Smoke Alarm Pizza
Five dollar pizza night at the supermarket and another chance to set off the apartment smoke alarm. It’s great, fire up the oven to oh, 400 - 450º, give the room ten minutes to heat up and then plug your ears. The damn alarm goes off and there isn’t even a piece of food in the oven yet. One hopes that this wailing device will work as well in a real fire.
A pizza for five dollars. A man ahead of me in line said it looked like a Costco pizza. I ignored him, hoping he was directing the comment to the checker. He was right though, the pizza did sort of resemble a Costco version: it’s a big pizza, fresh, just waiting to be baked. If I had been feeling social, I would have told him this one tastes better, but I just wanted to get the hell out of the store. It’s Friday night and I had a smoke alarm to set off.
