut truck would come to Natoma and we would have pizza after a basketball game.
ReplyDeleteHow do I not remember the Pizza hut truck? Some one fill me in.
ReplyDeleteI really miss friday night pizza night as well. Even when it was just Ma, Pa and I in Olathe. Papa John's pig out!
I remember the cheeseburger pizza that we used to buy from Dillon's, until dad decided he could make it better, and actually did.
Sadly I'm not eating carbs for the time being, I will have to feed of memories.
I still eat pizza...A LOT! But it isn't the same without Friday night tradition :(.
