this conversation always comes up when kenny and i have pizza. the difference in our pizza dinners isn't in the toppings, or in the manner of actually eating the pizza (although these are big differences between us!), it's what is eaten/drunk along side of the pizza that is the biggest difference.

forgive me, babe, for calling you a "typical guy" in this. But seriously, your choice of pizza cuisine screams the stereotypical "guy." kenny likes his pizza with a cold beer and a bag of potato chips. it's his ideal pizza meal.

to be fair, i will call my preference, "weird." i like my pizza with a nice green salad and a glass of wine. usually white (cold rather than a warm glass of red wine).

i can appreciate a slice of pizza with a beer and some chips every once in a while...but if given the choice, i'd take a glass of pinot grigio with my gourmet pizza and caesar salad any day over the greasy chips and beer.

last night, we made pizza for dinner. as i poured my glass of white while kenny sat at the table opening his beer, we heard rowan say, "i want some milk! no, i want some wine! and beer!" someday, in the not-so-distant-(18 years ahead)-future, he'll make the choice to eat his pizza with wine or beer. i'll bet he follows his dad.

(having just gone back to read this entry, i think i sound like such a wine-snob. really, i love my beer. i love dark beers and homemade brews, but i'm just sort of on a wine kick right now.)

Dave Barry said in one of his books, "We eat pizza simply because it goes so very well with beer." I'm mostly with Kenny on this, but I do enjoy a glass of red with my za sometimes as well.

I'm so with you on this Liz. Alex actually crushes up tortilla chips and outs them ON his pizza? Whatever!

When my parents were in college, their friends made up this non-alchoholic drink called Bay Punch that is my family's favorite drink to have with pizza.

I've never even heard of pizza with chips! Wow. That's crazy! :lol: I like pizza with beer, but I'm always up for some pinot grigio so I'd be happy either way. :)

Really, Bay Punch is THE BEST thing to drink with pizza, though I've been known to enjoy root beer or Mountain Dew if we're eating our pizza at a restaurant. Here's a link to the recipe so you can make your own Bay Punch if you'd like: http://sca.salemsattic.com/lwblog/post/1/313

Thanks for the recipe, Heather's mom! (I edited the html...hopefully the new design will allow commenters to use html...). ~liz

I guess I'm getting old, but a glass of Zin or Syrah is my choice partly because it's better for my cholesterol than a beer. I love that I have a health reason to justify having a nightly glass of red wine. Of course, we are talking about pizza, so...

Chip, you're not getting old. I crave nice reds like Syrah and Shiraz on cold winter evenings and i remind myself that it's a healthy choice! But then again, I think i'm older than you... :)
