I am honestly not sure what happened on 10/14/15. It is possible that 10/15/15 is supposed to be 10/14. Somehow I lost a day here... oh well.
10/15/15: Last night when I got home from work I made chicken-bacon-garlic pizza. I failed to season the sauce so it was a little bland (that is my weakness in cooking, it seems). But the crust got nice and crispy so that was a plus. I accidentally grabbed two containers of this pizza for lunch and dinner today (instead of mixing it up with different leftovers) but it was still good warmed up in the microwave! I cut the pizza into fancy squares and forgot to take a picture of the whole thing so here's a picture of just a little slice.
10/16/15: On Friday I had some delicious brick oven leftovers for lunch. Then I got home and I was really hungry so I made chili pizza. Eileen (my roommate) made chili and it smelled DELICIOUS. My other roomie Amanda suggested I make a cornbread crust and top it with chili and cheese. My roommates are culinary geniuses and the pizza was delicious. I ate one piece before Liz came over and we ended up at Mesa (her first time!!). It was glorious.
10/17/15: Chili pizza leftovers today. I think for lunch and dinner... I can't recall. Then Amanda and I went out and she ended up buying a pretzel the size of our heads. It wasn't pizza but it was SO good.
10/18/15: Today I enjoyed my last chicken bacon garlic leftovers for lunch and chili pizza leftovers for dinner. Then I wanted more cheese (which is funny since Amanda is reading a story now about how cheese is basically as addictive as cocaine, according to science). So I used my new Tastefully Simple pizzeria seasoning on a flat bread topped with perfect Ellsworth cheese curds. Damn good cheesy cracker bread and the pizzeria seasoning is just the flavoring this needed!
10/19/15: I had pizza leftovers for lunch (cleaned out my fridge!) then began my journey south to Illinois for graduate fairs. I had Culver's for dinner. Definitely not pizza but it was pretty delicious anyway...
10/20/15: In Galesburg, IL tonight I went to Baked Pizza and ordered their deep dish-style pizza. I took it back to my hotel room and ate half of it. There is something about all that melty, crusty, wonderful cheese that makes the Chicago-style deep dish something to be admired. However I definitely ate too much and felt uncomfortably full afterwards. I probably won't be eating deep dish again anytime soon. Baked the restaurant was adorably cobbled together with vintage tables and chairs, a cool chalkboard wall and records everywhere (not sure if they were decoration or meant to be played). They also had a cool gallery of art in the back "party" area. I was the only one in there the entire time I waited for my pizza to be made (about 30 minutes) but then again, it was just barely 5:00 p.m.
10/21/15: In Galesburg, IL for night two, I asked some college reps where I should go for good pizza. They suggested Baked, which I informed them I had been to the night before, so their second choice was Pizza House. Pizza House was a cute little place with very friendly wait staff. I wasn't feeling super great so instead of ordering a pizza, I got a "pizza burger" sub sandwich and mozzarella sticks. The mozz sticks were clearly prepackaged but were still good. The pizza burger was what I expected from this "mom & pop" shop- bread, lots of sauce, crumbled meat (I think it was just hamburger) and cheese. Luckily, there was lots of cheese. Unluckily, I really don't like pizza sauce all that much and the bread got soggy fast so I basically ate the cheese off the sandwich and finished my cheese sticks. So healthy, I know.
