personal pan pizza

As if Target isn't enough of an obsession, the place has a Pizza Hut Express. And do you know what Pizza Hut Express has? Personal Pan Pizzas. These little circles of joy are not new to me - my college had a PHE and I ate these ALL THE TIME. Not for dinner, but for a late-night snack. Rob and I would just pop over to the open-late lodge and gorge ourselves with milkshakes and personal pan pizzas. Highlight of my college experience, right there. YUM. I hadn't had a PPP since I graduated...until now. Now, my blessed blessed Target has brought them back into my life.
Yesterday I had to make a Target run after work, and I might have spent most of the workday daydreaming about eating a cheese personal pan pizza. Not saying that I did, just that I might have.
Part of the allure is that they are pre-made and sitting right there under the heat lamp. Can we say instant gratification? I can just swoop in, grab one, throw some money at the cashier and have that pizza in my mouth before I'm out the door. And ohhhhh it is soooo good. The cheese one is the best. We're talking at least 2 inches of cheese, people. Two inches of CHEESE. And the crust is crusty on the outside but chewy on the inside. And the thing is cut into four of the cutest little pizza wedges you ever have seen. But the kicker? The kicker is the grease. A little oozes out of the cheese with each bite. Not too much - just enough to add the signature PPP cheese-grease flavor.
I've sorta been to Target a lot since it opened. Like, I'm averaging every other day or so. And let's just say that my willpower is about 50% what it should be, so I am buying a PPP on about one-half of my Target visits. And then eating it on the way home. And then hiding the box in the trash in the garage so Rob won't find out why I'm not hungry for dinner.

I totally read "bless-ed, bless-ed Target" (note the two syllables), just for the effect. I had a feeling that's what you were going for.
And a Cheese PPP sounds delish right now. (I'm so hip, with my "delish", aren't I? (Circa, what? 1994 or so?))
I too am totally addicted to Target, its where I always take my nieces to shop. But fast food, of any kind, is my kryptonite. Cant touch the stuff, fear of germs, people touching it, ew ew ew, it totally scares me.
Showing the internet my boobies? Not scary. Eating a french fry from McDonalds? The stuff nightmares are made out of....
Yeah I know, Im weird.
I love the PPP (yeah You know me). It is the grease. Add pepperoni for the PPPP and the extra grease. MMMMMMM.
Damn it, Billy beat me.
AND it's "You down with PPP? Yeah, you know me."
Now I want a PPP. Damn you, willpower!!!!
Ok, this is just FURTHER PROOF THAT WE ARE THE VERY SAME PERSON. When I go to Target, I have to strategically choose my checkstand and then worm my way to the exit in such a way that I don't even SEE the Pizza Hut Express, otherwise its siren song will just SUCK ME RIGHT IN. MMMMMMMMMM. And I hide the boxes from my husband too. By the way, I think this food hiding business may be an eating disorder. One that there is a 12 step program for. We can go together.
Really, there is no need to ever go home again.
It's really cruel that you continue to taunt me with your Target, but I still love you, enough to give you this.
I came across it while Googling John Stamos - checking up on the KLOG project. You are currently #64.
Oh my. mrtl's link is just so....strange and sad.
