Baby Blues by Rick Kirkman and Jerry Scott for February 17, 2024

That’s the way I like it, too.

The way they skimp on toppings, Daryl, there will be no problem with pepperonis not touching.

Hammie! wants no weird stuff.

fotget it all…. I’m not hungry anymore. LOL

And no animal products in the cheese.

So get two pizzas—one for the kids and one for the adults.

That’s kind of redundant. A pepperoni pizza with everything?

Just get it plain and add a few toppings you bring home from the store. Since the kids are all so picky. My husband and I usually get one pizza and his half will have different stuff than my half. Sometimes I’ll tease and say I don’t want the mushrooms (fungus) from his side touching my side lol!

None of the pepperonis should touch, sounds like a Zoe thing!

I long time ago we realized we needed to buy multiple pizzas and reheated pizza was the meal for the next day(s) as well.

Poor Darryl.

So, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches it is.

I sense that the order taker has heard from the MacPherson’s before.

Later… EW!! There’s cheese all over my pepperonis! Weren’t you paying attention at all?!

I’m probably one of the rare ones that do not like pepperoni pizza.

Simple solution: hash out what everyone wants (or not), write it down, have everyone sign it, then move to another room, lock everyone out and make the call. Any complaints later, you have the signed “contract”.

Darryl should know by now that only a regular pepperoni pizza will pass muster for the kids. It was the same in our house when the kids were growing up It wasn’t until they were in their teens that they learned to enjoy a supreme pizza.

Get the pizza and you pick off the parts that you don’t want or trade with others so you have extra of what you like.

I’d like it just as it is on the menu…except…

I’d tell the kids to pick off what they don’t like and stop complaining.

So a large cheese pizza?

Cheese pie with each kid getting ONE choice of side, Dad. That’s it. Regardless of how accommodating you might be, Zoe will whine the rest of the day and tell ALL the neighbours how you abusively know nothing of pizza, Hammie will generate the biggest and loudest of body ventings and aromas from it, Wren will model it as the latest in pie wear, and Mom will just stare off into space wishing she was ANY where else, with ANYbody else. Family : )

“Kids? You’re having oatmeal for dinner tonight.”

Order one medium pizza with pepperoni only for the family and one just how you like it for yourself.

Or, assuming this has happened before, plan ahead and buy your own pepperoni, mushrooms, etc. at the store. Order two medium cheese pizzas and let everyone put their own toppings on their slice and reheat in the oven or microwave. It may cost more, but everyone gets what they want.

The kids will take one or two bites and be done anyway.

Darryl, just order a large pizza crust no sauce & no toppings. That would solve the problem. If you order the deep dish crust you could call it focaccia bread and sell the little ones on what an exotic meal they are eating.

Next time order your own pizza and let them eat grilled cheese sandwiches.

Just order half with everything and half without. Mountain Mike’s VeggieMike is sublime. I can neither digest nor tolerate greasy fatty meats.

Ha. yes, we dealt with that once or twice. In the end two medium pizzas. One with ingredients, one just a plain cheese. Funny, the ingredient pizza died first.

I like the employee’s sense of humor.

Friend thought she was funny saying “don’t top it off with anything that swims.” That was code for NO anchovies.

When I was a kid we got what Dad ordered. If you didn’t like it, no problem. You don’t have to eat it. Now, with my son’s kids, we have to stop at three different places in order to feed everyone. It drives me crazy. And I’m the bad guy if I say anything about it.

In this case they are right, none of that stuff.

I am the only one does not like pepperoni, we go to a place place order and eat there, there is a kid zone too, mine is thin crust, Alfredo sauce, chicken, spinach, pineapple, sometimes ham, mushrooms and black olives. Husband think crust, pizza sauce, pepperoni, sausage, black olives, onion, and black olives and onion. Son pepperoni, daughter shakes hers a little.

Wouldn’t you just want pepperoni?

you have to scroll waaaaay down before you can even find pepperoni on the online menu from pizzara, a homegrown pizza delivery outfit here in japan… ☺

(i tried the usual trick for providing the link, but the censor bot appears to be getting smarter and wouldn’t allow it. if you’re really interested in weird topping choices, google “pizzara”…)

An everything pizza w/ nothing, please?

At the pizza parlor… “Order in! One large MacPherso special to go!”

This made me hungry for pizza. I live one tenth of a mile away from the end of the delivery area, and I didn’t really want to drive through the snow for one. I had some pre-made crusts, so I slapped on my favorite pizza sauce (Classico Traditional), diced onion, sliced green olives, pepperoni, and sprinkled Kraft 6 Cheese shredded Italian cheeses. Popped it into the toaster oven and 15 minutes later it was done.

You get more pepperoni if you let them touch!

This is why in my house, you clear everything up BEFORE the phone is dialed.

I usually order a S&M pizza. Sausage & Mushrooms.

Wouldn’t pepperoni be included with “everything”? And really, by this time, Darryl should know better. He probably could have called in “Regular order for the MacPhersons, please.”
