So my wife has been away for a couple weeks, leaving me without adult supervision, and of course only cooking for myself instead of the two of us. So I have been enjoying a lot of wild game lately: slow cooker venison shanks last night, and before that duck sausage, ground moose and gravy, venison sausages, fresh pan-fried perch a couple days when I went fishing, and so on. And most nights I even eat a VEGETABLE!!!!! She is still away for another three weeks or so, and I reckon there will be more feeds of wild game and fish. Bring it on!
Anyways, it is a wet dreary day here - I was up to the camp for a couple hours doing chores in the rain - and when I got home I thought to myself that I could EITHER reheat the leftover venison shank (which is delicious!!!) or I could order pizza from Big Bob's. They make the BEST pizza!!! I only order it a couple times a year, but it is a treat.
So I got to looking at their menu (which I have here on a fridge magnet attached to my downstairs filing cabinet).............and I noticed that they have a "BIG" pizza, at 20 inches. I have often ordered the extra large, which is pretty considerable at 17 inches..........but the price differential for a BIG was not all that much, and I rang up the equation for calculating the area of a circle (my memory was correct, but it having been forty plus years since I used that factoid, I thought I should check) and the area of a 20 inch circle is almost half again the area of a 17 inch circle. So I ordered a BIG meat lovers.
It was awesome. It is not often that I can only eat TWO SLICES of pizza, but there I was. Pictorial evidence enclosed, and that is a full size steak knife for size comparison. <<<burp>>> AND I ate a bunch of carrots first! I believe I have my quota of fat and salt for the day.
