Thanks for the Slop, Grandma!

It is Thanksgiving and a lot of people are eating turkey.  I don’t even want to talk about that but I do want to share a recipe that is very unusual for Thanksgiving but could be enjoyed Thanksgiving or any time.  Most of all I’m sharing it because Thanksgiving is about giving thanks and I want to give thanks for my grandmother. 

My grandmother has a super amazing recipe involving pasta, sauce and cheese.  We all call it Slop.  She invented it and it is a delicious mixture of three main foods.  I love the taste, the smell, and even how it looks.  This is an incredible food that I absolutely love. It fills you up and your belly is happy and warm.

The Slop is outstanding.  It is like a level above pasta.  It has flavor, spice, texture and pretty much anything any dish should have.  It is a spectacular meal made by a loving and nice chef. My grandmother is so nice.  She lives in Camarillo so I see her a lot.  She also has a recipe called moon cakes, basically pancakes but they are smaller.  She also makes the most spectacular gluten, free dairy free corn bread.  She slathers agave all over it.  Mmmmm.   I would eat that corn bread 24/7. 

So my grandma is always trying to make good things for me.  And now you can share in the goodness. My grandma has been making Slop for almost forty five years.  She guesses that she has made this more than 450 times.  It has a long and glorious tradition.

So this Thanksgiving I want to share this recipe with you for a really good pasta meal. You can eat it any day of the year but if you choose it for Thanksgiving just add pie at the end!
