🔍 About the Meal

This was one of those “the meat is still in the fridge, and we both know it’s not happening tonight” kind of nights. Steve’s still team Palermo’s, but I tried to shake things up with Home Run Inn. Big mistake. Huge.

I was lured in by the BOGO. And the weight. I thought, “This box is heavy. That’s probably a good sign.” No. No, it was not.

The Home Run Inn pizza had a crust that could double as a Frisbee, a sauce that tasted like they just whispered “basil” at a can of crushed tomatoes, and sausage that… well, I don’t know what that was supposed to be, but it wasn’t it. The pepperoni was fine — not great, just there.

Meanwhile, Palermo’s was floppy as ever, but at least it had flavor. Steve crushed his. I picked at mine like I was being forced to finish a sad school lunch.

Here’s how it all unfolded in the kitchen:

📝 Thursday Notes

• Palermo’s is still the winner in this house.
• Home Run Inn? Not again. Ever.
• Reminder: “more ounces” does not equal “more delicious.”
• That meat in the fridge? It’s now Friday’s problem.

🎬 Behind the Scenes

I used both pizza stones like a domestic goddess who gave up halfway. Steve devoured his entire pizza like a champ. I nibbled at mine like it owed me an apology.
