The Post That Wasn't Supposed To Be About Frozen Pizza

I work the graveyard shift at the Retail Circus, 10pm-7am. I am off tonight--thank-you, Jesus--but still on that 3rd shift clock internally. (I only sleep normal people hours on vacay or if I am out of work because of illness.) It's about 3:30am in my lil' chunk of the Dirty South. If I were at work, I would be wrapping up my lunch break now, but thank-you Jesus once again, I am off, spending a leisurely late night/early morning watching cartoons, writing, and fixing dinner. Let's give it up for the multitasker.

My pallette isn't the most refined, actually it's obtuse 75% of the time, as evidenced by my love for frozen pizza, and it's what's for dinner tonight/this morning. I was born and raised on frozen pizza and any little pizza themed treat that came down the pike, i.e., pizza rolls. Now, my Mommy is a great cook, but even us lil' chilluns down South were suckers for those convenience foods with their bells and whistles advertising. I remember many days when my cousins and I got off the school bus in the afternoon and ran in my grandma's house to be regaled by a Chef Boyardee pizza, a Fox Deluxe or Totino's Party Pizza, or *clutch my pearls* Jeno's Pizza Rolls! Below are links to commercials for Jeno's Pizza Rolls that caused me to subject Mommy to a litany of "gimme's" and "I want summa dem's".

I am older now, and maybe my pallette is burned out, but I just don't find those brands appetizing anymore...especially Totino's, UGH!--sorry. I have graduated, if you will, to more high-quality frozen pizzas like Newman's Own, DiGiorno's, and my latest Food Lion discovery:


Yep, German frozen pizza...go figure. There's something kinda middle-man about that to this 'Merican, but it looked so appetizing on the box and before I cooked it, that I had to give It a go.





Welp, the verdict is in: Simply yummy! Pepperoni pizza with real mozerella, cherry tomato slices, AND pesto...wish I'd thought of that. (There are also meatless varietys in this brand, but Shellybird don't play that.) Pizza pepperoni pesto was something I really needed in my life...so is some good hot sex. When I stumble upon summa dat, there will be no pics. Sorry.
