In case you have not noticed, our quaint university campus has transformed over the last few weeks into a perilous, icy tundra. Even from our choice location in Clark Hall, Ellie and I have found ourselves incapable of confronting the face-slapping wind and toe-numbing cold that permeates even the fuzziest socks. In this spirit, we recently had one of our most creative, mystical, and overwhelmingly satisfying culinary experiences via the online Domino’s delivery site. We began said experience with mounting apprehension; how could we channel all of our vivid pizza dreams into one, pre-programmed pizza-making website? To our surprise, we were confronted with the real-life configuration of two of our wildest pizza fantasies and one of the most thrilling delivery food experiences of our lives.
To our cold and hungry fellow students, we present to you two whimsical pizza creations which are sure to trip out your taste buds and leave you jonesin’ for more: the Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds Pizza, a visually-pleasing kaleidoscopic array of ingredients and Mary Jane’s Last Dance, an eco-friendly all-green pizza. You may be sitting there reading this article wondering, “How, how can these masterpieces be achieved utilizing a tricky online ordering website?!” But rest assured, it is possible. To achieve the Lucy pizza, begin by selecting thin crust, minimal cheese and normal sauce from their respective drop-down menus. Once you arrive at the ingredients section, let your creative impulses fly. Our Lucy pizza is heavy on the mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, black olives, and feta cheese; however, feel free to add any other tasty morsels to create your own explosion of flavors.
But perhaps tonight you are just chillin’ and feeling slightly less creative. If this is the case, the Mary Jane pizza is an earthy blend of delectable green goodness. Begin with a thin crust, but this time, be a little more generous with your cheese selection and marinara sauce. If possible, add lots of herbs and spices to your sauce for a more robust taste. For starting ingredients, select fresh spinach and green peppers; however, do not let our preconceived constraints anchor you down. Let your inner hippie out by selecting every available green ingredient that strikes your fancy from Domino’s fairly extensive list. You are sure to be presented with a pizza that will satisfy even the most ravenous late-night cravings.
Although the Domino’s online ordering website is quite user friendly, this same attribute is also one of its greatest faults: it informs you of every step of the pizza making process. Speaking from experience, it may seem like an eternity for your pizza to move from preparation, oven, checking for quality to, at long last, out for delivery. However, your wait will surely not be in vain, for this pizza is guaranteed to have you reach a state of nirvana. The final step in this process is, of course, generously tipping your local Middletown pizza delivery woman or man for their valiant efforts in traveling through wind, rain, and snow to deliver your pizza. Remember to always have fun when cooking or creating, and to share your pizza with the ones you love.
Peace and love always,
Rachel and Ellie
