Day 316: Pizza With Everything Day (Except Anchovies)

I love pizza. I think we all know that by now. I'm also very picky about my toppings. I mainly stick with pepperoni, black olive, pineapple, or jalapeno. I hate pretty much everything else.

I ordered from Rudy's. It took a while to order, because ordering was complicated. I think if I actually order one with everything I would have broken their computer and oven. The tab would have also been about $120. To make it easy on the both of us, I had them make their "junk" pizza and added jalapenos and roasted garlic. I swear I was on the phone for 10 minutes trying to work out a compromise.

I took a bite. I also swallowed it. Hated every bite. The one bite. Liz loved it. I mainly ate the back up pizza.

Day 315: Sundae

Another generic day. At least Sunset Lanes has a delicious brownie sundae on their menu. I ate the gooey brownie (okay, only part of it) and Alex ate the rest.

Are we done yet?

Day 314: Vanilla Cupcake

Sounds kind of plain, huh? It is. That is what makes them great. I made them from a mix and it took little to no time. If I really think about it, I'm sure I'd like chocolate better. But if I simply eat the cupcake, I'm only thinking about how much I love it.

Day 313: Scrapple

This seems weirder than it is. It is actually quite easy to find. It's mainly pork scraps and cornmeal. Liz and I got up early and went to J & M Cafe to have breakfast.

It is grainy, but it isn't bad. It doesn't hold a candle to bacon, but I'm cool with it. I got it with scrambled eggs, homefries, and como toast. Hearty enough to last me to dinner.

Day 312: Harvey Wallbanger

Day 311: Bittersweet Chocolate with Almonds

I walked over to Trader Joe's and picked up one of those giant chocolate bars for this oddly specific day. Love this crap. It makes me feel like I'm 3 years old.

Liz was worried I'd eat the entire thing today. If it was milk chocolate, that might have been true. With bittersweet, it might take 3 or 4. Still good though.

Day 310: Nachos

I would have waited until I got to work at the Clubhouse to do this, but I didn't want to risk not having wifi.  Also, I'm not sure I would have wanted a full nacho plate. I picked up a few supplies and made a small nacho plate for myself. Heated it in the oven this time rather than my usual microwave.

Very tasty. I'm definitely never using the microwave again for these. Of course I do need to remember hot plate. Not the best I've had. That would be at Sunset Lanes. They use cheddar cheese AND nacho cheese. MMMMmmmmmm!

Day 309: Doughnut

Donuts, or however you spell them, have shown up a few times. But this is a donut type of my choosing. I was going to go super easy and get a chocolate covered donut at Safeway, but I changed my mind. I work a few blocks from Voodoo Doughnut and I swung by on my way home.

I'd much rather have a cake donut than a raised one, so I went with the classic Coco Puff donut. The line was annoying, but not horrible.

Day 308: Candy

You'd think I'd be premiering this post with leftover Halloween candy. Well, I didn't get any. Although I did have plenty at my office, I decided to headline this one with the next best thing: Halloween costume candy. Never heard of it? You probably shouldn't.  Liz and I went as Vanellope Von Schweetz and Wreck-It Ralph for Halloween. Her costume required me to fashion a way to get candy stuck in Liz's hair without actually getting candy stuck in Liz's hair.  It turned out better than I thought it would.

Of the Good & Plentys, Mike and Ikes, and Chewy Sprees, I'm loving the Sprees the best. They just make my mouth water. I will be seeing the dentist in the few weeks, so don't worry about my teeth.

Day 307: Sandwich

It's been a while since I've had sandwiches from East Side Delicatessen. I've wanted to pick some up for the past few weeks, but things would get in the way. Luckily this day allowed me to carve some time out.

I got what I usually get: an East Side Italian Sandwich. So good. Lots of flavor and a bit of spice.

Day 306: Deviled Egg

I've never been a fan of deviled eggs. Of course I haven't had one in years, so maybe they don't taste as bad as I think. I made them from a food network recipe. It was utterly simple.Maybe even a little relaxing.

Did I like them? No. I didn't hate them either. I had two of them just to be sure. I much prefer a hard-boiled egg with salt.

Day 305: Vinegar

Most people gave me a sour face when I mention this upcoming day. I had a trick up my sleeve. I used a recipe from my mom. Equal parts sugar and vinegar and sliced cucumber for every half cup of each (add onions as you see fit). That is a recipe I like. I used to have this all the time at home. I literally can't remember when I had it last.

Loved it. Liz's family liked it too. How can you not? Thanks Mom.

Day 304: Candy Apple

Another fitting day for the times. Unfortunately we misread the day and made caramel apples. I ate two of them too. I didn't notice the mistake until I started to write the blog. I was hoping caramel apples would be a subset of candy apples, but no luck. I rushed to Liz and got her to work on the new treats. I don't work well when I'm freaked out. She found a recipe and I got to work uncarameling an apple.  The recipe she found actually used some of our leftover candy corn. Perfect!

This was a feat to try and eat. I almost had to dislodge my jaw.  Getting a bite with apple in it was the second hurdle.  This is not good. Why would anyone have this when there are caramel apples out there? This thing truly scares me.

Day 303: Candy Corn

These days always seem most on point near the holidays. I love these little things. I just hope I don't have to eat all of them. That would be bad.
