I'd like to briefly summarize the Week of Pizza.
12/26 Monday: We chose to spend our post-Christmas psuedo holiday at the theater with Pack and Ashley. After enjoying the film, P&A invited us over to their dwelling for some Dr. Mario, as is customary this time of year. While we were manipulating multi-colored medicine to mitigate malicious microbes, Ashley suggested that we order some Papa John's. I didn't know it at the time, but this was the beginning of something special.
12/27 Tuesday: With family in town, a few of my cousins and I gathered at Mike's house for some old timey Halo 1. Naturally a rendezvous of this sort involves pizza, and Mike opened our eyes to Sweet Home Chicago's stuffed pizza. Not stuffed crust, stuffed pizza. It's the most delicious pizza I've tasted. Even in a week full of pizza, this remains a singular dining experience.
12/28 Wednesday: I missed a birthday party at work, but I wasn't about to miss the leftover Little Caesar's in the fridge. In fact, I discovered said pizza at around 8:38 AM and was consuming it by no later than 8:39 AM. Even still I was completely oblivious that the Week of Pizza was upon me.
12/29 Thursday: I first noticed that something strange was happening when Big C found a coupon in his desk. He had earned $20 of free pizza at NYPD Pizza as a sales incentive earlier in the year. Big C's timing was great because the coupon expired in just two days. He offered to take the sales team out to lunch. We ordered the thin crust meat lover's, and though my taste buds endorsed the product, my stomach was beginning to openly question my dietary choices. What my stomach didn't understand is that I didn't choose the Week of Pizza, it chose me.
12/30 Friday: Cassidie and I realized that this was bigger than pizza. Something we didn't fully understand had orchestrated the Week of Pizza and we didn't dare interrupt it. That's why Cassidie made pizza for dinner that night. She really outdid herself, it was the most delicious pizza she's ever made. Stuffed crust, pepperoni, sausage, red and yellow bell peppers. In fact, if I hadn't been to Sweet Home Chicago earlier that week, it would have been the best pizza of the week. Sorry Cass.
12/31 Saturday: The Week of Pizza culminated at my grandpa's house as Utah took on Georgia Tech in the Sun Bowl. For my grandpa and me, it was our first time in three years not attending Utah's bowl game. But Dominos pizza to finish the Week of Pizza is not a bad consolation prize. Though I embraced pizza mentally now more than ever, my stomach in open rebellion. After three pieces I was done eating food for the rest of the day.
And so, like all good things, the Week of Pizza has come to and end. But as I ponder what to have for lunch, I can't help but think about the leftover Dominos in the fridge. . .
