Pizza dough

Who would have thought pizza dough could be so entertaining? New year’s eve, we had dinner at Brick Oven Pizza in Kalaheo, Kauai. It’s the tradition in this mom and pop pizza eatery to give children a hand full of pizza dough to play with while they wait for their food to arrive. It worked! Roo played with it at the restaurant, in the car, and back at the hotel. His small case of toys we bring to restaurants didn’t even make it out of the backpack. The next morning our room smelled of yeast, but it was worth the hours of entertainment. And yes, the pizza was delicious. Roo was initially inclined to reject it because the cheese pizza visibly had green oregano sprinkled on it. He wisely reconsidered and we had to cut him off so his tummy didn’t cramp. Playing with dough in the restaurant. A simple idea with big success.
