A major theory in my life yesterday was proven to be wrong, and I think there are CERTAIN people who will now forever mock me, but that's okay. What I am about to admit needs to be said:

I, Miss Parker, made a Lean Cuisine pepperoni pizza for lunch... in the microwave. Yes, the rumors are true. I caved. and it was... good!

I suppose I should take a moment to explain why this was such a feat: I have this whole theory about cooking pizza in the microwave. I [was] convinced that the crust would not come out crispy, but instead that it would be soggy. SO, all summer I would put my t.v. dinner pizzas in the oven and wait, and wait, and watch everyone else eat, and wait, while my "microwave pizza" took 30 minutes to cook in the oven, (while everyone else's took 3 minutes in the microwave). But I was convinced that it was better that way.

Out of all fairness it wasn't completely my fault that I seemingly caved to peer pressure--there was no oven around. I was at school where the teacher's lounge only contains a microwave, no ovens. When I bought my Lean Cuisine pepperoni pizza this thought did not cross my mind. So on Wednesday, January 2, 2005 when I had no choice but to either cook it in the microwave or starve, I did the former. (is that right? well you know what I mean... obviously I just cooked the darn thing!)
And I ate it.
And I enjoyed it.
