Yesterday around 2 we talked to our son, at USC, to see if he was coming home, for there was left over homemade pizza to be had. He said he'd probably be home later in the afternoon, maybe pretty soon, because he hadn't had lunch yet. He said he didn't know if he'd bring anybody with him or not. . . . . hard say. . . . he'd let us know. At 7:13 pm, he calls, he's on his way, he'll be home in 20 minutes. . . with 7 others to have the pizza we'd told him about. Uh oh, we had 2 small halves left. Luckily, I was fixing to make some flat bread from a recipe I saw on Serious Eats. Alice had me make that into two pizza crusts, and we had a store bought crust in the fridge. We scrounged in the freezer, pantry and fridge to come up with these toppings: ground beef, pepperoni, chopped black olives, cheddar cheese, mozzarella cheese, thin sliced green tomates, onions, mushrooms, Peruvian Hot Pepper Paste, Sun Dried Tomato Pesto, and Alice's Homemade Spaghetti Sauce. We blenderized the spaghetti sauce, since it is pretty chunky, and had everything set out on the kitchen table when the kids blasted in. For a bit they just kind of milled around looking at the ingredients. Then they started creating. They made one cheesy vegetarian pizza (Sunny: "No, take some of the cheddar off. It needs way more mozzarella."), one MAN PIZZA -lots of meat and the pepper paste(thanks to Jay-bird from Memphis) and one mostly normal pizza. With home-canned Lexington peaches and imported pears (from Williamston, SC) sweet tea, some peach-blackberry smoothies, and a spice cake one of the girls brought(YEA! SARAH!), I believe they were well content. At 9:09 they were pullling out of the driveway! They did say thank you and they helped bring the dirty dishes into to kitchen. WHOOSH!
