Pizza!

For the last few weeks, we have set one dinner a week as pizza. I think I can say with some certainty that our unofficial "Pizza Night" is here to stay. And as a hungry college student with access to some wonderful cheeses, I am quite happy about it.

Since beginning this blog, our weekly pizza has already evolved. We used to buy those Pillsbury cans of dough at the supermarket (which, don't get me wrong, are very delicious), but have advanced ourselves to buying mixes of "95% organic ingredients" dough from the Co-Op. Not only does it taste much better, but we're putting more of our dollar back into the community by shopping at the Co-Op than at County Market. We also don't buy those convenient bags of pre-shredded cheeses that are ubiquitous at all big chain supermarkets. Instead, we buy cheese that we know is from Wisconsin (and preferably from Rudolph, WI - Dairy State Cheese Co.) and shred it ourselves. These changes may seem small, but it is ensuring that (1) we have the freshest ingredients, (2) the ingredients have less food miles on them, and (3) more of our pizza money stays within the area.
