Over a month ago, back in August in fact, David drummed up old feelings of pizza parties. Whether it was going to Pizza Hut after acquiring enough stars on our Book-It buttons, attending a birthday party at Chuck-E-Cheese, Shakeys Pizza or the like and so on. It was then that we determined that we were going to throw our own pizza party and have a bunch of people over. I pushed and pushed and pushed him to nail down a date. My nagging gave way to October 18. Much planning ensued.
Initially intended to be a “make your own pizza pizza party” turned into, Let US make YOU pizza. After figuring out that we had a lot of people to invite, it just made more sense to make bigger pies and have them assembled before anyone arrived to cut down on a mess that was going to occur no matter what.
On October 12, we made pizza sauce and puppy chow, then throughout the week I made many loaves of pizza dough, 3-4 each day, wrapped them up and put them in the freezer for safe keeping. Cookie baking, apple tart baking and shopping also followed suit.
I over planned it, but only because of irrational fears of running out of food. Better to have more than less anyway. It was a lot of work, but it seemed like everyone had fun! Despite that, very few pictures were taken. In fact, here’s the only one:
Here are most of the recipes that we used as well. Cheers!
