After the disaster of the last pizza place, we decided to take a trip to Cool River Pizza, a highly rated pizza joint in the area. This would also mark the first appearance of Barbie Girlfriend, who was specifically recruited by Girlfriend Actual to build up votes for "white people food" vs. all the ethnic food I always want to eat. This actually makes no sense, as the entire Chomple staff with the exception of Ketel Boyfriend ALWAYS prefers "white people food".

We started the meal without Barbie Girlfriend who was not present. This, we discovered, was because I emailed her the wrong location. Actual called one of the other Cool River Pizza locations and asked if there was a lost looking Barbie wandering around. There was, and we told her to get to our location.
This was the appetizer we had called Chicken Chips. It's a small chicken ranch pizza cut into little squares. Tastier than the pizza at most places. They ran it to our table still bubbling.
Actual donned some eyeglasses. So sexy. Love women in eyeglasses. Someone convince her to get glasses instead of contacts!
Work Girlfriend loves her sauces and dips. She was very pleased that the chicken chips came with marinara AND ranch.
The pizza. They call it the Mighty Gorge. It has a bunch of toppings that I don't remember but you can tell what most of them are from the picture. The crust was light years better than the last place we went. Tender, gooey and toothy. Actual found it sort of bland but I thought it was spectacular.
Barbie Girlfriend arrived from the other location and dug right into the Chicken Chip.
It was around this time that we noticed the "time out booth". We weren't sure what else to call it...
Barbie couldn't resist trying it out.
I feel trapped!
Actual: That looked traumatizing.
Barbie: It was.
Actual: Are you ok?
Barbie: I want it in my Chomple contract that you won't make me sit in time out ever again.
Actual: We'll look into that.
