Tuna Tartar Pizza

As my girls would say to me, I have turned into a total “bubble head.” A bubble head is what we call someone that has been watching too much tv. And that I have.

Tuna Tartar Pizza

My little brother sent Pete the Mad Men box set (because no one can believe that we have never seen it) and we watched almost the whole first season on Saturday. Sunday involved the Seahawks game (devastating by the way) and as many hours as humanly possible of Golden Globes red carpet action before then watching the awards show. Then more Mad Men. I have a problem.

Tuna Tartar Pizza

I’m not sure if I get Mad Men yet. Don Draper kind of has a sexy thing going on, but I just can’t understand what is going on there. I think I keep waiting for something to actually HAPPEN! And it’s just not… Will it get more exciting after the first season? And I can not get over all that day time drinking and don’t get me started on the ciggies and the sexism!

Tuna Tartar Pizza

Oh, sorry. I am so busy talking about TV that I forgot I was supposed to be talking about this pizza. My parents came over and I made dinner during the Golden Globes. This was kinda reminiscent of when I was a kid and my dad traveled a lot for work. So my mom would entertain us by having us get all dressed up to watch the Golden Globes and the Oscars and we would make “fancy” appetizers. I made a fancy appetizer tonight. I made tuna tartar but on a pizza. And it was freaking good. Like cartwheel good. I will be making this for any and all parties/company up in the near future.
