Pizza Friday

The Safeway pizza the kids like - carefully picking off the pepperoni on their half, while adding mushrooms, peppers, and onions to ours.

I have leftover chocolate pie for dessert - we had a retirement party this afternoon, and I have a lot of mints and about 3/4 of a pie left. This is a super easy and delicious pie; it's my tween's favorite:

Melt together 1/2 cup milk, 20 large marshmallows, and 8-9 oz chocolate (whatever you have - I used about 3/4 milk and 1/4 dark, a mixture of Hershey's and Ghirardelli's). Let cool to room temperature. DO NOT TRY TO SKIMP ON THIS STEP. THE MIXTURE SHOULD NOT BE WARM. Stir occasionally if you feel the need to do something while it's cooling.
When the chocolate mixture is cool, whip 1 cup whipping cream to stiff peaks. Fold into chocolate mixture and pile into a crust - chocolate crumb crusts are the best, although a graham cracker crust or a regular pie crust will also work. Refrigerate until firm. Enjoy.

Last night was grilled pork chops with carrots and Italian bread.
