Well at least they're learning

[SeaCat]

This morning I received a phone call from work.

It seems they had decided to do a pot luck tomorrow in work. They weren't suggesting I bring anything in, (The hell they weren't,) but they did want me to know about it. (They usually forget to mention these things to me and I show up empty handed while others walk in carrying food.)

Well I thought about it for a few minutes and decided to bring in a caserol.

A simple recipe for something that tastes great.

1 pound Hamburger
2 medium Onions
1 clove Garlic
Elbow Macaroni
House of Tsang Szechuan Sauce to taste
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
3 cups Fancy Shredded

Dice both onions but keep them seperate. Mince the Garlic. Saute one Onion and Garlic in a Fry Pan. Drain the oil. Add the ground Beef and roughly 1/4 cup of the Szechuan Sauce. Brown the beef. Taste. If the meat isn't spicy enough for you add a bit more sauce and simmer a bit longer. Drain and set to the side.

Cook the Macaroni Al Dente.

Add the Meat and Macaroni to a Caserol Dish. Mix in one cup of shredded cheese. Bake at 350°F for ten minutes. Top with remaining two cups of cheese and bake for ten minutes or until the cheese has melted and is slightly golden brown.

When do we put the other onion in?

Ops, sorry. You mix it in when you add the meat and Macaroni to the dish.

That sounds mighty tasty, cat. I bet if you added a handful of diced Jalapeno's it would be really zesty. Just the thing for the bland palates.

LOLOL

A handfull of Jalapenos would probably kill some of my co-workers. (Wimps)

When I make this for me and my wife I usually toss in a palm full of crushed dried Little Birds to give it a little snap.

I know folks like that. Coarsely ground pepper mixtures are too hot for them.

Now you're talking. I like my food to make my palate say 'How-deeee!'

Holy sweet Bo Jangles what a spread today.

I brought in my caserol.

One R.N. brought in some kind of Vietnamese Stir Fry. She made one platter for the rest and a smaller platter for me. (Mine was traditionaly made by the way.)

ANother brought in Wings. A large platter for the rest and a smaller platter for me. (These were dry cooked the way I like them and hot enough to peel paint.)

Two others ordered a spread from a local Greek Place that makes traditional foods.

We had real Jamaican Jerk.

We even had Dim Sum, real Dim Sum.

We're talking an absolute feast.

Word somehow leaked out that we had food and the vultures circled. We had people from every other unit in the hospital showing up looking for food. The funny thing was I didn't need to say a word in protest. The rest of the staff kept them out of the break room.

We had quite the feast. It was a good thing my Scrub Pants have an elastic waistband.

Then we went back to work.

At the end of the shift I was informed that there was a bag waiting for me in the fridge in the break room. When I looked in it I found the remains of the feast, including the leftover meats for the Gyros. (As well as the sauce for them.)

I'm going to be eating well for the next few days without having to cook.
