Final Blog - #3 and #4

# 3 :

I have never ordered Dominos online before, but the process was very easy.  The one thing I did find somewhat negative is on the first page, it says "free delivery", then on the second it says "any delivery charge is not a tip paid to your driver......tip our drivers for their awesomeness."  Our pizza took over an hour to get here and the drive was unapologetic and our pizza was cool at best.  While I know this isn't entirely the driver's fault, he could have said something.  This process is in my opinion not as good as going there and picking it up yourself.  The Dominos in my area is literally a 3-5 minute drive and worth my time to get it there and home while still warm.  But there is the healthy aspect.  I don't view Dominos as a "healthy" meal as much as a convenient meal.  We do love pizza, and prefer more homemade one from an italian restaurant, but there isn't always time.

Dominos Obituary

Dominos died unexpectedly today due to poor delivery service.  Dominos could have taken the town by storm had they hired better help.  Dominos spent many a meal with families in the city of El Cajon and filled a hunger in many of us.  Dominos was working on improving their delivery service when they passed away. 

Italia Pizza will now be taking over for Dominos.  Their delivery staff are always polite and your meal is free if they are over 1 hour.

RIP Dominos.

Assignment #2

We are a very busy family and two very active children.  My husband travels a lot for work and that leaves me to make sure the kids get homework done, get to the extracuricular activities and get fed.  Some changes I have made in the past year have been for health and wellness.  I use coconut oil to cook foods in, instead of vegetable or canola oil.  I try and have fruits on hand for after school snacks, and cereals that are healthy and not full of sugar.  I like to use whole wheat flour instead of white and splenda for baking, instead of sugar.  I have stopped buying chips, cookies and ice cream for lunches and snacks and opt for fruit and vegies.

Picture #1:  carrots, celery, lettuce and vegies for a colorful salad.  I make my own ranch dressing that is low calorie.

Picture #2:  Mayonnaise with Olive Oil instead of regular or lite mayo.  Salsa for salads and taco and mangos and tomatoes for snacking.

Picture #3:  Fat free milk, Trop 50 orange juice because it has less sugar.

Picture #4:  Whole wheat flour instead of white flour.

Picture #5:  For frying or sauteing foods.  I use this instead of canola or vegetable oils and you can use it on your skin instead of lotion.

The changes have contributed to weight loss for myself and healthier eating habits for my kids and husband.

Dominos Pizza Take Out

I went to Dominos Pizza about 1-1/2 miles from my house, and went by myself.  It is on a very busy street and there were lots of people out tonight.  Just outside the door, there was an indigent sleeping/past out on the sidewalk.  I went into the store and was the 5th person in line.  The inside of the store was very clean.  There were chairs to wait in while the pizza was being prepared.  When I ordered I asked if I could take some pictures for a project and was told I could, but no pictures with the employees, as they would need to sign a release, and they weren't prepared for that tonight.  There were 8-10 employees in the kitchen, so my area to photograph was very limited.  I noticed two of them were getting delivery orders ready and 2 drivers were waiting to take them.  It seemed to be a very congenial work environment.  The staff was very nice and greeted me when I came in the door.

I ordered a pepperoni and cheese pizza.  I prefer to have the food delivered to me, rather than going and picking it up.  In the store front away from the cash register in the corner is a refridgerator with drink inside.  I felt this was an odd place to keep it as it might be easy for somebody to just take a drink and walk out.

I waited for approximately 10 minutes for my pizza and left.  I brought my pizza home, hot and it smelled delicious.  My daughter was happy and thought it tasted good.
