Sandy's Pizza

Dinner. My Jquai and I binged, alfresco, on an 18-inch pizza masterpiece, half of which was done "White" --an IRRESISTIBLE combo of kesong puti, mozzarella and parmesan; with the other half "Margherita" flavored-- yummmmmmy with tomatoes, mozzarella, pesto and basil. And we downed the whole pie in 15 minutes tops, just the two of us.

So much for whole wheat evangelization. Tonight, I blog as a semi-penitent backslider.

The name of our 18-inch reward+retribution: Sandy's Pizza. We visit this nemesis of ours about a couple of times a month. Normally on weekends, with friends in tow. This evening was unlike any other. The weekday craving for their mouth-watering white pizza was just too concentrated, it became difficult to ignore. All it took was one text from me to the hubby...one question bearing the littlest of details -- "Sandy's pizza?" and before we knew it, we were seated on that small patio, waiting for our pie.

Pie. Funny that it rhymes with die. Well, that pizza we devoured was, indeed, to die for-- figuratively if you're a pizza lover, and quite literally if you're an over eater. We ordered our pizza in the largest size possible, and our gluttonous appetites helped us ingest all of it in record time. It was pretty much a desecration of Sandy's White and Margherita pizzas and we really should've apologized -- to the clerk who was shocked to see that we had no pie left to take home, and to ourselves, Mr. & Mrs. Life-is-too-short-to-not-be-eating-healthy circuit riders. Needless to say, we drove home nauseated from all the cheese, grease and dough in our innards. And It took us well over a couple of "voting" visits to the toilet to lessen the guilt. So nope, no happy consequences to our daft and off-sched tryst...only a wickedly loud afterthought that starts with "what the ......"

And this is why Sandy's Pizza is our "nemesis" of the moment. The dining experience is almost always too rewarding to pass up . It's so addictive it can shake the foundations of even the staunchest dieters. At this point, I say give it a try... but for heaven's sake, eat it in moderation...18-inch pies are NOT meant to be shared by just two people! ;-)

This next bit is off topic but on cue. Sandy's super famous brother Gabby came out with a self-titled album under Warner Music Philippines. It hit gold two short months after its release... a perfect accompaniment to the symphonic flavors of Sandy's golden pizzas! (<-- that's if you like listening to OPM love songs while eating pizza) :-D
