Pizza and Computers and Cucumbers

[paragraphs]

I've spent most of today messing around with this computer--something bizarre happened to it last night, and I suddenly had no task bar! And things were opening crazy and closing even crazier. It was all very odd and sudden. I finally got it to reboot and hit F12, restoring it to last working configuration. Victory! Then, the internet totally went wonky on us--we ended up reinstalling the Belkin software, and now, finally, we're fixed. Unreal.

I wonder if I should do another poll titled "So, after the last poll, how many of you have had pizza?"

My son and I have--pepperoni with cheddar and mozzarella. Mmmm very delicious.

The reason for the poll in the first place? I was on the phone yesterday with Nick, who is truly enjoying having his flat and a kitchen to himself. Yesterday he made pizza and proceeded to tell me about all the salami and cucumbers he was putting on it.

CUCUMBERS? Whoa, now wait a minute--CUCUMBERS? On a PIZZA?

He thought I was strange for my reaction and I thought he was strange for doing it in the first place! So, I thought I'd stick a poll up and see if anyone else out there put cucumbers on their pizza.

Turns out it is not a German thing as the other Germans on my flist didn't check cucumbers...only Nick did. So, I think it is just a Nick thing.

When he comes to see me in late Feb. and all of March, we're just gonna have to have pizza with cucumbers so I can give it a whirl. No rush for me to try it before then--I have my doubts how it might taste. Hmmm.

So, now that my computer works again I can get back to that writing thing. Nick's already gone to bed, does not feel well and so sleep called early tonight. Sigh. But it is probably good since I messed around all day and am very behind in my word count as a result. YIKES!

Later--

A lot of people like pineapple on it.

The only unusual thing I've had is probably shrimp. :)

Canadian bacon and pineapple are fine--Hawaiian Style! Works for me.

I just can't believe that I had to deal with this computer all day. The brat. Ooo Nick is reading to me the first George RRM book. It is fun to share it like that. Not all of it--just different passages. I'm uploading the third book to my Ipod right now :)

I like pineapple on it :) ...cucumbers though...that'd be a lil funky in my opinion, but hell, to each his own.

Pizza with cucumbers is definitely not a Finnish thing either and I have to admit that it sounds a bit odd, but hey, who knows, it might be good! :D

Is that your dog in the water? Yeah, it is a Nick thing. And some weirdo in the States since Anthony had it once too--not something he chose though. LOL.

Ahhh crazy--Nick comes up with some weird combos sometimes but I am game to try them. He IS a good cook. :)

C, who can't wait til he is here and is locked up in my kitchen, slaving away over my stove just for ME!

Nope, not my dog but my best friend's dog Bella. I'm her "godmother" since Bella is my friend's "baby". :D

Oh yeah, the combination sounds odd but it might be good, you'll have to give it a try! I'm sure Nick really is a good cook!

Cucumbers? Cooked or raw?

Are you sure he didn't mean zuchini/courgettes?

[paragraphs.livejournal.com]

Nope, cucumbers. He swears it, cucumbers. LOL. Raw until put into the oven. Nutsy!
