tonight's fare was Mac'n'Cheese a la Hangover. A perfect mix of bland, carb-heavy ingredients balanced by a healthy green salad with cucumbers and kidney beans.
The mac'n'cheese: with broccoli and chicken; leftovers. The healthy dose of cayenne pepper I added to it when I made it Wednesday was reduced to a hint of spiciness. This tells me the pepper loses potency as the food sits in the fridge.
The salad: The Caesar dressing was too much for the meal, adding to the cheese in the mac and the Parmesan that came as part of the salad mix. Are you supposed to skin cucumbers or not? Is it just a flavor thing? Or does the skin make your fingernails shiny or something? I like them with skin. The Caesar in a bag salad thing is a good buy at $1 with my Safeway club card.
All in all a healthy, filling bunch of American favorites.

I moved to Spanish Harlem with my girlfriend and this is what happened.

there's a lot of nutrients in the skin and it's tasty as well, i recommend leaving it on. one thing my grandma used to do is just cut out strips of skin, leaving stips of skin to make an alternating design. that gives it a really interesting texture in your mouth.
thanks - i did that. plus you can leave the extra skins in the salad.
