A few days before my package arrived I received message informing me that it would be arriving precisely on July 3rd and that I would want to refrigerate it as soon as possible due to its somewhat perishable nature. This message only served to excite me more than I already was for Arbitrary Day.

On the faithful day I rushed home on my lunch break to rescue my package from the eastern Washington sun. As I pulled into my driveway I could see the box sitting there. I quickly brought it inside and tore into to discover an authentic Chicago deep dish pizza from Giordano's! I cannot describe my elation at this wonderful Arbitrary Day surprise. But let me try: I am a 26-year old adult man, but when it comes to pizza I'm still a 10-year old boy. I will unabashedly admit that my favorite food in the world is pizza. And to have such a glorious regional specimen sitting in front of me was too much.

Alas! I had to temper my excitement and wait a day to bake it and eat as I was having a BBQ the night of my pizza's immaculate reception. But let me tell you, the next day, the next day I ate to my heart's content. Which with a deep dish pizza is about one slice and then I was too stuffed to eat more. Lucky for me, I had leftovers for days. A deep dish pizza is a lot of food for a one-person household.

Thank you unmoderated for a wonderful Arbitrary Day surprise!
