OK, after a week-long series about human suffering and several days of nursing a sick wife, I am in need of a bit of levity.  So, humor me.

Since Cheryl has been under the weather and not having much of an appetite, it fell to me last night to fend for myself for dinner. Not having had a bite to eat all day long, I was getting hungry. The cupboard was a little bare and I decided to go in search of one of  my favorite comfort foods – pizza! Since I would be eating alone and would not have a chance to do leftovers the next day, I thought I would try one of the many brands of frozen pizza that are on display in the local super.

I had not had frozen pizza for years.  Now I remember why. It was horrible. The crust was mostly hard. and the pizza itself had a somewhat metallic taste that must have come from the funky little cardboard/foil contraption that the pizza sits on in the microwave. A quick Internet search of reviews pointed me to DiGiorno. So, if that was one of the better ones, then I thank God I didn’t try one of the lesser ones!

In case this ever comes up again, does anyone have any better suggestions? And, while we are talking pizza, what is your favorite take-away pizza (not sit down in a restaurant pizza). My three favorites at this moment are Minsky’s combo from the Main Street location south of The Plaza, Tim’s on 4o Highway and the deep dish Chicago style from Rosati’s on 103rd Street whenever I need to gain a couple of pounds.
