Comfort pizza

Last night I needed something familiar and ready-to-eat after I crossed out my Long Weekend Plan A to visit the Vegetable Capital of the Philippines.  (pouty face)

My visit to the Victory Liner station proved futile when I found out that all early-morning Manila-Baguio trips the following day were already fully booked, as expected.  I wasn't entirely disappointed however, I just took it as a sign that I should rethink and lessen impulsive travel ideas like this in the future.  Then I called Yellow Cab and got the Garden Special and tomato basil soup.

Last Day 12

Thank you, Italy.

Though not exactly comfort food that I grew up with in the traditional sense, in any case pizza evokes fun memories of my freshman year in college.  Those days, my roommate, adopted roommates (friends who made our room their tambayan) and I just loved getting our double pies at Little Caesars especially after a long day of winning inter-dorm basketball games (oh yeah!), or a successful past-curfew in-and-out-the-dorm stealth operation climbing through fire exits and over dorm gates, or when we simply needed tasty edible accompaniment to our girl talk and the occasional bottle of Jose Cuervo Gold we sneak inside the room under our dorm mistress's strict hispanic nose.
