First off, I know it’s been quite some time since I posted anything. I apologize – it’s been a hectic few weeks at work and we’ve eaten out a little more than we should have. As a working woman who just assumed new responsibilities at her job (new AND more responsibilities), it’s been difficult to be the wife I should be in my off-time. Whoever decided that work-life balance was a possibility obviously didn’t have much ambition.
Today is Friday. I haven’t cooked at home since Monday, when I made another successful lasagna, garlic bread and zucchini meal. Tuesday, I picked up Little Caesar’s after Bible study (it’s hard to come home and cook when you’ve been gone from 8:30 in the morning to 8:30 in the evening); Wednesday, we ate leftovers. Thursday, I introduced Dustin and Thomas to the Cavalier – the best burger and fries in Lynchburg (though my husband, who constantly dances to the beat of a different drummer, insisted on ordering the clam strips). Tonight, I finally made BBQ chicken pizza using the best homemade pizza dough.
Though I ate alone this evening, this pizza was AWESOME. Last time I made pizza with the best homemade pizza dough recipe, I froze half, so I was prepared for tonight. The frozen dough takes about two days to thaw. I made this dinner as easy as possible by shredding a rotisserie chicken and using pre-made barbecue sauce (KC Masterpiece was on-hand). The hardest parts were cutting the red onion and stretching the dough into a circle (slightly asymmetrical, of course).
And even though I ate alone, the men in the house eventually followed their noses to my kitchen and gave two great reviews.
Thomas’s review: “Two thumbs and two big toes up.”
Dustin’s review: “It’s not delivery, it’s my wife!”
