I just keep some par baked crusts. Some are good. Some are bleh. The ones
I got at Big Lots were bleh but I can get good ones at Winco or World
Market. The ones I get do come 2-3 per package which is not a problem for
me because husband will eat any pizza.

If I had the chest freezer I would get frozen because I can get them for
cheap. But the only ones that will fit in my side by side are the tiny ones
and they're not worth it. Can get a larger one for the same price.

Since DH prefers the pizzas from Costco, I make myself small ones. I
make a crust with about 3 cups of flour and divide the dough into 4
portions and freeze them. I buy "fresh" mozzarella and cut it into
the size I need for 1 pizza, wrap and freeze it too. In the summer I
use fresh Roma tomatoes and the rest of the year I have canned pizza
sauce. The sauce is my homemade and canned but it should not be too
hard to mix up an acceptable sauce with commercial tomatoes. All I
have to do is remember to take the dough and cheese out of the freezer
early enough.

I don't much care for working with dough, either. Since I only have
pizza a couple of times a year, gussying up a frozen pizza is the option
I choose. $3 for a Red Barron pizza is a steal. More like $6 here.

Pepperoni, Italian sausage, more pepperoni, extra cheese. I was out of
mozz so I crumbled some white cheddar on top. Added basil & oregano. I

they're pretty good. I only get them once in a blue moon because it
is too far to Costco to make a pizza run. I'm like squertz, I buy a
couple of Red Baron and put my toppings on.

I'm not saying Costco pizza is bad. It's certainly better than most
chains or frozen, but it can't compete with home made. Susan's
husband preferring a commercial Costco pizza over her home made is
very difficult to understand.

How do we know it's a small pizza, you didn't say its size.

Can't really tell it's a pizza without seeing the perimeter edges
(crust), could well be a sort of casserole.
Which brand of frozen pizza.
And why are you so obssessed with always attempting to convince people
about how little you eat... do you have an eating disorder, sure seems
so... people who are always saying how little they eat it's due to
their guilt over their consuming vast quantities of food___like alkies
constantly saying they rarely drink, three pack a day smokers claiming
they smoke less than a pack a day, and folks who constantly claim to
not like sweets are actually sugar addicts. Like that saying about
the lady protests too much, means just the opposite. So did you lik
that pizza, you don't say.

The brand was Tombstone. If that looked like a casserole you're crazy.

Oh fer cryin' out loud. There's no pleasing you, is there? Not
everyone consumes a half a pound of meat in one sitting. You seem to
think everyone should but that simply isn't the case. So far I've had
two slices of pizza. Quite enough for one meal, thanks.

Jill

Good job on that. We have skipped a step and been making the French Bread models from scratch. If a person happen to buy a supply of enhancers..we can make about 8 good sized ones over a period of week or so. Meaning Pepperroni and all the other good stuff keeps for a while. Much better than frozen. About as much trouble to make a hot sandwich in the oven.

Most normal folks don't think an eight ounce steak is a lot...
in fact most consider it a child's portion... I've never seen an eight
ounce steak for sale in any market, it's difficult to find a steak
that's under a pound. A one pound steak is about half waste anyway,
and any normal 10 year old can vacuum up a one pound steak and look
for more.

You said you'd get at least four meals from that pizza, not two,
bottom line you grossly exaggerated. I make frozen pizzas often
(~once a week), they measure about 12" but they are barely a light
meal for two, typically there has to be at least a decent salad and a
nice dessert to go with or it's not really enough. There is no way a
12" pizza is going to suffice for four meals for anyone over 6 years
old, that's what they serve at the grade school cafeteria here. I
think you're out of touch with reality... you spend way too much time
alone.

I had a huge appetite as a kid. My mom said I could eat a whole pound of
fried chicken hearts as a snack or 2-3 pork chops with a meal. I don't
remember. Only kind of vaguely remember the chewiness of the chicken
hearts. This was when I was really little, when we lived in KS. I know I
never ate meat like that once we moved to WA because it was never available
to me in those quantities. We all got a piece of meat. But unless it was
something that started out large like roast beef or a whole turkey, there
was never an option of seconds.

I did love salad and raw veggies though and could put away tons of those
things if given the chance. I once ate a whole head of iceberg lettuce
which got me banned from making salads for a week. I also had to walk to
the store and buy another head. And setting the serving bowl of mashed
potatoes anywhere near me was a mistake! My mom soon learned to allow me to
serve myself last and to make sure there was extra. And I had to learn when
dining at other people's houses, to take tiny amounts of vegetables (tiny to
me anyway) and then if there were any left, have seconds. I've dined with
people who considered one 14-16 oz. can of vegetables to be sufficient for 4
people. In this house, one can would serve 2 people. And sometimes we can
use 2 cans between the three of us although usually there is just a small
amount left for soup or some such thing.

But now? Most of the time I do eat very little. Breakfast is almost always
two slices of whole wheat toast. I do eat breakfast in the afternoon on
most days. No lunch. Then dinner, which often is a bean tostada. Tostada
shell with about 1/2 cup of refried beans on it, perhaps 1/2 to 1 cup
shredded lettuce and a goodly drizzle of whatever salsa I have in the house.
If no salsa, then chopped tomatoes. Perhaps some onion or black olives as
well. I might have a small pear with this or some applesauce if my blood
sugar is too low. Bedtime snack is often popcorn but more and more I am
unable to finish it despite trying to make less. Seems that is one thing
that is difficult to make in a small amount.

I do wish that I could eat more because I know I am not getting proper
nutrition or taking in enough calories but due to my slowed digestion, I can
only hold so much.

Photobucket works sometimes for me but not all (just my old software)

I often do buy and enhance Tombstone pizzas and like them. ME TOO!

No, I did not. I have eaten two slices of pizza. There are 6 slices
left. 2 slices = 1 meal for me. Get it?

Guess I'm a piggie. 4 slices is a meal for me. Whenever I make a
pizza, 4 slices at first, then two snacks of 2 slices each to finish
it.

Would depend on the size of the pizza for me but I generally eat one or two.

Usually when we get a pizza I have one slice (and a substantial salad).

Leftovers for lunch will usually be two slices, with a smaller salad.

You said: "I'll get at least four meals out of that small pizza.
And frozen pizzas don't come sliced... you can slice it into a dozen
slices if you like but you still said you get at least four meals from
that small pizza. A quarter of a 12" pizza is at best an appetizer...
maybe it seems like a meal when you've already guzzled a half gallon
of muscatel.

One or two what, pies or slices? For someone so verbose you sure are
stingy with the pertinent facts.

I slice those 12" pizzas into sixths, they're too small to slice into
eighths without making a mess. Those 12" pies make a light meal for
two adults, half a pie each. Next you bake one notice it shinks from
~12" diameter to ~10" diameter... it suffices for a light lunch but I
don't consider half that pie on it's own a main meal. Were I to eat
at a pizzaria I wouldn't consider two slices from their large pie
(18") a main meal... four people would have a couple slices each as an
appetizer while waiting for their entree.

Why do I get the feeling that yoose small eaters are chonically ill
and the most physical work you do is operate the remote while lying on
the couch 24/7. Now that I'm retired most days I do as much or
more physical work than I did on my job, and my job was very
physically demanding.

WTF is "about" 2 slices, don't you know what you *usually* eat, or
can't you count past two? DUH

I'm beginning to think the self proclaimed small eaters only eat small
when home... don't treat them to dinner without first applying to
refinance your house.

LOL!!! Methinks you have hit the nail squarely on the head with that one. I've noticed that, too. I don't understand people in a cooking group constantly professing that they eat like a bird.

Jesu Christe! I sliced the pizza myself, after I baked it. 2 slices
fill me up. Get over thinking everyone needs to eat gargantuan portions
of food.

Maybe she buys one of those huge frozen ones. I will buy those if I am
going to make it right away. Once cut, the leftovers can be portioned up to
fit in my fridge.

You're a *male*. I think in general, males and females have differing
constitutions when it comes to food. But not always.

I had a male friend who was thin. Was, until he got a job where he sat on
his butt all day and then he told me he was getting what he called
"secretary spread". No, he was not a secretary. But apparently the
constant sitting and lack of activity caused excess weight to build up only
in his butt area and not only did his pants no longer fit but he found that
he could no longer buy off the rack. He had to go up a size and have them
tailored. He still wasn't fat by any means but he did learn that he could
no longer eat whatever he wanted and that in order to lose weight and
maintain that weight loss, he had to cut back on the food.

Another thing that was somewhat atypical for my friend was that his mom had
4 boys plus a lot of miscarriages. She used to joke that she considered my
friend to be her "girl" and in some ways treated him as such. No, she
didn't dress him in feminine clothing. But he was the one who always went
shopping with her and she took him out to lunch at fancy places like the
Azalea Room at Frederick and Nelson's or luncheon fashion shows at
Nordstrom. In other words, places that catered mainly to ladies and served
the type of foods that would appeal to them. So he learned to like those
sorts of foods. Chicken salad, finger sandwiches, small portions of lean
meat, cottage cheese and fruit.

Yes, most likely my friend was also ***. I have no way of knowing for sure
because he often went out of his way to say that he wasn't (which to me was
a sign that he was, but there were many other signs) but he is no longer
with us so... But that's beside the point. Normally he ate what would be
typical for a woman to eat. I can remember him once telling me that he felt
hungry. And he had just eaten lunch. So he told himself... I just ate a
tomato the size of a baseball, stuffed with tuna salad and a roll on the
side. That's plenty of food.

Now what kind of response do you think I would get if I presented my husband
with such a meal? Oh and I have! Have given the same to my dad who was a
bit more polite about it but... After they ate it, both then said, "Now
where is the meal?" Or something to that extent.

Please do not think that I am implying in any way that my friend ate like
this because he might have been ***. I feel that my writing was coming off
that way. I do have another male friend(thankfully still alive) who used to
be very tiny both in stature and bone structure. When we went places
together, he made me feel like a giant. He is from CA. And he is addicted
to my chocolate haystacks. I can't tell you how many times he paid me to
make a pound or two or three of those for him to take home to his family.
And each and every time, he would sheepishly tell me that the candy never
made it onto the plane. He either ate it all before he got to the airport
or occasionally *at* the airport! And it wasn't just candy that he ate like
that. He ate all foods in HUGE proportions like that and had been to the
Dr. and he was told that it was just his metabolism. Now he is in his 50's
and has finally put on enough weight to where he is pretty much what would
be considered normal in girth, but of course still short.

Still another friend who was a little taller than the one mentioned above
but about the same bone structure. He tried all sorts of things to put on
my muscle to look beefier to no avail. And he ate like a HORSE! We would
go out for breakfast and he would generally order the largest thing on the
menu plus a side of bacon or sausage and an English muffin plus several
large glasses of orange juice. And two hours later he'd be ready for a
snack.

Still another friend (the one I mentioned in another post who went to Italy
and squatted in a house in England) who was 6'4" and skinny as a rail. He'd
buy a dozen donuts on the way home from work so we could have them for
breakfast but none would ever make it home. I lived with him for a while.
When I cooked, I cooked the main dish for 4 and always had tons of sides.
That guy could EAT!

These men are all to the extreme. I would think that most men do not eat
like this. Then there is my husband who can at times pack away more food
than anyone I have *ever* seen. And it is catching up with him. He is not
thin.

Of course I have also known a few women over the years who ate like horses.
Some were really big women and a few were not. But they're not typical
either.

Yes, in general men are taller and more muscular than women are. I'm sure
that has something to do with it. But there is something else too. Men can
just get away with eating more!

I also think that a lot of women go through something around their teen
years to perhaps their 20's or maybe even their 30's where they have to
convince themselves to eat less. Their stomach might want to eat more or
they might want to eat something more fattening but they know that if they
do, they will put on weight. That commercial on TV where the man and the
woman go on the same diet and the guy loses where the woman does not is
generally true! My parents went on diets all the time. The weight would
fall off of my dad easily and my mom would be lucky to have lost 2 pounds.
Exercise seems to go the same way. I know countless men who can easily lose
10 pounds just by upping their exercise a little bit. But women? They
might have to do an hour or more of strenuous exercise on top of what they
were already doing just to see the scale budge by a couple of pounds.

And when you begin to cut back on your food like that and change the types
of foods that you eat, after a while, you become accustomed to it. All of a
sudden a big greasy pizza or a huge, gloppy burger looks rather disgusting
and you realize you would prefer to eat a salad or a small piece of meat and
some vegetables.

I have also read countless magazine articles where they interviewed single
guys to find out what they were looking for in a woman. Many of those guys
said that they did not want a woman who drank Diet Coke or ordered a salad
when they went out to eat. They wanted the gal who got the beer and the big
greasy burger. But... They also wanted the thin gal. And those things
usually do not go hand in hand.

I had lost 30 pounds back in the 80's. I looked good! I turned down gifts
of food and offers to go out to eat at places where I could not get food
that fit the parameters of my diet, which at the time was pretty much Dean
Ornish. Vegetarian, almost vegan and extreme low fat. Salad bars were fine.
Pizza was not.

Then I met my husband. I managed to maintain the weight loss for a very
long time, by bringing food to his house. And he ate it for a while. But
then there was the spinach salad incident. We had gone out to eat at some
really fancy place. I can't even remember what city it was but probably 2
hours away from here. He was served a spinach salad prior to his meal and
he raved about it being sooo good that the waitress brought him another one!
Realizing that he liked spinach salad, I armed myself with all of the
ingredients and made that for him for dinner one night. In a very large
mixing bowl. Just the salad. Nothing else. Because to me, that was the
ideal meal. Well...

He ate that salad for probably 20-30 minutes and barely made a dent in it.
Then he chucked it in the fridge and sent out for pizza. And he never did
finish the salad although he did eat some of it for the next couple of days
but since it had honey mustard dressing on it, it did get a tad icky.

And eventually I caved in and began eating the same things he was eating.
Pizza. Sandwiches with not a reasonable amount of cheese but a huge slab!
Took me the better part of a year to lose those 30 pounds but they seemed to
fly back on very quickly. And yet, he could eat this sort of diet and be a
size Medium. He was in his 20's then. I think the tendency to put on
weight strikes most of us as we age. It just seems to hit a lot of women
harder than it seems to for a lot of men.
