Big Love Stories

Our neighborhood bakery, West End Bakery, is currently having a pizza making contest.  I had to enter.  I make pizza for dinner at least once a week, so why not?  Everyone who enters gets a free cup of coffee, so really, it was a no brainer…I don’t even care if I win.  It was fun.  And I love coffee.  🙂

So, here it is…the “Pizza Wheel of Emotions”.  For those of you familiar with the simple circular “Wheel of Emotions” chart often used with preschool aged children to teach them about their emotions, you get what I was going for here.  I had one of these charts hanging our refrigerator throughout Leif’s third and fourth year.  And, with Kai cusping his third year, I was inspired to re-visit the concept.

Pizza Wheel of Emotions

As you can see, each slice represents an emotion…happy, sad, silly, surprised, confused, sad.  I used roasted red pepper for the mouths and sliced olives for the eyes.  And, the ingredients were simple enough I could still call the pizza “plain cheese”, which is Kai’s favorite.  It was good fun.  I’ll let you know if I win anything.  I know I’ll enjoy the coffee, regardless.
