Scott likes the Better Cheddar Hot Dogs, cooked in the microwave in tupperware with a half inch of water. It steams the dogs nicely. Top them off with ketchup, mustard, and relish. Goes great with some delicious Velveeta mac & cheese.
DBA bratwurst sandwich and DBA bratwurst skillet mac and cheese at Taproom, the restaurant at Firestone Walker Brewery.
Got the recipe out of the Mac + Cheese cookbook by the two women who run Homeroom and decided to try it.
Also, one of my pottery plates.
While I am pretty much addicted to coffee, it's tea I turn to when I need comfort. Good old Lipton tea with milk and sugar, or Snapple herbal peach tea, or raspberry tea with a slice of lemon and some honey. I think sometimes I get more comfort from holding the hot mug in my hands than actually drinking the tea.
I needed the comfort at lunch today and the tea did the trick. I'm sure actually eating something helped me, too, as I was spazzing out with a low blood sugar episode.
Food is a great source of comfort to me. Yes, I know how bad that is. I know I should not eat to make myself feel better when I'm sulking about something. But when you’re Italian, food in and of itself is a comfort thing. Sad? Eat. Happy? Eat. It’s raining? Eat. All the worlds’ problems are solved with food. And while grandma’s pasta did give me lots of comfort on Sundays, there’s one comfort food that will always make me feel like everything that has gone wrong will be better, that everything that sucks will be good again, that all I need after this is some feety pajamas, a pillow, a blanket and Wonderful World of Disney on the tv.
Mashed Potatoes. These were a special meal thing. Mom didn’t make them too often because they were a pain in the ass. Peeling enough potatoes to feed five people who all wanted second helpings is a bitch. Trust me, I know. When I was about six, mom realized I was old enough to work the peeler. One of those old fashioned metal things. That bastard would twist and turn as you used it. Wet potato in one hand. Sharp, resistant peeler in the other. Six year old hands. What the hell was mom thinking? It took me about fifteen minutes to peel one potato. And I cut three of my knuckles in the process. Don’t ask. Just know that I’m kind of uncoordinated. So I had to start peeling the potatoes at 4:00 if we wanted to eat by the time dad got home at seven. This was slave labor. Sweatshop type work. I hated it more than anything. But I got to hang out in the kitchen with mom and watch Dark Shadows, and that ruled. And then we’d eventually sit down to dinner and let me tell you, there’s something extra good about mashed potatoes that you bled for.
Plus, there’s the fun factor of mashed potatoes. The castle and moat! You build your potatoes into this huge glob that in your mind looks like a castle (screw Richard Dreyfuss, we were building with our spuds way before he did his alien thing) and then use your spoon to carve a moat around. Fill the moat with gravy. Then dump a spoonful of corn all around the moat and pretend that the kernels are drowning peasants. Make the appropriate “help me” noises. Then wait for your mom or dad to tell you to stop playing with your food and pretend you don’t see dad shaping his mashed potatoes into a hand giving the middle finger to your mother.
That was last Thanksgiving, by the way.
It's time for a cup of tea (I'd make mashed potatoes, but I am too tired to peel).

My version of Mac n' Cheese for school. In the amount of time it takes to cook the pasta, I had a luxurious cheese sauce ready! Poured into the casseroles, sprinkled with more cheese and whole wheat breadcrumbs, it was declared "Best Mac and Cheese Ever" by the kids (and I think the old cook was jealous!)

Deep Fried Mac and Cheese Balls - Food Dudes - Mac and Cheese Festival - Ontario Place - Toronto - June 2016
Had lunch today with co-workers at Chason's Grandsons buffet in Hope Mills, NC. Pictured is a plate from the buffet.
I paid almost five dollars for a piece of mac and cheese twice as big as what is shown here. I ate half of it yesterday and half today. I figure even if I put half a cup of cheese, butter and milk in my Annie's box mac and cheese and single serving of it can't cost anywhere near $2.50! Stupid Alyss not wanting to make a lunch. Saving, Alyss, saving!
The cookie was a gift from my older sister and it fit in the ice pack slot in the outer case :)

Essentially layers of noodles, dried herbs and pepper, flour and cheese (a mix of Mozz and Monterey Jack) in a casserole, drenched with milk and topped with breadcrumbs before being baked. I'm not a huge fan of this approach (originally from www.cookingnook.com/best-baked-macaroni-cheese-recipe.html ) but that's what the school gave me. Next time - cheese sauce baby!

I'm working on my food photography skills. As you can see, I need plenty of work.
This was done with my Canon 5D Mk II, 24-105mm F4 L IS lens, and my 430 EX II with Gary Fong Lightsphere on it.
I used natural lights from the kitchen windows, ceiling lights and my flash. Afterwards I processed it in photoshop for colors and soft lighting filters adjusted to specific angles.
Oh, and before I forget: this is Macaroni and Cheese with Basil, Garlic Powder and crushed Red Peppers in Tostitos Scoopers.
