Let’s be honest. We had a pizza party so I could kill the masthead 4.

April 14th, 2008

Riki and I hosted a vegan / dairy pizza party-party to knock problem #46 off the list this past Saturday. I think I still have half a pound of dough sitting in my stomach, which is gross. I had it for breakfast yesterday, and as a snack tonight, so maybe this is part of the problem.

It was a success if I do say so myself, and I do. A bunch of friends came over with a bunch of booze, and we provided dough and toppings as faaaaar as the eye can seeeeeee…

writing this post and looking at these photos is seriously making me nauseous. I’m never eating pizza again.

chopped up toppings in their own little bowls. we so fancy.

Here we learn how vegan cheese doesn’t melt. Do you know what it’s like to be failed by your very own faux cheese substitute at a party? It feels awful. Humilitating, really.

This ain’t pretty, but damn it was good.

This is a meat and cheese pizza. Or, the cookie sheet of death and despair, as it’s known in some parts.

Amy also made me a cake! This would be #4 in the list of baked treats I received for my birthday… It was so so good, and so pretty. Pink icing, wtf!

Ok, that’s all I have in me. I can’t look at any more food pictures, arrrghhh. More tomorrow! I’m getting dangerously close to the 80s in the problems list. Which is dangerously far away from 0.

Let’s be honest. Any excuse to have a pizza party is a good one. This was so much fun and delicious. Thanks for having it! I think pizza making parties should be a standard part of our culture.
