If there is anything better than "Pimp my Shrimp" Pizza, I don't know what it is


So, my MIL has been in town and it's been fabulous!  It is really great to spend time with her and she has been a constant companion to Harley.  Harley has been sick and is just now recovering, which means I am now sick.  It is just a summer cold, no biggie.  Lots of lost energy, groaning, sneezing and runny eyes and nose.  TMI?  Sorry.

We have played games of all varieties all day long.  It's been overcast, so it's been perfect.  Video games, board games, card games, tile games, mind games... whew!  I'm gamed out!

We ended the day at our fave local pizza joint which was having a special on Pimp my Shrimp pizza.  Oh... MY...GOD!  It has Alfredo sauce, fresh basil, rosemary and garlic, and of course shrimp, cheese and red onion.  TO DIE FOR loveys! Put that together with a side spinach salad and an IPA and it's just perfect!  Although I have to say it's been the first time I've been out for pizza in ages where I didn't eat myself sick.  I paced myself and only had one beer and 2 slices.  How awesome am I?  I can't remember feeling this satisfied without having that "Thanksgiving hangover" feeling.

Hope everyone out there is having an equally groovy Sunday.

Sounds like you had a great time and I bet your MIL was doting on her grandbaby and Harley eating it up! What kid doesn't love it when grandma comes to town? And the pizza is different but I'm glad you guys enjoyed it. I wish I could eat shrimp again but I have a shellfish allergy. :(

PS Any updates on Matt?

Hey Jojo!

Ya know, I think that same pizza would be good without the shrimp or with some kind of substitute.

As for Matt... he is making slow but sure progress. I keep meaning to do a quick post on him, and I don't know... I feel like I also don't want to dwell too much on it. I mean, I don't know where the line is between updating and whining. I find myself going in and out of rage over it...

Anyway, I'll send you an email about Matt. He is s l o w l y improving... I'm staying optimistic. Thanks for asking.

I love pizza.........pizza is the ultimate food. Could survive on it for the rest of my life....that and Spinach Manicotti from Maggiano's.

Rebecca,

I am so with you on that one. I really could eat it forever and not get sick of it.

That Manicotti sounds pretty yummy too.

Good to see you!
