Frozen Pizza and Life
I went to the grocery store tonight to hunt dinner, and decided that a frozen pizza was the way to go. The village cheered when I brought it home, and we used every part of it as part of our pact with The Great Creator in the Sky.

But anyway, back to the point.

Our grocery store arranges the frozen pizzas by price. On the far left, you've got the Totinos and other stuff that's food in name only. Then you move to the right with Tony's and then Red Baron and Home Run (blech) in the middle. As you move further right you get to the highest-priced stuff like DiGiorno and the overpriced California pizza kitchen.

As I stared at the pizza freezers making my decision, I had an epiphany about life. I thought back to my high school days when I was more or less a third worlder, and in those days there was no option but Totino's. I ate it and I liked it because it was a treat. I didn't get it very often.

Then I got into college and actually did okay on money, and I graduated to Tony's where possible, going the Totino's route only when money got tight. After graduation, when I got a real job, it was Tony's all the way for years.

Then I got married. Dual income, no kids, and frankly it wasn't an issue to pay more for a frozen pizza. I stood at the freezers tonight and grabbed a DiGiorno for $8.49, an act that would have been unthinkable for the first half of my life.

I'm in my prime earning years right now, making reasonable money with few financial worries. If I want to eat out of the right side of the pizza case, I can do it. No problem.

But a time will come when I can't eat out of the right side. I'll retire and I'll have to watch my money and my savings will dwindle, and at some point I'll start eating Tony's again. But this time I'll eat Tony's with the memory of once having DiGiorno. That might make my pizza night melancholy.

And the end of the story is inevitable. I'll be an old man sitting in my house watching TV, and I'll heat up my Totino's pizza and I'll consider it a treat because I don't get to have it very often. Eventually the police will do a welfare check because I'm not paying my property taxes, and they'll find my mummified body in a chair, holding a piece of mummified Totino's.

I wish they would rearrange that pizza freezer.

i'm just wondering if the fact that I am big fan of pizza, and that I have not had a frozen pizza in ~10 years, means that I am experiencing a quality of life that exceeds that of RainMan. That doesn't seem possible!

It's hard to imagine a better life than mine, but based on the evidence you may have achieved it.

I'll probably get eviscerated for saying this, but I think that the best pizza I've had in years is from a chain: The Rock's Wood-Fired Pizza.

I hate the atmosphere, but their pizzas are heaven.

What if you froze pizza that you got at a pizza place? Is that still "frozen pizza"?

I don't always eat frozen pizza, but when I do I prefer Tombstone.

I will admit, that Ted Drewe's is the shiznit for custard. And the Italian food on the hill kicks major ass. Otherwise, we've got you beat on food six ways to Sunday.

It's scary how much we think alike.

Papa Del's will freeze their deep dish and send it to anywhere in the US. Expensive as ****...but thaw that baby for 3 hours, cook for another 35 minutes...and heaven awaits.

I have done this with Garlic Texas Toast the frozen in box. Its ok but prefer the other method.
When I was in high school and mom on a budget we used a cheap can of biscuits.

The St. Louis food and drink scene is actually very, very good right now. Their BBQ scene is also coming up quite a bit.

This is true. Also true: Kansas City's is still markedly better.
