Puff the Magic Dragon and I decided to make pizza. Of course we didn't have all the ingredients that we needed to make pizza. We didn't want to spend a small fortune at the grocery store either, so we used what we had.
Tasks that most adults consider simple and mundane, can be very entertaining for a 4 year old. For instance, she begins by spraying the pan with Pam. Then, I let her open the crescent rolls. I watch as she pinches her eyes shut and holds the can as far as her arms can reach, as she anticipates that pop.
Puff the Magic Dragon kneaded out crescent rolls for the dough.
It got sticky, so we added a little flour.
Then, I let her pour on the spaghetti sauce to sub for pizza sauce.
This is what life without a can opener looks like. I keep thinking the missing can opener will turn up, so never think to buy one when we are out. Opening a can with a very sharp knife is actually quite scary.
Step 1: Say a prayer.
Step 2: Think carefully about the placement of your can steadying hand and put it there.
Step 3: Jab the can with the end of sharp knife.
Step 4: Repeat over and over and over.
Step 5: Thank the good Lord above you made it through without loosing any digits....or go to the hospital. Bring your severed fingers with you in a cup of ice.
Our last step was to add cheese. Surprisingly, we even had a little mozzarella to mix in with the cheddar. Despite protests from Puff the Magic Dragon, I added tomatoes on my side.

Mmmmm, good.
Geez, sister.. I'd say a can opener may be something you should get even if you think that other one will turn up. Having two wouldn't be so bad. Unlike having just two fingers... That would be worse I think. Much worse than two can openers.
ReplyDeleteAlso, that pizza looks delicious. I'm proud of you for the tomatoes. Next time, let's add one more vegetable. It could even be a fruit that everyone thinks is a vegetable; I don't care. Nutrition is not about technicalities. That said, maybe the next veggie to add would be... just like, any green one.
Great. Mom already got all over me about this pizza post....but she had the decency to chew me out in private. Can't a kid eat any pizza around here? Well, I mean, can't a kid and her mom eat any pizza around here? Besides, red and green don't look good together unless it is Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you Sunny...amazed...she added tomatoes!
