confessions

Dear Reader,
I have sinned. It's been almost two weeks since my last blog.

Here's the thing. I think about what to write here and then get distracted thinking about homework (since I'm in graphic design for advertising, I have two campaigns going on right now). Also, I tend to  think about a guy I talked to in school or in line at the store and wonder why he didn't ask me out even though I said he could buy me a beer.

And, I've been trying to work on my "Leftovers Cookbook" (I'm convinced that once I'm actually done with it, it will pay my tuition. One can dream, right??).  I usually only work on it when I need to, read: when I'm out of groceries and need to get creative in the kitchen.

A few days ago I wanted pizza, but since I'm out of spending money, I could not get one delivered and didn't have the ingredients to make one. So, I thought, what if I did have pizza and further more, leftover pizza, what the heck does one do with leftover pizza other than eat it cold with warm beer from  last nights party or crisp it in the toaster over or stove top pan??

Enter Pinterest. I typed in "leftover pizza" in the little search bar and got two really good answers. One involves dicing up a slice, mixing it with eggs and cooking it like scrambled eggs. I love eggs so I'm down with that one. The other idea absolutely blew my mind. Put it in a waffle iron! OF COURSE PUT IT IN A WAFFLE IRON!! It works for cinnamon rolls and crescent rolls, why not?
Mr. J. Kenji Lopez-Alt  over at seriouseats.com  seems to have perfected this method. I also like the way this guy writes, it's fresh and funny.

Now, all I need is some leftover pizza and I can try this out!

Who wants to donate to my cause?
