pizza frite

We do love our za* around here.

As #1 Daughter was "decorating" our za tonight with mixed cheeses, ham, pepperoni, and broccoli, I was wondering what to do with the small amount of dough leftover.

Aha. Pizza Frite!

It has been so long since I have made fried dough that my little darlings didn't know what it was. This injustice was quickly corrected. Within fifteen minutes (as long as it takes to heat a shallow pan of oil), we were stuffing scorchingly hot pieces of pizza frite into our mouths.

#1 Son breathed in some confectioner's sugar and choked a bit. But otherwise, our re-introduction to this glorious stuff went off without a hitch.

-except that NOW two pizzas are emerging from the oven, and we have over-indulged ourselves already in greasy and powdery dough.


*za: a bonafide nickname for pizza. also, a fabulously handy scrabble word.

Two thoughts:

1. Is "pizza" really the plural form as well as singular (like "deer")?

2. I, being in my present location, hate reading posts like this!

1. I stand corrected, Friend #37. "pizzas" it is. Purely a typo.

2. for the price of a plane ticket, you are welcome to free pizza(s) at 3108 anytime.

3. there are no leftovers this time, unfortunately. Everyone cleaned me out when they packed lunches this morning. So typical.
