Total Lunar Eclipse

Hi guys

It has certainly been awhile hasn't it?  Sorry I've been MIA for a couple of months.  I read in the news today that a lunar eclipse is going to be visible this friday at 4:21pm Eastern time.....except not in the US.  Go figure.  Us folks in the ol' US of A need to wait until January to see one.  Here is the article if you'd like to give it a look.

Beefy! Cheesy! Pasta! Easy!

Dinner Tonight.

You guys this is going to be delicious I can already tell.  I grabbed another recipe from the folk (s) over at Genius Kitchen again. 

(Disclaimer: hilarious inferred curse word(s) placed throughout this post)

Here's the link to the recipe I used which will potentially change the way you think of penne pasta forever.

Now, I've gotta be honest with you.  I don't like recipes that take forever.  So naturally, I made a couple of changes, which you can also do.

1) I halfed it.

2) I didn't use an onion.  I was liberal with onion powder and minced onion.

3) I didn't have any minced garlic, so i just dumped the rest (don't worry there was not much) of my garlic salt in that sucker.

4) I didn't let the beefy cheesy mixture simmer for 20 minutes--I cut that s#@t down to 4 minutes tops.

5)  I added a splash of milk.

6)  I added some italian bread crumbs.

7)  I used sharp cheddar cheese instead of mozzarella since that's what I had.

8)  I also added just a SMIDGE of chilli POWDER since I didn't have the flakes.

9)  I didn't have any green peppers, so I omitted the s#%t outta that.

10) I think that's everything I modified so....disregard this one.

Well there you have it.  Oh wait!  I also added a massive squirteroo of ketchup, a 10.5 ounce can of condensed tomato soup, and no tomato paste, oh and no plum tomatoes...I just used a 10.5 ounce can of italian diced tomatoes undrained.

So all in all the link above really isn't what I am making afterall, but that up there my friends, that is where I got my inspiration.

In conclusion, I think this wins my longest blog post ever award.

til next time,

toodles!
