Fed up with the same old selection in the cafeteria today, I decided to try the local house of pizza. Why does every town have a "House of Pizza"? In my town there is also a Falafel Palace, although rather than being palace-like, it is a small take out place. This is the place that has the creepy owner who sits on the street all day and whistles/yells to get my attention when I walk by on the other side of the street, pretending to ignore him.

Anyway, at the local house of pizza, I ordered a very well-priced lunch special - two slices of cheese pizza and a can of soda for $2.30. Sitting at the outside picnic tables, I opened my take-out box and was surprised to find that my two slices were drenched in cheese. I may as well have ordered plain melted mozzarella, because that's what it looked like. This prompted me to think about how pizza places offer extra cheese as a topping. I've always been somewhat suspicious of this. After all, how do you know if they are really giving you extra cheese, or simply pretending to and charging you a little extra for it? Strangely, I could've ordered extra cheese for my cheese-soaked pizza, if I wanted to.

There was also enough grease to fill a bathtub and bathe a small family of cows. (That is, if you were so inclined to do so. I am not.)

But it did beat another boring cafeteria lunch at least.  ¶ 3:59 PM
