What We Ate Saturday Domino’s had sent me a “free emergency pizza” (I think lots of people got these, because my friend Katy blogged about getting this offer as well!), My lunch leftovers were at least 25% better than the original dish. so I redeemed it that night. I think Sonia and I got it all figured out, though.
