Wilbert and I enjoy pineapple on our pizza. I know, some people find that really gross, but we both find it really yummy. And we have passed on our love of pineapple on pizza to Joash.
We are also a family who as a Saturday pizza tradition. I know, some people will say this is not healthy, yada, yada. I love it because it is one day where I don't have to think about supper. We have pizza on Saturday's and that is that. Plus, it is one supper that Joash actually eats. I make homemade pizza with dough that I make in the bread maker and fresh yummy toppings. I make a half for Wilbert (with bacon) and a half for me (without bacon) with a slice from my half for Joash (right now just cheese, pineapple ande sometimes little bits of meat.
Joash is starting to like helping make the pizza. He likes to help shake the seasonings on the edge of the crust. He likes to poke the dough and push the sauce a bit with his finger. But his favourite part ishelping with eating the pineapple.
When you put pineapple on a pizza, it is good idea to dry it a bit so it doesn't make your pizza too soggy. So, I put the pineapple on a towel, folded the towel over and told Joash to pat it. He gave the towel a little tap, I went to grab the dough and when I came back Joash had several pineapple peices in his mouth. I told him not to eat it all and ecouraged him to pat the towel. And then I watched as he lifted the towel and snuck another piece. He noticed then that I was watching and he tried to straighten out the towel so it didn't look like he had lifted it up. I then moved the pineaple out of his reach. Then when it finally came time to put the pineapple on the pizza, he would pick up a piece, breifly act like he was going to put it on the pizza, and then stick it in his mouth.
So watch out if you ever have pineapple around when Joash is nearby. It may quickly disappear.
