Friday Night Pizza
I’ve posted about our pizza tradition before, and I’ve mentioned that we found a new-and-improved way to make pizza in spite of the fact that the lower element in my oven isn’t working. We love our new griddle cooked, browned under the broiler pizzas! Even though there is a new oven element on my counter just waiting to be soldered in, we might not go back to the boring old baked pizzas.
But it would be nice to have the oven working for other purposes. Note to self: beg, buy or borrow a soldering iron soon.
But I digress. I just wanted to mention that thanks to cooler weather and unconventional cooking techniques, Friday Night Pizza is back on - even though I’m out grocery shopping for over half of the day, we’re having pizza every Friday and company too! This little miracle is due to having big kids at home while I shop.
I don’t know if we’re at the open house stage yet, but tonight we’ll have company for the 2nd Friday in a row. Maybe next Friday we’ll put out the vacancy sign and see how many people show up with pizza in hand for a pizza potluck. Or maybe the week after…I think we already have some fun things happening next weekend…

HOW do you function without an oven?? WOW. I just can NOT imagine.
BTW, I must be naive. I thought the man in the Cyber Patrol ad looked perfectly respectable… for a minute.
That is a very tasteful ad if it took me a bit to get it.
Sooooo…what fun is happening NEXT weekend?
Ah! The great central-upstate NY tradition of eating pizza! Excelsior pizza!
But be thankful you don’t have to live up here with a broken oven, deep snow, major temp drops, and a furnace that sends dollar bills through all the holes and gaps and creaks in the house. That’s a NY tradition you do NOT want to continue.
Which begs the question, just how cold does it get in your part of Texas?
That sounds like a pretty awesome tradition..my family used to have pizza on Sundays. But it always got burned when we had company for some reason..or so my childish memory reports.
I hope your oven gets fixed soon!!!
We have the same tradition! We all look forward to pizza night. Our newest tradition is to bbque the pizza. Keeps the house from getting hot in the summer and its keeps the mess down in the kitchen. You should try it! ~Heather
Kim, I read this post last night and woke up this morning dreaming a bunch of us were at a women’s blog conference eating pizza. Bizarre. lol
Great idea though. We’ll be over next week.
hahaha.
We used to have pizza night on saturdays and watch a movie (one of 2 the kids get to watch all week). But it was SOOOO much work, I quit.
I actually wanted to tell you I read your review in the vision forum catalog. You are famous. LOL. The lame thing was that I had a $10 coupon in my catalog, and I ordered (through your link) just yesterday. ACK!
Michelle,
Did you buy our Princess Adelina book? No? Oh well…maybe you can use your coupon for that!
Thanks for using our link.
Would you recommend it for a 17 year old? that’s what i still need for Christmas books….17 year old and a 9 year old…the 9’s easy, so many good books for her at Vision Forum.
Hercules,
I spent 11 years up north, and that was plenty for me. I’m very thankful that God brought us back to the South.
We do get some freezing temps here occasionally, but it’s generously interspersed with 60’s and even 70’s. Perfect winter weather, if you ask me.
We don’t have a specific pizza night. Lately I’ve been making pizza dough and freezing it for those nights where we need a quick meal or are too tired to cook (usually Sunday nights.)
