I come from a small planet called Bitch PleaseLast night I made one of the least inspired meals of my life. It was some sort of Midwestern Surprise Casserole with mushrooms, frozen spinach, cheddar cheese, and canned tuna. These were the last edible items in the kitchen and as such this casserole was the mealtime equivalent of drinking vermouth mixed with Dr. Pepper. (Although on the plus side I didn't call my exboyfriend from sophomore year of college at 3 am afterward.) It tasted ~okay~. I paired it with a baby arugula salad, in an attempt to deflect the lowbrow nature of the meal overall. The casserole shrugged and laughed like one of Stephen King's evil clowns.

Shit from an Old NotebookAt least you didn't have White Trash Sushi.
(Wonderbread, rolled flat, spread with mayo and Kraft Singles slices, rolled up and sliced. For an extra treat, roll 'em around a Slim Jim.)

Hers featured spaghetti noodles, no spinach, American instead of cheddar cheese, cream of mushroom soup (the Universal Binding Ingredient[tm] of Midwestern cooking) instead of actual mushrooms.
I loathed it so much that it was the one dish of hers that I was allowed not to even have a bite of.

On Thanksgiving my mom always makes a dip consisting of 1 layer each of Philly cream cheese, Hormel chili, and Velveeta, served with Tostitos scoops.
I actually quite enjoy it.
my mom's string bean casserole is actually really good. but the appetizer my uncle prepared last year represented the very best in southern meat-based cooking. check it out: a golf-ball sized hunk of chicken, stuffed with a square-inch hunk of pepperjack cheese, wrapped in bacon, and then, coup de grace, deep fried. disgustingly awesome.
