mom
taken a few years ago but nice flower growing up the side of satchel’s pizza… i’ve been wanting to print a book from the blog posts for some time but haven’t been able to figure out how. lots of sites do this sort of thing but my blog was hosted at the wrong place which prevented me from “slurping” it, as it is called. brent came through again and figured out how to make it happen. and my good ol’ mom has agreed to do the time consuming job of organizing the text and images for book form. i like printed media. i still don’t trust digital media like i probably should. will my kids be more likely to go back and read my archived blogs, or pick up a coffee table book and thumb through it? you may think they would go on the computer and you may be right, but my gut says the printed book is still more powerful and meaty.
have you ever got a pizza someplace, anyplace, and the slices weren’t cut all the way through so you had to pull them apart or maybe you try and use your butter knife to separate them? this drives me nuts. we have sharp pizza cutters in the kitchen, when we cut a pizza we should cut it all the way through. press firmly and cut slowly. but often times the person cutting is hurrying and the job doesn’t get done properly.
which makes me think about the fact that we don’t cut our pizzas after 5pm, because we assume people will take them home and can cut them there. this simple non cutting will make for a crispier pizza. when it’s cut the juices flow down and sog out the crust, especially since the pizza box is a steamy hot place. this is maybe the smartest and the dumbest thing we do all wrapped into one policy. can you imagine how mad people are when they get someplace without a knife and the pies aren’t cut? i know our pies have been ripped apart many times. it’s a decision i constantly struggle with. to cut or not to cut take out pies. we have really mad customers sometimes so i should probably just cut them all, but then, i know the product is better for the folks who cut out what they want at home, or who cut slices as big or little as they want. anyway. i’m a bit insane. these things make my mind flutter.
