I wrapped myself in a sweater and got cozy with Netflix for the rest of the afternoon. I never really got any more motivation to do much. Oh well!<\/p>\n<p>Saturday night our friends came over for pizza night! It&#8217;s been awhile since we&#8217;ve hosted a pizza night. It was good timing too; after the bad and stressful week it was good to be social. We made two thin crust pizzas with various toppings (red onion, goat horn peppers, olives, pepperoni and tomato).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_3684.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-27911\" title=\"IMG_3684\" src=\"http:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_3684-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_3684-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.110pounds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/IMG_3684-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The pizza turned out great and the fresh rosemary that&#8217;s growing in my garden is STILL growing!
