No recipe! Just mix it up and bake – be sure to add garlic, too, and black pepper – oh, and I would cook the noodles beforehand.

Yummers!

OK, Biscuit, I will iffen you will. The mac ‘n’ cheese and feta ‘n’ cilantro sounds yummy.

I have posted the “throw-down bread”….I’ll post the Mexican Lasagne from a Picante 25th anniversary recipe book (with my touches, of course!), the 18 degree stew was in Dallas in about 1978 during an ice storm and I pulled everything out to make a decent stew and biscutis!!!

Oh god! It is heavenly!

Got me through grad school. Seriously! It’s a yum fest, and very decadent.

Biscuit – I never truly LIVED until I ate real feta!
But, but…plain ol’ mac-and-cheese made with feta and cilantro? That would be more like Pastafilakides with a Thai accent!
Not the same thing!

Speaking of which, if you’ve never made macaroni and cheese (baked) with feta and cilantro, you’ve never lived!!

Not so fast, Scotia! Do you really think that you can get away with tossing around terms like “throw-down bread”, 18-degree beef stew and Mexican lasagna without offering an explanation, or, lacking that – a recipe or two?

Wow, comfort food is comfort food! Stuff you or someone who loves you terribly has made.
I love my Mother’s chicken spaghetti, my sweetie’s Gumbo with rice, his macaroni and cheese, my fresh apple cake, my 18 degree beef stew, fresh clam chowder, throw-down bread, Mexican lasagna, homemade bread and butter pickles, sourdough pancakes, freezer strawberry jam…many more. They all are soul feeding stuff!!!

We ate Mexican tonight. Coincidentally, I had some fresh tortillas that I rolled up and dipped in salsa!

No butter, though.

It’s one of those automatic skimming robot thingies. I sent him on his way with a flea in his metallic ear.

My sister likes to talk about these things as working at the cellular level.

All I know is that, on a cold night like tonight, there really is nothing like a hot meal of something to make me feel happy.

Tonight I’m working on two ears of corn, currently cooking. That’s the appetizer. The real meal? We’ll see …

What I wouldn’t give for fresh cor tortillas drenched in butter and dipped in fresh salsa!
