HomeMade Pizza

A buddy of mine, Filip, lives in Poland and has a kick ass band over there. We keep in touch on Facebook and I get a kick out of seeing the photos of things over there. It’s not that different from America in a lot of ways.

I didn’t want to sound like a schmuck, but I went ahead and asked him what some things are like and what things are different over in Poland compared to America. He says all the same movies like Disney and Warner Brothers are released over there, but all the voices are dubbed over by Polish actors. They don’t even try to find an actor that sounds close to the original English speaking actors – I wonder how the Polish actors get those gigs? It would be easy work – no real acting – just talking into a microphone and reading from  a script.

Last night Filip posted Instagram photos of his home made pizza. It was not round like our traditional pizzas over here, he made it a big rectangle that fit in a cookie sheet kind of pan. He has a gas oven, so I wonder if that oven gets hotter than my electric one? I wonder if the gas gives it a better flavor than an electric oven?

His home made pizza was completely homemade – the dough was made in their kitchen and even the pizza sauce was made from fresh tomatoes. I was impressed and it looked great! I’ve never tried to make a pizza completely from scratch before. But now he has inspired me – if Fili and his wife can make a big pizza at home – why can’t I?

Scrounging the Break Room for Lunch

Can’t get out of here for lunch, so I guess I’ll be hitting the break room and looking around for whatever I can grab. Or vending machine crap.

Either that or I have to order pizza and have it delivered. The problem with ordering pizza is that you can never order it just for yourself. You have to walk around and offer a share of the pizza with everyone in the office. Sometimes I end up buying 5 pizzas, and then its a pain in the ass to collect money back from people. I work with a big bunch of moochers. Why am I the only one who orders pizza and takes a hit on the bill?

Whats for Dinner?

Just got home from work and was so tired that I wasn’t even thinking about what to do about dinner. I was just focused on getting the hell home and away from the job site. I got home and pulled open the refrigerator door and found almost nothing in there that can be nuked or even baked for my dinner.

I think I’ll just order pizza tonight. I haven’t done that in a long time, but I can order two or three and get a discount, then pop them into freezer bags and just pull out a slice or two when I want it over the next week or two.
