Prepare a Meal

Saturday night I informed teammates of mine that I was going to prepare a meal for them. I told them i was going to go to the store and buy pizza ingredients, prepare a pizza, and cook it for them in my pizza oven in my dorm room. I told them that I would serve it to them around seven-thirty. At about five-thirty I walked over to Lucky, where I park my car, and drove it to Coops. Coops is a grocery store about seven minutes away from campus. When I got to Coops I found pizza crust, pizza sauce, shredded cheese, and sliced pepperoni. After gathering the ingredients I went to the front of the store and purchased them. I then proceed to drive back to campus, park my car, and then walk up to my dorm room. When I got back to my dorm room I started to prepare the pizza. I took the crust out of the wrapper and spread and adequate amount of sauce on it. After doing this I sprinkled a layer of shredded cheese on the pizza. When I was finished making the pizza I put the pizza in my pizza oven and cooked the pizza for 15 minutes at 425 degrees. When the pizza was done I called the three members of my team who live in Cellery and told them to come up to my room and eat. The pizza tasted great. It felt more rewarding eating it because I had to go through some hassle to prepare it. The overall experience felt more rewarding than if I had just ordered a pizza. I agree with Michael Pollan in the fact that American's don't enjoy eating as much as they should. Also, that they eat fast food and don't cook for themselves. I found preparing a meal and sharing it with friends to be a much more enjoyable eating experience. The article attached to this article talks about how many Americans don't know how to cook and that it is an important skill. I agree with this.
