How to Consume a Pizza Pop Without Completely Burning off your Tongue

          I'm sure I am not the only one who has managed to singe their tongue on a beautiful cheesy, saucy,soft, meat filled pocket of goodness that has just been freshly microwaved only a few seconds before it is shoved into ones mouth. In fact this happens quite often to not only myself but others I know. Though there are ways of preventing it and they are as follows:

          Firstly I advise you to microwave them in stages- for instance heat it up for one minute and then remove it from the microwave, take a fork and puncture it a few times with the ends so that it can release that hot air trapped inside. Then place it back in and heat it up for another minute.
         
          DO NOT SHOVE IT IN YOUR MOUTH RIGHT AFTER THE LAST MINUTE IS OVER.

        Shoving the Pizza Pocket in your mouth only sets you up for failure and pain. As hungry as you are you must think It just came out of the microwave.... it is going to be hot. Not only will it be hot it will be BURNING HOT. So give it a chance to cool off a little. Pour yourself a glass of chocolate milk because really what better beverage is there? Take a few sips and then fetch a fork and knife.

         With your fork and knife you can slice the pocket in half and then into quarters, possibly sixths depending on the size- this way you will not have the mouth watering filling surprisingly explode in your mouth when you sink your teeth into the pocket. This has happened to me many a time and it ruins the rest of the experience because your tongue is too burnt to even taste the rest that the pocket has to offer you.

        Next you should venture through the fridge for some cheese that you can shred- preferably mozzarella to be melted on top. If you have the luxury of having pre-shredded cheese then be sure to use to use it to save time. Sprinkle the cheese gently over top of the nicely cut pocket and then choose a nice comfortable spot to seat yourself while enjoying your pocket. I usually choose my basket chair because it is the most comfortable seat in the house, it is like sitting on top of a cloud.

        Don't forget your utensiles and chocolate milk! Now you are ready to successfully eat your much anticipated meal of a Pizza Pocket. Indulge and love it. You will find that having pre-cut it eliminates the possibility of burning your tongue and letting it cool was also another contributing factor. That extra cheese is quite the addition and makes your mouth water just that much more.

       You are satisfied and can consume the pocket without the fear of harming your poor tongue.
Success.
    
      
This will not be you.

France Bound

     In less than six days I will be boarding a plane to France! I am so excited it's crazy, in fact it's not even real yet. Only when I touch downin the Paris airport will it be real. Not when I arrive to Pearson airport, not when the plane takes off, only when I can see the Eiffel Tower from a birds eye view up in the sky will this trip be real to me. It's probably going to be around 7 AM when we arrive because of the time difference.
     I'm so happy my best friend and I are going together because it's going to be the best thing that has ever happened to us both in our lives to date.
     Jeeze I have to pack but I don't even know how! I mean I want to bring nice clothes but I don't want to bring too much because of shopping :):):):)! Oh golly jee that's going to be the best thing, SHAPPING and seeing the beautiful sites of course. We're going to see all of the historical sites from Wolrd War II and I am bringing my beautiful Canon Rebel t2i so I can document every moment of it.
     I wish I had a fisheye lense but I'll make do with the ones I've got. I think it would just be amazing to take photos of France with a fisheye lense because they're amazing. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I can't pack. I'm just to pumped. You know that feeling when you can't think about anything because you're just too excited? Well that's me right now until next week. vhdipgh isd ghiosd[a. - That's my brain attempting to explain my excitment.
     The worst part is next week I have SO MANY projects due. For English mainly and Writer's Craft.... I have my essay outline for my ISU due on Monday and then I have my ISU presentation and an Interview due Wednesday! Good thing I'm done my presentation... except the bibliography. Oh well that's not too hard. Wish me luck!
     In the meantime here are some beautiful photos of two of the many sites I will be seeing in France.
