WE COOK!

Yes, ah forced my house ta have dinnah togetha. N they LIKED IT! Gawta love message boards…..

Ah stepped in ta make tha main course – stuffed shells a la my mom’s recipe. It might’ve smelled like mom’s cookin, but it has a way ta gae – both in terms of texture (ragu was too watery) n taste (BLAND stuffin – even w. spinach!).

Howevah, ah feel prety proud fer takin tha first step – cookin my mom’s ragu from tha get-gae. Ah can’t share her recipe (nawt that it would help much) but here’s a glimpse at tha ingredients used:

That was mostly fer tha ragu – which ah multi-tasked on n also made lunches fer a few days. An ol’ throwback to my bawstan/nova days, some SUPAH MAC N CHEEZ. This time includin:

At one point in time ah was simmerin tha ragu:

While ah was also steamin broccoli, fryin tofu/peppers/zucchini, n boilin macaroni:

Thas rite, ah ken multi-task.

Anyway, tha shells came out passable – lookin nawt TOO shabby:

Altho a lil shabby, ahll admit it.

We had tons of food, n people came ta visit! Then tha roommates posed (Cuz it was tha first time we’ve evah been in tha same room togetha, nae joke).

Say cheese Roommmates!

Finally, ah was extra happy cuz ah found Gallo, a Guatemalean beer ah enjoyed greatly, sold in my favorite container – tha LITER Bottle. Out here they call it Famosa, but it tastes tha same as cheap….

Updatin ken be fun!
