. . . And There’s Recipes to Share

Yep. Tuesday Open Comments Night was a regular potluck this week. Plenty of food, recipes and stories to share . . . we talked about buffets, feasts, cooking, baking, recipes, cookbooks, Asian food, Indian food, Mexican food, fruit, veggies, fish, chicken, beef, eating in, eating out, chocolate, comfort food, ice cream, Klondike bars, champagne, cookies and cocoa, yogurt, licorice, smoothies, cakes, donuts, coffee, cheeseburgers, pizza, sushi, eggnog, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese with extras, running out of food in Seattle-land, okra and rice, cheeseballs with crackers, hash browns, etc. I even heard some mention of spam.

The Link Leak Virus was with us as well. — The Link Leak Virus is a special strain of the indie virus with blogtipping mutations that occur in threes and keeps Open Comment Night a link free-for-all.

Here’s some of the links we shared.

Jesse shared a recipe he and his wife like for after work:

9×13″ Corningware dish
1 package of pre-made ravioli (about 1lb)
1 can of Hunts spaghetti sauce (we like 4 cheese)
pepperoni and mozzerella to your liking

Bake at 300 for about 5-10 minutes for the cheese to melt, broil for a minute if you want the cheese to burn.

It even makes good leftovers.
