While reading the prompt, I found myself itching my head, searching my taste buds, and wracking my brain for a "traditional" Fretland family meal. Nothing really comes to mind. Sometimes it's my moms rice and chicken bathed in a "this can't be healthy" broth, and sometimes the kitchen smells of water chestnuts wrapped in bacon. Which, honestly isn't really that appealing of a smell. So when I try and put my finger on a food that the whole family comes home for, a meal to bring in the family glow, I think of Pizza Brava.
There's nothing like a good Hawaiian slice of Pizza Brava to get me to eat with the family. The fresh baked cheesey goodness, the juicy pineapple, and the perfectly seasoned dough, it's enough to drive the Fretland house into a world of elastic pants. Not to mention the convenience of having friends with employee discounts...
My family doesn't have any true to the bone traditions, but what we do have is an eye for good movies and the nifty Blockbuster trading system. What else do we have? Pizza.
It's not uncommon for my sisters and I to shut out the light on the nicest day of the year and snuggle up with a good movie. It's a feeling of peace and escape.
So when Dean bean isn't working overtime and my mom isn't working after work, when Laurel isn't at bible study or meeting with a friend over coffee and Kara isn't off being a cheerleader, and when I am not at church, the pizza comes in, the movies are exchanged, and the family tradition sets in.
As for the title of this blog, I would like to apologize to the fans of Alfys. Dean would also apologize that you have to eat it but... that's something else.
