The Cozy Corner

I'm an above average journey runner

That you are, my friend.

I just spent way more time than I thought I would reading about how to make a guava snow egg

Don't bother. I tried it once and gave up at the grocery store when they asked for unicorn's tears.

Fine
*Cancels order for unicorn eyes* but I WAS going to make my own from scratch

1. You're right
2. I'm soo glad you shared it
3. It does sound embarrassing BUT the tone of this makes it seem cute and nostalgic so I think we're all glad you shared it

Aww thank you. That makes me feel better about sharing it. I guess the plus side is that I have a cute story to tell...

It's honestly quicker to save up and eat it at the restaurant.

Hamburger Helper, not flashy but oddly satisfying and always there when you need me

I've never had Hamburger Helper.

 

[Nylonian]

Extra large pizza.

What toppings?

 

[Dayhoosier]

I've never had Hamburger Helper.

It's almost like you're not American Gen x

I don’t think I’ve ever had Hamburger Helper, either!

I know I've never had it! Lol

It was a staple around my house growing up. Now I just make my own versions from scratch sometimes.

You know what ...that's valid and fair. Different people...different experiences. It's ok.

We had American Chop Suey instead, which I learned this year is a New England thing…

Ok, not sure about that one…..what is it?

 

[Nylonian]

I'm gonna try to make it with local ingredients. I'll report back.

Great song.

It’s hamburg, pepper, onions, elbow macaroni with tomato sauce and some other stuff I can’t remember right now. But it’s good!

That sounds like goulash to me

Question: If you were a meal, what would you be and why?

Ok hear my out - I’ve really put some thought into question and appreciate your question to add it to the conversation.

Loaded baked potato: but the fancy kind no microwaved (baked potato) but not so fancy there is caviar on it. But the skin is well oiled and salted before the oven - I too require sunscreen before baking or I’m burnt. Then the toppings they seem unassuming but they are bad ass! Bacon real (not bacon bits) - I need not say anymore. Sharp cheddar cheese shredded by a person not from a bag (fancy) and sour cream (from carton not squeeze container (not that fancy) and butter (real butter not margarine) and salt. It’s layered with flavor salty, sharp, and rich but it’s basic too. It’s a white tee shirt with a fancy sweater but not cashmere.

And and do NOT forget the green onions please - they add a little bite.

I’m a layered, bougie (kinda fancy) princess type girl who likes white tees with denim jeans and a pretty sweaters. Under all the semi fancy stuff - I’m a girl from corn country who enjoys nice things and good conversations.

I am just sitting here imagining a sentient hamburger that helps by being your sous chef and cleaner. Yes, I'm weird, we've established this. I've got a very vivid imagination... Don't ask me to sketch it.

That sounds really similar to my mom’s cheeseburger casserole(homemade hamburger helper). Hamburger, peppers, onions, tomato sauce, and homemade Mac and cheese. Mix together and bake, top with crushed lays potato chips. Voila!

That sounds perfectly delightful. I used to eat loaded baked potatoes a lot when I was growing up. It was kinda my soul food. Very comforting.
