Goulash here. My family adds cheese.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Because books.
It's weird that we called it goulash, since my mom was raised in Delaware, not the Midwest.
I've seen a Stouffer's version, simply called "macaroni and beef."
God, I'm hungry now.

Haven't we had the "What did you call macaroni, ground beef, and tomatoes?" conversation?
Of course! It's a little circular, but I figure the conversation itself counts as comfort food. It's filling, not terribly adventurous, and reminds you of growing up.

How is that different from Chili Mac?
I think we called that goulash in my house, but the school cafeteria called it Beefaroni.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I think we need a new digital camera. The quality of pictures is starting to suck. these were the best photos of Owen's 4K graduation I could get.
And I messed up on the Flip and didn't get him dancing to Splish Splash. At least there will be less to embarrass him as a teenager.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
We didn't call it anything around our house because we never made it, nobody else's mom that I knew of ever made it, it never appeared in our cafeterias, and I never even knew it existed until the Buffistas. Am I just a freak (or someone with a really lousy food memory), or is it in fact just not a Bay Area thing since ever? Are there any other native localistas to confirm or refute?

Now that I think about it, I am pretty sure that it was a recipe my mom learned in Home Ec, so that'd be Hayward.
Owen is a cutie-head.

I have had this. Once. I made DH promise we would never have to eat it again.
I've never had the other one (waves at JZ), and it doesn't sound appetizing. (Unlike, say, tuna noodle casserole made with canned soup which sounds delicious in a certain kind of mood. It's all about what you grew up with!)

lisah, if you are around, where in the hell do we find out what our new trash days are with the once a week pickup? I'm not finding a sun article on it, and the city website is singularly unhelpful (I can't even find were it lists my normal trash days, and they don't have the new recycle pickups there yet either.)
