I'll never understand why it is that pizza tastes so much better after being refrigerated overnight and microwaved for breakfast. Every time we've had pizza, I've always enjoyed it that night, then kept the leftovers and enjoyed them even more at breakfast-time. How odd.

It's also easier to eat certain kinds of pizza that I don't usually like if it's left over. For example, I'm not usually a fan of supreme pizza, or ham-and-pineapple. (Yech. Pineapple does not belong on pizza!) But after it's been reheated, it tastes just fine.

Not only that, but I can eat more of it when it's a day or two old. I usually eat two or three (maybe four, if I'm really hungry) pieces of pizza when it's fresh. But the next day, I can microwave four or five pieces and still have room for more. I don't actually know what my limit is, though, since there's usually not enough left over to see.

Pizza is a very mysterious invention. There is still much to be learned about it. Maybe I should ask for a research grant so I can explore the deep, unanswered mysteries. (Of course, they're unanswered mysteries because if they were answered mysteries, they wouldn't actually be mysteries anymore and I would have to think of a whole new term for them.)
