Cop out! Frozen pizza FTL*

So, those who are on my Facebook already know that yesterday, Sam was my little Houdini. I got almost no time to do any cooking or cleaning, because every time I turned around he was just gone. Out the door, down the steps, through the yard, into the driveway, and very nearly into the street. I spent a good third of my day (probably more, actually) just standing around outside making him not run into traffic. Each time I tried to, you know, fold some laundry or use the bathroom, I'd suddenly stop hearing him playing inside and run, panicked, outside to find him in the middle of our driveway. Last night we made a few adjustments to our doors and deck, and hopefully I won't have such a crazy day again any time soon.

But that meant that I'd done nothing to start dinner prior to Dan getting home, and since my lovely chicken/broccoli/rice meal takes some time to cook, between marinating the meat and cooking the rice, we decided to put it off for another day. Which meant: frozen pizza to the rescue! It was finally cool enough outside that I thought we could stand to run the oven for half an hour and just open up all the windows to cool the house down afterward.

Here's to not breaking down and spending $15 on delivery pizza that cost $3 from the grocery store, because even convenience food is cheaper and healthier when you make it yourself at home.

*For my mom and anyone else who doesn't know what FTL means: "For the lose", the opposite of "For the win".
