I remembered I had purchased a frozen cauliflower pizza crust so I took it out and let it thaw. I had this bright idea to make my own pizza. I was pretty sure that if I went overboard on trying to make it healthy - no one would want any and I would have some left over for lunch - unless I didn’t like it then I was sure my little rescue pup would devour it. She acts like someone tried to starve her. I’ve had her since she was just a few weeks old - but she eats like she has keen awareness that this next meal is definitely her last …wait, no it’s definitely the next one after this one - maybe she was wrong because it’s definitely the next one.
I start with this cauliflower crust. I use olive oil on the pan so the crust won’t stick. I take some organic tomato pizza sauce as my base. You’d think I was trying out for a cooking show the way I circled that sauce on the crust. Then, with a small layer of mozzarella cheese to hold the healthy items together I used sun-dried tomatoes marinading in olive oil and basil. Then, some mushrooms followed by kalamata olives (my favorite) and banana pepper rings or salad peppers. I was going to add artichokes but they were in a can and if I didn’t like this pizza I would have ruined a good can of artichokes - so I let them rest. I topped all of that with more mozzarella so that’s probably where this pie stopped being healthy and the breakdown of my original plan. Then, I added some Greek seasoning, garlic salt, pepper and a seasoning called Slap Yo Mama.... it has a bit of a bite to it that makes just about everything more flavorful.
Oven baked it on 400 for 10 minutes. It came out perfect and as I took the first piece I realized that my home office crew had not left the office and wanted a piece. So, I got 2 pieces of this pizza that everyone else said was delicious. There will be none for tomorrow’s lunch.
I watched the State of The Union speech for the humor. Politics has always fascinated me. We don’t realize how political everything is until you watch all of them in the same room. I find it rather entertaining and I can’t help it. I see the good and bad of how identities are split down the middle. It’s probably why I couldn’t be elected to lead like that. I would be standing on some things and not others and there would be someone going - we don’t stand for that, and I would be - well I agreed with it. Anyhow - it’s hilarious to watch grown people hate one another over an idea.
If you have stuck with this story this far, this is the entire point I came her to make.
I turned off the news in my kitchen and retired to the bedroom. I sat down in my recliner to watch something on Apple TV - couldn’t find anything. Then, turned to Prime - nothing. Then, I landed on Netflix and for whatever reason as I am doom scrolling I fell asleep. I had this awful dream that I was stuck in this conversation that kept repeating over and over and my neck was in a position that caused me to wake up around 230am. I was thirsty. I literally took my head and moved it because the pain had me stuck in that position.
Here I am 2 hours later and can’t get back to sleep. I have looked at Facebook, Instagram and before I went down the rabbit hole of Tik Tok I thought I would write something here.
I ultimately thought it might help me get some rest, but now I may as well get up and do some work in my office. I have an advocacy meeting on Thursday to prep for and I have a ton of video to edit for an upcoming show. I don’t feel like I’m gonna get any of it finished. I worry that my advocacy meeting will not end well. It’s for a veteran that is already getting VA benefits and is seeking benefits from SSA. The Administrative Law Judge assigned to hear his case is a low percentage approval judge. Those are the absolute worst. You cannot possibly win them all, but you do want to protect an individual’s rights.
I also have to decide on another movie offer that I am contemplating on taking. It doesn’t look like a huge roll at all. Probably just a cameo without a speaking line. A friend of mine is playing one of the leading roles. When I say friend - he’s more like a working colleague. I noticed where they already cast his every day friends for speaking roles. These particular friends have never acted in a movie. Remember how I said that politics was always fascinating to me?
