Admit it... who among us hasn't made a casserole or two in the past month alone, and been glad of it? Sure, they're tainted with a plebeian reputation... but who are we kidding? Our kids will readily inform anyone within earshot that we are not cool. So we have nothing to prove. Casseroles have the advantage of being fast, being generally inexpensive, and being easy (The first meal I ever prepared was a tuna noodle casserole, having gotten the recipe from my cousin Debbie, who got it from her Girl Scout leader. It was ghastly, but I was so proud. And the dog didn't seem to mind.). Casseroles also involve a minimum of clean-up and dishes, a true blessing in this family, where the young ones, ordained by God, dammit, to be kitchen trash, pull a disappearing act almost as soon as the wad of gum stuck on the side of the Spode (who am I kidding - Corningware) is redeposited into their mouths. If you too managed to spawn poster children for contraception, feed 'em casseroles. At least you won't be stuck elbow-deep in suds for an hour after. |
