This young man is a delight whether he’s yelling at the eggs or not.

(he doesn’t yell much if at all in these long format videos)

“You will kill somebody.”

“Tastes like somebody killed Italy.”

Stronger than my desire to drop out of college.

Last night I made goulash from the 1971 edition of Better Homes and Gardens Good Food on a Budget.

My gramma used to make us goulash, but I’d never made it for myself. Plus I spent the better part of the last 20 years being a vegetarian, so now I’m ready to revisit some comfort foods of my childhood.

This one was a winner. Both my kids loved it and have already fought over who gets the leftovers. This was easy, fairly cheap, and super comforting. I did make one kinda big change by using ground hamburger (and no added shortening) instead of cubed chuck, but this was how my gramma always made it. Otherwise I pretty much followed the recipe, but only simmered it for maybe 20-30 minutes once the sauce mixture was combined. There’s really no reason to let it go 1-2 hours. I will be making it again, 10 out of 10.

For the zombies of the family
