Friday 11/20 - CANCELLED

Friday will be one of those rare days we are not hosting a pizza Friday. We are taking the party on the road to celebrate Michelle and Tom's B-days. Who knew I actually know three people w/ b-day's today. Congrats to all three.

But, do know that you and/or your family are invited over for Thanksgiving dinner. There will be food, wine, people. Oh, and even a Turkey. Sound good? Great. That will make up for our lack of hospitality this week. Sorry.

But you - yeah you - show up already. You know you have been meaning to. Start early, hang out, leave when you (or your kid) gets cranky. It is an easy task.

Friday the 13th.

Make your plans now, Pizza is on as always. Friday the 13th at the Keenan's will get you pizza, beer, soda (?), cute kids and even an appearance from the mysterious Kevin.

If you are coming, give me a heads up. You can also let me know if you need me to make some bread. It is sneaking in as a staple of the pizza Friday experience.

See you on Friday!

October 30th, 2009

Ok, I will promise to get back to blogging some day (yeah right!) I actually just got an email from someone wanting to interview the fam about the Splendid Table shenanigans for her masters thesis. Weird. I guess I felt more pressure at one time to keep up on things like letting others know what we eat.

It isn't quite ramen yet, but we are definitely thinking like college students these days. Which isn't fair - because I get none of the knowledge, all of the scrimping and a little extra work. But.. it gives zero excuse for not eating pizza. Cheap, easy and an excuse to see people w/o actually getting out of my sweat pants.

If I promise not to wear sweat pants, will you come? I think you should. Brigid made the cupcakes. I might get around to making some bread tonight. I have the cheese, sauce and stuff for dough. You bring the toppings and check out the new digs. First person to find the lost camera can take home a decorative item of their choice from their house. OK. Probably would just get a hug. But - if it is stolen and you do beat up the #*@) who took it from my office I really will give you your pick of stuff from the house. Just leave me my bed, you can have anything else.

See you there. Let us know to expect you so you know where to go, how to get in and what to expect when you show up. Costumes optional. Unless you are baby #1 or #2 - they think they are mandatory uniforms at this point. Did you know tigger can bounce?

September 4th, 2009

Did you miss pizza night? Probably because I didn't tell you about it. That is, if you are still out there. We stayed with the Pizza tradition for the most part. Last Friday we headed out to Jakeeno's to eat Pizza on the Patio. We ended up taking over the patio with yelly girls and a little spaghetti throwing. Hopefully the server wasn't too put out. But, the house is sold, the August B-days have been had. Life is good.

But, that is all past. Going forward, we are going to have pizza this Friday. But, since we are in hiding at some undisclosed location, we will have to have pizza in the park. The plan is to use the park one block North of the Randolph and Marshall intersection. I don't know its name. I don't even know if it has a grill right now. All I know is that we can walk there and we could eat there. I am pretty sure if you are discrete about it, you could even drink there. My plan is to use the gift card I won for HomeMade Pizza.

Because this is an on the road edition of Pizza Friday - you might want to let us know if we should expect you in the event of rain or other scheduling mishaps. Email or phone works for us. See you soon?

7/31/09 - Game on!

We are planning a party Friday night. Hopefully a celebration. I am speaking much too soon and I will feel bad for doing it, but I can't help it. When you feel good, you feel good. So come celebrate or commiserate. Pizza Friday - good eats with a side of extra potato salad. Brendan said some of the pizza will be made from French Bread. Yum. You might even see a b-day cake appear for some August b-days that light my life.
How can you turn that down?

You know you miss pizza (7/24)

Where have you been? We have missed you. There has been a lot of uneaten pizza around because you have spent the summer elsewhere. Come out of hiding and come eat some pizza already.

Sure... the pizza stone is broken, but it has always been broken. Sure, we moved it to the east side of St. Paul, but that was really closer for like 60% of you. Sure the house is for sale and there is a chance that your dinner plans will be called off for a showing. We will right around the corner at the park. You will get fed. I promise.

Brendan made some killer roasted salsa this week. If it lasts until Friday. We have cash, so I see a Morelli's run in the future. You can't really resist the huge pepperoni's can you?

Who is in?

NO Pizza tonight 7/17

I wonder why our turn out is low, and then I forget to update people here, causing confusion on what will happen if you show up and I am not there. SORRY.

Tonight is one of those rare nights when we will not be having pizza Friday. It is sad, but we are going out to celebrate Teresa and Matt's wedding with the bachelor / bachelorette parties tonight.

If you really must see us, which you really should, next Friday is open. Stop on by.
