Pizza with multinational friends

Pizza is probably the most widely accepted grad student party food all over the world. Last friday, Lee invited me and some of his friends over for a pizza party. I remember the first time I had pizza made by Lee was on the first day I came to US. It was Lee's turn to cook and in his enthusiasm to welcome his new roommate, he invited his friends Charlie and Jay and had decided to make pizza. He has always been very meticulous when it comes to cooking. He himself makes the dough and the sauce, shapes them into the pizza with chedar cheese on top of it., bakes it for the right time and hey presto, you have a pizza ready to eat.

Coming back to the present, this time we were all supposed to gather at Nina's house for the Lee Pizza. He had also invited Faizal , a fellow student from pakistan. There were four of us each from four different nations. Offcourse as for the pizza , it is getting better in taste with time. Soon, we gobbled up all the pizzas save for the fourth one which got burnt in the oven since we were preoccupied with the banter. Later in the evening we headed off to gameworks the gaming arcade. One of the games I really like is DDR. Save for Lee who has played it since infancy, I am pretty good at it. Offcourse the "table hockey puck" game is also a great time pass. My team won 2 of the 3 games we played. Finally we ended the evening with a couple of doughnuts from crispie creams at midnight. Although my evening went on since I was expected to call a friend...
