Fizzle
It’s all really rather distressing: I may be developing an allergy to pizza.
Pretty much on the spur of the moment last night we decided to go to ASK for pizza rather than cook. We have a nice chicken in ready to roast, but that would have taken until after 10 pm and that’s probably a little late to sit down and eat a large meal. We toyed with other ideas, but the pizza won out.
All good stuff: a rather splendid calzone for me and a spicy pepperoni pizza for Miss Furtle. A couple of bottles of beer and then home to watch the taped Doctor Who. Splendid.
Except that I woke up around 2.30 this morning with acid indigestion. This has happened the past few times I have had pizza in an evening – at some point I wake up in the early hours and reach for the Remegel. This is rather disconcerting as pizza is one of the great culinary delights of our age. I am hoping that it might just be the time of day I ate it. Cheese on its own does not do this, unless consumed in industrial quantities. It is the splendid combination of doughy pastry, olive oil, cheese and toasty goodness that seems to do the trick.
Drat, drat and thrice drat.
Give up pizza or stock up on the antacids? No contest, really.
