You oughta know by now how much I love you

Several weeks ago unscrambled and I made a weekend beach date for this past Saturday. When it came time, I didn't really want to be at the beach, plus the weather was more grey and muted, but still, I decided I'm going to wear a Summer Outfit. So I busted out my green/yellow seersucker pants (which I rolled up to my calves), a white button down short sleeve (mormon) shirt, and sleazy gold sunglasses I first purchased to be Gregg Allman for halloween one year. We walked up to Moody's pub and ate giant burgers and drank a gallon of adult fruit punch. When I showed up later that night to Liza's house, her first words before hello were "you look like you're going to a garden party.....where Peabo Bryson is playing." Yeah, that's about right.

Today, after the usual business of e-mails and writing and whatnot, I did a ritual baptism; fussed with some essential oils in practice, research, and ordering online; folded and put away all the laundry; and danced in my underwear to all the George Benson I have downloaded on my computer. Its supposed to be hot and muggy all week, so I predict there might be other days like this where I don't stray too far from the air conditioned rooms in the house and engage in bizarre behavior. Except tomorrow I have an 8 am appointment to finish this root canal that got started months ago. I'm not too thrilled about it, but then again, who gets excited by a root canal? Except maybe the dentist. Ok, I will attend to make the dentist happy.

This morning I had leftover frozen pizza for my second breakfast (or early lunch, depending) and thought maybe the reason frozen pizza instructions always insist that pizza "must be cooked entirely before eating", is because some person who loves cold pizza thought maybe they could skip some steps and just slightly heat up a frozen pizza. Cause that's one of those ideas that's sort of both genius and ridiculous.

I should have done my Peabo Bryson imitation while I was spilling a glass of water on you. Or, maybe while I was throwing maraschino cherries at you. Next time!

My theory about why the frozen pizza makers tell you to warm up the pizza thoroughly is that they hope you burn it, so that you don't notice how bad it is.

Why is frozen pizza so bad? Theoretically, it should be excellent, or at least pretty good. Pasta sauce freezes well. Pizza dough freezes well. Sausage, spinach, etc.--all freeze well, or reasonably well. Cheese doesn't freeze that well, but we're not talking real Camembert, so what is the issue? I never understand.

Also, links to the relevant recipes in the times. Sour cherry season is over, but I may make it with frozen ones. The brandied ones, that's for sure. Though, I may make them with bourbon, because I love bourbon the mostest.

I think the problem is that you are mistaking frozen pizza for pizza. They are two different foods and you must accept them separately for who they are and where they are at.

Also, I vote for you making the bourbon soaked cherries, because they would be extra delicious in manhattans.

I guess my question is, why isn't frozen pizza more like pizza? I think it could be.

Yes, the bourbon strategy was motivated by the manhattan. But I think cognac would be good in the same preparation. We'll see.

I am hilariously spot-on, n'est-ce pas?
