I need your help. 

Mr. B and I are in the process of our cutting cable. 

The only reason we have kept it for so long is so we can watch K-State football. Now, with ESPN making everyone shift to ESPN+ there’s no reason to keep dishing out dollar bills each month! BUT! The question is, where do we go? 

Also, I should mention we are those people with the old TV that no longer have the ability to watch Amazon and Netflix. Sigh. Are we pathetic or what?! Our TV is still in great shape so I would hate to have to buy a new one. Thoughts on that situation? 

Okay, all this TV talk makes my blood boil because it really should not be this difficult! With that, let’s talk about something more interesting and delicious. Since we are basically in winter I figured we’d ought to make our pizza night a little more festive. This Winter Greens and Pomegranate Pizza is an absolute delight. 

Instead of your basic marinara sauce I opted for pesto. I think the green hue gives the pizza a more festive look. Plus, with addition of pomegranate arils this pie would be an excellent choice for Santa! Or a great option for substance while making the trek to the mall to see Santa. Just saying. 

Alright, I’m off to cut the cable. If you don’t hear from me send help!
