'Safe'
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
Any mixture of ground beef, onions, macaroni, and tomato products revives wretched memories of the childhood dish "slumgullion" (etomology unknown). I think I would be physically ill if confronted with such today.
In my defense, I am sensitive to the acids in fresh tomatoes, to the point where I get acid burns. It has be fairly well processed before I can tolerate it.

This makes me think of this cheeseburger-macaroni stuff the hospital MADE me eat in the recovery room after birthing K-Bug. They said I wouldn't be allowed out of recovery until I ate most of it. My family - they had deserted me to go to Denny's.
To this day, I can't do anything with cheese, meat, and noodles smooshed together. Nope.
Frozen peas are a wonder. I eat them frozen. I also use them as ice packs.
Now I am hungry and I already had oatmeal. A bunch of oatmeal. I should be full.
Instead my arteries are all clear and happily getting blood to my brain so I can fully realize I want some real food. Preferably with bacon.
It's Ro-Tel. A classic.
I read somewhere that a kid needs to try a new dish multiple times (10?) before liking it. This seems to have been true with my kids -- neither liked asparagus when it was first introduced, but they've both become asparagus fiends over the years.
"slumgullion" (etomology unknown)
I believe it's related to 19th-century mining. I know there's a canyon in Colorado by that name.
Heh. I make a cheese, beef, macaroni, and tomato product. It's easy, and these days my cooking choices are all about the easy.
Ro-Tel is a key ingredient in the macaroni salad we ate growing up. Ro-Tel, Cheez Whiz, cubed green peper, macaroni. That's it.
It supposedly came of a 1950s can of Ro-Tel and has persisted in my family for that long.

Cheese for me is the miracle worker. Put cheese on anything, and I'll have a go at eating it.
I'm all about the easy too. The pizza dough from scratch this weekend was an exception because Leif wanted to make pizza. It's awfully cute to watch a three-year old kneading dough.
