I made a bit more elaborate dinner tonight than the comfort food under discussion. I used my bargain goat cheese, but did not want to use quite as expensive ingredients as described the other day. So I made a goat cheese risotta - sweet peppers, italian sausage, onions, garlic sauted in wine, olive oil, and soy milk. Add tomatoes, goat cheese, and stir in cooked rice when everything is done, cook for a couple of more minutes, and let sit ten minutes. Very tasty, complemented and diluted the goat cheese without drowning it. I really appreciate all the buffista help in getting a feel for what will do that. Local organic strawberries were on sale at a roadside stand, and pears on sale at the dollar sotre. So my next goat cheese experiment will involve pears and strawberries and either almonds or cashews.

Typo, that sounds absolutely yummy!

(My cereal indulgence is Rice Krispies with a ton of sugar that sinks to the bottom of the bowl and which gives you a wicked sugar high when you slurp up the leftover milk.)

And it's still distinguishably sugar -- still grainy, I mean!

The no holds barred version of that is a grilled cheese made with Velveeta.

Mac & cheese made with Velveeta is food of the gods. Not boxed Velveeta shells & cheese; homemade, where you boil the elbow macaroni, melt the Velveeta, dump the pasta in a baking dish, pour the cheese over it, maybe throw some handfuls of grated cheddar on top, and bake the hell out of it.

...and now I want mac & cheese.

I think I'm going to have a Danish butter cookie and curl up with a book.

But I want some mac & cheese. I haven't bought Velveeta in yonks.

I just made a new entry in the list of criteria for My Ideal Boyfriend: Foodie who makes food like Buffista men do.

Last time I changed the batteries my wii fit synched up pretty quick... after I spent ten minutes yelling at it and finally looked in the instruction booklet to find out I'd been doing it wrong.

eta: am I missing anything good on TV tonight?

Last episode of Colbert in Iraq?

This is me, only with Raisin Bran. I thought I was the only cereal with so much sugar it never dissolves freak. My people!

And here is where we part ways. I love Velveeta. I love mac & cheese. I don't love Velveeta mac & cheese. But that may be due to a vague resemblance to that Stouffer's Welsh Rarebit cheese sauce which my dad bought a case of at a Stouffer's outlet store, and then made us eat. Oh gawd, I thought we'd never get rid of that stuff.

omg last night with Tom Hanks & the puppy I almost choked on my dorito.

I just watched that! That was so random!
