Barry has a deep, deep love for pizza and crackers so he was overjoyed to learn that pizza flavored cracker existed. They aren’t really pizza flavored, just sun-dried tomato & oregano, and super disgusting tasting and smelling, in my opinion. It has now become a running joke between all of us, because the girls seem to think that having pizza crackers in the house is hilarious….Barry does a ridiculous happy dance and I make a big deal of how gross and stinky they are. Because they are exactly that: gross and stinky.
I was making some super delicious pumpkin bread recently and was in the very final stages of putting the loaves into the oven. I noticed a little square piece of something poking out of one of the pans. I swiped it out and pinched it, thinking it was probably some hard flour or sugar. I was sooooooooo freakin’ wrong.
It was a pizza cracker.
I rinsed it off and sniffed it. Half of a disgusting pizza cracker had somehow made it into my loaf of pumpkin yummy-sauce dish. Yuck.
I called the girls into the kitchen and asked them if they knew how a pizza cracker had landed in my pumpkin loaf, when they hadn’t helped me and we hadn’t had any pizza crackers in a few days. Maggie told me, as a matter of fact, when they’d been working on rolling out pizza dough the other day, Audrey had dropped a ‘few’ pizza crackers in our flour bin.
Ummm….what?
Was there pizza crackers floating around in my dish of yummy pumpkin bread? Gaaaa-rooosss.
I didn’t taste any pizza crackers or tones of sun-dried tomatoes in my pumpkin bread, so I’m pretty sure I grabbed the only one that made it into that batch. I also learned to love these pictures I took of them on the day that they were rolling out the pizza dough – and dropping gross crackers into the flour – even more. You can tell they got a little out of control and a reminder from Barry was needed.
On second thought, maybe he’s the one telling them to drop some pizza crackers into the flour bin.
I Carry Your Heart Week 48: Here
My grandpa and his five siblings gathered together to celebrate his sister’s birthday last month. He asked me to come and take a few pictures of the occasion and I’m finally getting a moment to go through them. It’s pretty amazing that all six siblings are alive and able to travel, considering various ages and health concerns. Three of the six live out of state, so there as a significnant amount of travel involved. But for family, an effort was put forth and they all enjoyed being together in a unique and special way.
