Friday Foofah

I found a new meme! It’s the Friday Foofah And dammit, I didn’t make a note of who led me to it. Crap. Well, sorry. I did find it via one of the other blogs I read, though.

Anyway, onward with the procrastination!

1. Choose upto 5 ingredients from the following list, then describe what you’d make using them (preferably
   edible!) :
   • Butter
   • Sultanas
   • Tomatoes
   • Nutmeg
   • Coriander
   • Eggs
   • Salt
   • Chicken
   • Oil

   Hm… I’d be inclined to take butter, sultanas, nutmeg, coriander, and eggs and make something vaguely pudding-like. Not that I actually know how to do so, of course, but it’s nice to pretend. :)

2. What dish do you make best? Include the recipe!
   Probably macaroni and cheese! I don’t have my cookbook handy (damn moving!) but here’s what I can remember. Check it out:

   Cook 8oz or so of medium shell macaroni normally.
   In a saucepan, combine a bunch of Kraft American Cheese, one can of condensed Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup, and about a third of a can of milk. Heat gently, stirring, until allllll the cheese is melted. Mix sauce and (drained) macaroni. Sprinkle a little paprika over the top, serve with peas. Voila.

3. What dish do you like best?
   Hoo boy, I can’t pick. Off the top of my head, I love: kung pao chicken, pepperoni pizza, the mac and cheese described above, and a well-cooked peppersteak. Also babyback ribs. and Mom’s three-onion casserole.

4. Favorite place to eat out?
   Another hard call! I love Cathay House, the Chinese place near my new dwelling. I also love Black Angus, Tony Roma’s, Chevy’s, and the Texas Roadhouse. Yes, I love to eat MEAT. Apologies to all the vegetarians who read my blog.

5. Atkins – miracle diet or a health disaster waiting to happen?
   Health disaster. Last I heard, ketosis was hell on your kidneys. I’m looking forward (in a nasty sort of way) to the kidney failure of all the Atkins zealouts we have wandering around today.
