Even more pizza stuff...

Alrighty! The Save-On-Foods Delissio pizza weekend was last week, and here's the fallout:

My mom liked the rising crust chicken-meat ones (something about the mix of spices, I think), and they were still as they were. (Hawaiian? meh...) However, she also got all carb-conscious on me and wanted thin-crust. Three kinds were available, and sad to say, toppings were skimpy (it always looks better in ad copy...). Half the weight, less toppings, but same price. You figure it out. Delissio, formerly owned by Kraft, is now owned by Nestle, apparently. Change in management -> reduction in toppings? (-_-;)
There was also frozen pork tenderloin at $1.99/pound. I saw some seniors really raking these in. It didn't look like many people bought them, but when they did, they hauled home 10+ packs! They aren't afraid of cooking, I guess. (^_^)
My sister popped by just yesterday (Saturday July 17th) and brought over frozen Costco pepperoni pizza. Yes, you have to be a member (or at least just one person you know needs to be a member), and no, not everything at Costco is cheap. But the pizza was SUPER cheap! $21 for 2 packs x 3 pizzas per pack = $3.50 per pizza! Same size as the frozen pizzas in Superstore and Save-On-Foods, but over a dollar less. It was pretty tasty, so naturally it scores a D- for nutrition. (^_^)

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 3

A picture from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. I can't remember why I had this couple in the picture, but I do vaguely remember this to be in London, on the first official day of the tour group getting together. Their insistence on my helping them take a picture caused the three of us to be late getting back to the bus. The local tour guide had a "rule" about lateness, that we had to buy chocolate to share with everyone. As it turned out, later in the trip, on at least two occasions, we were stuck on the highway on either a long commute or a traffic jam, and I had chocolate and chocolate-covered marzipan to share. About the chocolate-covered marzipan -- Apparently we were in Austria just as they were celebrating Mozart's birthday with special marzipans wrapped in foil with the famous composer's picture. I'm pretty sure it was Mirabell Mozartkugeln . Anyway, there were enough to go around the en...

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 10

The last of my pictures (at least the ones that survived the cheesy disposable cameras) from my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. Below is the obligatory group photo. Not sure everyone's in it, actually. I'm pretty sure this one was taken by the tour director, Mike Scrimshire as I'm in the back row, on the right side.

Trafalgar's European Explorer 2006 memoirs part 9

More assorted couples on my 2006 trip, a Trafalgar 's bus tour, on an itinerary called the European Explorer. An American couple who joked about being from "the land of the giants" -- and with good reason, because both of them were really tall! A cute Jewish mother-daughter pair who ducked out part-way to divert to Israel. I vaguely remember the issue of the daughter being an orthodox Jew was highlighted in France when, to make things easy, she just declared herself vegetarian for the wait staff. I also remember there was some logistics error in France because our party size was way underestimated or simply relayed incorrectly, and there was a shortage of food at dinner. Dessert came as an unopened can of yogurt. It did not seem like they tried to make it up to us later, either. Plus there was smoking every which way in France, and I had a helluva time with that. We were also in a hotel that seemed tucked away in the burbs, and not walking distance from anythin...
