Pizza

Let's have a discussion about Pizza, shall we?
Now I think you know how picky I am about what I eat. And of course, pizza is no exception. Although I know some people would actually come to  a down and out no hold barred fight when it comes to whatever is the best kind of pizza. I say, if you like it then eat it. We aren't always going to have the same taste.
Here is my idea of a perfect pizza. I like a super thin crust. Like eating off of a cracker practically. Topped with regular amounts of cheese and marinara. And then Canadian bacon, and extra black olives. Now, that is my perfect pizza. I like to think as far as pizza goes it's a pretty simple way to enjoy that carb filled delight.
That being said when I ordered pizza one night that isn't exactly what I ordered. What I ordered was a personal pizza. With Canadian bacon, or ham to be more accurate and extra black olives. Not too far off from what I like but I was trying to practice some control here. That tiny little pizza is worth about two slices of real pizza.
What was delivered to me, (and I'm sorry I did not take a picture). Was a medium thick crust pizza. What is this thing before me? I was thinking small and this thing is huge. At least they got the toppings right.
Well, I decided. There it is, I might as well eat it. So I ate my two slices of thick Canadian bacon and black olive pizza. And it was okay. But it wasn't what I expected. Fortunately I am able to be flexible. Sometimes.
And I put all of the leftover pizza in the freezer for the next time I get a hankering for that. Because sometimes I even impress myself. 
To be honest, the only reason I even ordered the pizza was because I wanted wings. Somewhere in my crazy little brain I seem to think it's wrong to order from a pizza place without ordering pizza. I wanted wings but ordered pizza just because it seems wrong not to. I can't even figure that out myself.
So I ate and I was satisfied. My hunger was anyway. But I can't say I was happy.  I guess my point is, food can be very enjoyable. And it is quite often for me. But it does have a purpose. Sometimes it's just there to give us nutrition and we eat it and we move on and that's just the way life is. Live life. Enjoy life. Not always the same thing. This was just one instance where things could have went a little bit better, or more enjoyable. Alas, there will be many more meals along the way.
Until next time.
Eat well.
