This has been one of those weeks. We decided to move on Monday (posts will start originating in Buffalo, NY sometime this summer!) and the repercussions of that decision (mostly in terms of long lists of things to do!) have drained our energy. We couldn't face cooking tonight and just needed to veg. Cottage Inn to the rescue!!!

Prep Notes
Difficulty: Delivery was my level of difficulty tonight.

My mom loves Cottage Inn pizza and, as she lives in Washington, DC, doesn't get to have it unless she's visiting us. Since tonight is the last night of her visit and we haven't squeezed it in yet, Cottage Inn it is. This is also a nice break from cooking as tonight is also the night we're celebrating our dog, C's, birthday. C was a rescue, so we don't know his actual birthday, only that he was about two when we got him last January 6. We wanted to celebrate with my mom, so the cake and presents have come one day early for our little Epiphany boy. C has had a rough adjustment, as we're his 8th home (yes, you read that correctly) and he is only just beginning to really believe he's our dog for good. Thus, it's a celebration of many joys and milestones, and pizza and cake (Did I forget to mention beer? Well, not for C.) seem appropriate for our feast. Happy third, C!

Well today was just one of those Monday's. I had even made rice ahead of time for our curried fried rice recipe (check back tomorrow!), but we just couldn't wrap our minds around cooking. So Cottage Inn delivery came to the rescue. It was good and exactly the rest we needed from an already long work week!
