Frozen Pizza Rundown

Frozen pizza is the staple of any young American male's diet. In fact I probably have one at least once a week which means I'm probably on the highway to diabetes. Oh well, at least I can take a pit stop at insulin lane or perhaps ask Adam Morrison for pointers.

Now the key is achieving the perfect balance between price (decently cheap) and taste (not like the bottom of Casey's shower), which can actually be a fine line.

Here's the thing ... don't buy a pizza that is over seven dollars. Consider it "Brandon's Seven Dollar Rule" because even if it's the best frozen pizza you've ever had, it's still going to feel like a rip-off. Keep in mind that frozen pizzas are using inferior ingredients that store better than their fresh counterparts. It may be the most wonderfully engineered pizza but if you have to heat it up it's not going to hold a candle to a real pizza joint or a Papa Murphy's pizza.

My choice would be Tony's pizza which is extremely cheap (under 5 bucks) and quite serviceable taste wise. Now you're not going to get the same texture as Digiorno, but you're not going to spend an arm and a leg on it. Plus Tony's pizza's are sized for about two people, but one person could easily polish off one of them. It's the perfect size for a quick dinner.

And yes, I just blogged about frozen pizza.

What not to do when bike riding


Today I went for a bike ride. We went down and around Issaquah. Here are the JustSON top 10 tips of what NOT to do on a bike.

10. Hit a parked car.

9. Get attacked by a blackberry bush on the overgrown trail.

8. Run over a bunch of loose nails in the bike lane.

7. Take a "short-cut" that actually adds 10 miles.

6. Crash trying to do a jump at a skatepark with your mountian bike. In front of a bunch of skater high school kids.

5. Sing DMB while riding.

4. Hit a second parked car.

3. Have blood run down your arm.

2. Run into the guy holding the "Dinner specials at local pizza place" sign on the sidewalk.

1. Stay out, thanks to the "short-cut" until it gets dark and have no flashlight.
