Pizza: Patrick's Homemade Pizza
Pretty standard three pizza mix - smoked sausage and red peppers, pepperoni, and cheese/olives. Trevor insists on olives for his pizza, and has for many years. Carfagna's pizza sauce, Italian 4-cheese blend cheese, and some plain shredded mozzarella. Good stuff. The pepperoni pizza stayed in a little longer because the crust on the bottom wouldn't harden up. I ended up pulling it off the pan and baking it on the rack for an extra 3 minutes, after an additional 3 minutes... I should just go to the rack immediately if it's not ready when the buzzer rings. The top and the sides were a little more burnt than I would like. It was still good though.

Movie: Superman Man of Steel (2013)

I will cop to not having seen the Superman movie that came out before this one, the one with Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. I thought it looked dumb, and I just figured this was more of the same. But with the new Batman vs Superman movie coming out, Beth chose this one to get a little backstory. We're all glad she did, because Man of Steel is actually a pretty good movie. The prologue on Krypton is interesting. Trevor was scared enough to sit on my lap during one of the darker scenes, but he was fine.

Pizza: Patrick's Homemade Pizza
I enjoy making delicious pizzas for my family. Tonight, we had our very special Apple, Bleu Cheese, and Bacon. That's always a huge hit. If you're coming over for pizza night, request that one. Also in the mix was a sausage and red pepper, Trevor's standard half cheese/half black olive, and special pizzas for a guest who is gluten-free and doesn't eat dairy. (LINK to review of the gluten-free crust we used) For the rest of the pies, I used my standard dough recipe and Classico pizza sauce.
Pizza was on point tonight.

Movie: Pirates of the Caribbean - The Curse Of The Black Pearl
Trevor has been talking about watching this for a couple weeks, so it was no surprise that when it was his turn he picked it. A great and classic movie through and through. Every time I see it I wonder why Johnny Depp didn't win the Oscar for his role as Captain Jack Sparrow, one of the all-time great movie characters. Like everyone is still transfixed by Sean Penn's performance in Mystic River. As if!

NEW FEATURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Are you guys hip to Dubsmash? It's this super fun app that lets you lipsynch to various audio sources. The kids and I love it. We're going to start doing a Dubsmash for each movie that we pick. The rules are: He or She who chose the movie MUST do a  Dubsmash for the blog. Then anyone else gets to join in the fun if they want.

Trevor gets the first go!

It was his idea to use the empty juice bottle. Clever boy.

Then Patrick and Lauren have a turn

and finally Lauren, Trevor, and Patrick sing the classic pirate shanty

Postscript: So I started this blog so we could keep track of whose movie night it is, and somehow I messed it up immediately. This should have been Beth's week. Ugh. Sorry honey! You get the next one, then Lauren, then me, then you, then back to regular schedule.

Pizza: Ange's carryout
One large sausage, One small half plain cheese-half black olive. By the time I remembered we had a blog, the pizza was long gone. No pictures. I'm sure this same configuration will come up again.

Movie: Ender's Game
I had been hesitant to watch this movie because I heard it wasn't that good. But what I need to remember is that if it's sci-fi, it should at least get a chance. It ticked my boxes for what I wanted for my movie night - it had space, spaceships, explosions, and instead of robots it had an alien species. Did I like it? Yes I did. Trevor said he loved it. Beth and Lauren also approved.
