• His & hers & hugs

    Dinner tonight was a test in creativity.  We had a pizza crust (whole wheat from Boboli) and we had cheese.  The rest was a big question mark.

    I like marinara sauce on mine, but Mark really doesn’t.  The solution was His & Hers pizza.  On Mark’s half: raspberry-chipotle barbeque sauce, hot banana peppers, red pepper flakes, chicken, mozzarella cheese, and rosemary.

    I smelled the rosemary cooking and I said, “Did you really put rosemary on your barbeque pizza?”  Yes, he did.  I had a bite – it was hot (spicy), sour, and sweet.  Not my thing.  Actually, I thought it was pretty gross.  He said, “This is the best pizza I have ever made.”

    Maybe mine wasn’t as creative.  But it tasted good.  Mine was made with marinara sauce, mozzarella, italian seasoning, minced garlic and light cream cheese.

    Yum. 

    The weirdest but best thing I ever had on a pizza was mashed potatoes on thin crust pizza in (ironically) Chicago.  I didn’t think I was going to like it but it was really good.

    What’s the weirdest thing you’ve ever had on a pizza?

    My husband taught our dog Ada to give him a hug.  She does it whenever he comes home and he says “Where’s my hug?”  So cute.

     

    Since I’m so short, she clobbers me when she does it. It’s one of my favorite tricks that she can do. :)

    Yesterday, I got a traffic ticket.  I was not really happy about it – I got it on my way home.  The officer, however, was a pretty nice guy. 

    Later, we went to get dinner at a restaurant in town and we parked next to a cop’s patrol car.  Inside, one of the cops looked a lot like the one that pulled me over. 

    I have strong opinions about law enforcement after handling hundreds of criminal defense cases and traffic tickets.  One of my many strong opinions is that cops have one of the hardest and most underappreciated jobs in the U.S.  I would hate to have to spend my day pulling people over – that moment almost inevitably becomes the driver’s worst moment of their day, and cops get the brunt of it.  There is no doubt in my mind that has to become old real fast.  The worst of law enforcement reacts in the worst way.  But there are some good cops.  I think that the cops probably deserved a boost that day.  So I decided to leave the cop an Operation Beautiful note.

    I was a little afraid they were going to come out and taser me or something while I was doing this :)   I hope it made their day a little easier.

    At least I promoted Operation Beautiful if nothing else.
