...but there was big pizza pie. Seven big pizza pies to be exact. Today our homeschooling group took a field trip to the local pizza parlor. The owner took the kids on a tour of the kitchen, showing them the counters, brick ovens, huge mixers used to make the dough and fresh cheese, where the dough proofs, and the big walk-in cooler (which may have been the kids' favorite part of the trip, not counting chowing down on pizza). Pizza dough was spun in the air, then topped and baked, and all the kids got a bit of pizza dough to play with while they were eating. Yes, most of them ended up taking at least one bite of the raw dough. We had plenty of pizza there, and brought enough home for dinner for two. A nice way to spend the afternoon.While we were waiting for field trip time, we walked through the antique shop next door. Sumokid got a red glass bead bracelet, and I got a nice bit of shiny glass. I coveted much of the depression and milk glass. There was also a really cool pair of brass dragon and lead crystal candlesticks that I told the husband I wouldn't mind having for our upcoming anniversary or my birthday, but then I changed my mind. They are seriously cool, but I need more bric-a-brac, particularly of the $55 needs to be polished type, like I need a whole in the head. We're getting over being sick, which means we missed the wedding of a friend of ours this weekend. I had insomnia last night, which means I had maybe three hours' worth of sleep, but I did get to finish my new book. On the plus side, the book was very good and I devoured it in a single read. On the not so plus side, that leaves only one more of this series to savor until the fourth book hits stores next year. Why can't the writers I like produce at a rate which keeps up with my reading? Sigh.Husband is well. Sumokid is outgrowing all of her winter clothes, which means shopping on the near horizon. She's at an awkward juncture, clothes-wise.Mom tells me a contract has been signed on my grandmother's house. I hope this sale goes through, because she's getting really worn down handling this particular aspect of the estate. I think this is pretty much all that's left though, fortunately.Except for being tired, I'm pretty good too.
