I'm also in the "pineapple is delicious on pizza" camp. I also like a grilled pineapple ring & back bacon on a burger now & then.

I did not realize that was what it was called. ;) They used to make
it on huge rectangular cooking pans, like one might make cookies on but much larger.
Bringing us back to the "ketchup topic"....
Back in college, I had a roommate who was... let's say "acted like he
had had a frontal lobotomy", to be nice. I.e. he couldn't think ahead.
Every week, I would get pizza fixings - just a crust/sauce combo, cheese and toppings - make a big pizza, eat a slice or 2 then put the rest in
the fridge for later that week.
He decided that he wanted to do the same thing. So he bought a crust
mix. That's all.
After the crust is made, oiled and spread out in the pan, and the oven pre-heating, he opens the fridge and says "there's no sauce". Like the fridge was a magic box like the Room of Requirement from Harry Potter.
So he used ketchup (see what I did there?).
Then he opens the fridge back up and says "there's no pizza cheese".
Why he thought that pizza cheese would magically appear since the last time he looked, I have no idea. Now my grandma had given us some of
that gov't cheese - which tastes great on grilled cheese. So he grated some of that on to his ketchup covered pizza dough.
And third time's the charm, he opens the magic food box back up only to complain that there were no pizza toppings. No substitute here. He
puts his processed american cheese topped, ketchup covered, pizza into
the oven.
Needless to say, it did **not** turn out to be a good pizza. And he complained how his pizza didn't turn out like mine.

My grandma used to make "spaghetti like great-grandma" which consisted of elbow macaroni, tomato soup and bacon. Not Italian, but very tasty.

Wow! That was a long time ago. So back in the 1980's, the gov't had "surplus" food (because of the usual gov't reasons) that they would give out to low income or other "needy" people.

I prefer a cooked egg on a english muffin with some ham and cheese. Toasted.
There are toasters that have an egg poacher on the side that you can use to make English muffin egg sandwiches. Usually you can also heat a
frozen sausage patty in the poacher if you like sausage on it.

Once, we bought a box of Chef Boyarde(?sp?) Pizza Mix and all of the toppings we liked plus the Cheese.
It costed a good deal to buy all that stuff. We prepared it and did enjoy it after we cooked it, but decided it was cheaper and easier to go to a Pizza Restaurant when we wanted to eat Pizza.

Went back to buy more to give out but couldn't find anymore of them.
In January I searched and noticed Wal-Mart has them only online for a
few bucks more than I paid for mine.
If You get one, place it on a microwave safe plate when using it
because the halves will flip downward when handling it & causing the beaten eggs to spill out . (using the plate isn't mentioned on the
paper included with the item) I learned that the hard way. And Yes I
did follow the printed instructions.
I currently have one of these: https://www.amazon.com/West-Bend-78500-Breakfast-Removable/dp/B07KMVKDSP
That would be interesting. I wonder how the omlettes come out in the microwave, and if that makes it easier to cook omlettes. I like cooking omlettes, and over the years I think I've gotten alright at cooking them in a pan, where I can flip the egg mixture in the pan without it falling apart.
I'd be surprised if it was cheaper to buy a pizza at a pizza restaurant compared to buying the ingredients and cooking your ownat home. For a while now, it seemed to me that pizza restaurants tend to charge a lot
for their pizza, at least if you're buying a large one. For a large pizza, some pizza restaurants in my area charge about $25 to $30 or
more, depending on the pizza. When I was growing up, I seem to remember
it would often cost around $20 for a pizza that would feed our small family.
Some are less expensive, especially bake-at-home pizza shops (such as
Papa Murphy's). And of course, the frozen ones from the supermarket are fairly inexpensive.

staying with a cousin who lived on a real back road, still had a party

Let us know how good it is. The school pizza was not really like flatbread in that the crust underneath was not thick at all.
You're Correct!
The Prep work does require time but the finished products results is
well worth it
We only add Sharp Cheddar Cheese to the ones we make.
A Pinch of Cheese from the bag on to each half, cook a bit, close the halfs together, cook and ENJOY.

I love watching history cooking videos on YouTube; one series was a man who ate on a UK rationed WW II diet. Part of the ration for the week was
2 pounds (!) of powdered eggs, about the size of a gallon ZipLoc bag. No wonder omelettes are such a thing around there... :)

Throw this one off a bit. :) How about the high school chocolate chip
baked cookies. :)
My son is in his third year of college, and for this generation it's all about the microwave. I had a 10 cup coffee maker and a toaster oven when I was in school, and although some foods took longer, being able to make a quick piece of toast or grilled cheese made it worth it.
Oh, and one of those old cheap tin pots with the immersion heater in it - great for tea, soups and ramen.

Agreed although, to be fair, I really don't like pineapple on much of anything. Back in the 1970s, or maybe early 80s, there were some orange juices that included pineapple or grapefruit juice in them because, presumably, those were cheaper at that time. I used to drink OJ all the time but not when it had one of those in it. I didn't like those fruits
The one time I don't mind pineapple flavoring is when a ham has been
baked with pineapple. I won't eat the pineapple, but the juices don't taste bad on a ham. ;)
My only exception to the pineapple rule is pineapple lumps... they don't really taste like pineapple after all.

"I" can identify with that Loose Screw phrase.
Over here in NZ they used to sell fruit "flavored" drinks with an apple base. Mostly they all tasted like cheap apple juice with a hint of whatever fruit it was advertised as tasting like.
Much like yourself, I avoided them. I find apple juice just too overpoweringly sweet - its ok mixed with other stuff (and a lot of water) but by itself and some rather fake tasting fruit flavour, no thanks.
What is a pineapple lump? o.O
I don't remember them making us any cookies at lunch. The probably did and I have forgotten them. I do remember making giant chocolate chip cookes on round pizza pans in home-ec in jr high, though!
I like a good pizza, and I tend to like pretty much anything from
Costco. One thing about their pizzas is that they're almost too big for some home ovens. I remember buying one years ago and it was so big that it touched the glass window on the oven door when it was in the oven,
and it had to be squished in just slightly.

and sweet.

Some of the kids joined when they first arrived here. The missus went a few times, using the same card. Dragged me along once or twice, but there's nothing to my mind that is a "compelling" buy there, and nothing appears to be any cheaper. Can't see how you'd ever cover the cost of the card.

I reckon I've covered the cost of the membership by fuel alone.
On average the fuel is 10-15c/litre cheaper, which translates to around $6/fill savings. Filling up 2x month, I probably breaks even on the membership fee.

So that begs the question, how much you're paying roughly and where you're filling. I've no idea where you might be able to fill. Generally the cheap servo locally tends to be around the $1.90 mark pretty reliably, making it cheaper than the nominal 4c offering out of Woolworths.

Now there is a controversial opinion if ever there was one.... Maybe you just need to eat more of the right pizza.
Yes, I'm Opinionated as everyone else is.
This was on a food topic, and I've tended to like food for this.
Because I think people should be able to passionately argue for why various foods are great/terrible, or that one should _always_ do one thing or another with a certain recipe.
And, at the end of it, people can eat whatever food works for them, and even if that's coconut (which isn't food; it's just "edible" sawdust), my opinion on the person hasn't changed, because my arguments, while extremely serious, are not actually serious at all.
People can eat whatever they like, and I'm not going to judge them, even if I'm totally going to judge them in the sense of one color being superior to another, when the difference is entirely subjective.
But it's nice when people are passionate about the food choices, even if they're wrong.

Are you eating the Kapok portion of the coconut? While I'm no fan of coconut in general, sawdust seems a little harsh. Unless wherever you
are gets only really dry shredded...
I mean the texture that you'd get in the candy bars that involve chocolate-covered coconut. So, yeah, it's not _really_ sawdust, but moistened sawdust covered in milk chocolate.
That said, my mom's favorite candy bars are Mounds and Almond Joy, so whatever I _detest_ about it must be enjoyable for my mom.
