OCD Pizza

After a series of mishaps, P and I needed something quick, comforting and hot for dinner. Enter Domino's Pizza and their Two for Tuesday deal. Pepperoni on one, mushrooms on the other. When we opened the pepperoni box, I had to take a picture. Look how incredibly carefully someone has put exactly three pieces of pepperoni on every slice! Maybe this is how Domino's does their pizza, but I've never seen anything like this before. Thank you, Domino's pizza maker, for being so detail-oriented so no one feels like their piece of pizza has less pepperoni than another.

The wonders of delivery in New York - if it's freezing outside and you still want Korean food, just use Seamless Web.  K, D and I ordered a feast - seafood pancake (pictured), kimchi fried rice, spicy tofu and vegetable stew, kal-bi-tang (a short rib soup with glass noodles), and kalbi jjim (short ribs braised with daikon and carrot). Pretty decent for delivery Korean, even though the pancake was thicker than I'm used to and was a little limp after steaming in its container, and the tofu/veggie stew had a lot of unexpected jalapenos in it. Certainly beats going out in sub-zero temperatures.

With the help of D, A and I attempted some DIY bathroom remodeling - it took what seemed like forever and were it not for D we might still be working on it (and I would probably have thrown several more tantrums at the *$&! tiles). Obviously during this process we had to eat something so we ordered pizza from Base Pizza which delivered two piping hot large pizzas to us in about 45 minutes. Their large pizzas are really large, I think about 18 inches across, and stuffed four people to the gills. One was the Sorrentina, with red peppers, sun dried tomates, olives, aubergine and mozzarella, and the other was the Americana, with sausage, salami, pepperoni, chilli, peppers and mozzarella. They were on thin crusts and were actually quite tasty for delivery pizza - so much better than I was expecting (but perhaps they also tasted better since they were the first real food we had in 12 hours). Next time I have a giant pizza craving I will order from them again.
