Here's the thing...
I've dug through cabinets and fridges that have seen better days and come up with debatably gourmet meals but currently I have a film professor with lofty expectations (17 movies in 3 weeks?!). Therefore, there is no time for dilly dallying around in the kitchen tonight. Pizza, beer and a few classic flix it is!
Directly from the office, after what seemed to be the longest day ever, I pick up a pizza stone, some new laptop speakers, and a papa murphy's pizza. I hit the mail box for my assignments of the evening 'It Happened One Night', 'Morocco', and 'The Palm Beach Story'.... I have a looong night ahead of me.
After a wrestling match which left my kitchen looking like I barely survived a styrofoam blizzard the pizza stone was free. That was actually much easier than getting the thin crust raw pizza out of its cardboard cradle! I was baffled...it must've looked like it was the first time I had ever seen a pizza! It's like the 80lb pizza prepping teen sat on it to get it in there! Finally I was able to kind of roll it over itself, fold it in half and slap it down onto the stone, thinking I could just unroll it once it was on the pizza stone...just ridiculous in hind sight. Now it's a saucy, cheesy smear on a hot stone.
....it's a PREMADE pizza, all I had to do is turn on the oven and throw it in!
To add insult to injury my new pizza stone box in bright yellow letters
says 'Pizza Making Kit for Dummies' all over it!

I don't know if it was the regular swigs of Firestone Pale Ale, a waving of the white flag, or the fact that there were no first hand witnesses to my idiocy but that calzone (yeah, we'll call it a calzone) ended up being the funniest and best Tuesday night on a couch with black & whites brain food I could've hoped for.
They can't all be gems.

Keep your fingers crossed for the cookie dough I'll be attempting to bake in an hour or two!
Anyone know how to get charred day old cheese and sauce off a pizza stone? Do you just soak it or will it break?
