Looks "yummi" unfortunately i'm a gym guy and eating this would kill my weekly stats for calories consumption .

Sometimes i wish i've never found out about gyms, but i like to pump some irons and do some cardio.

I have a ton of distant cousins that are weight lifters, gym enthusiasts, etc. But on Sundays - or if their mom or gram makes homemade macaroni - they eat it. Once it's in your blood there's nothing you can do. LOL

Hopefully someday you can eat it!

I really have to admit that when my mother cooks i can not refuse to eat, otherwise she will smack me
So i eat all this kind of food only when im in my mother's place.


Hey - Mama's know what's best - and Mama's cooking can never be refused! You say mom will smack you - by any chance - is she Italian?? Italian moms are good at smacks or threatening with the wooden spoon yet! When mom has a wooden spoon in her hand - don't tick her off! LOL

I think I could alter that to my silly diet. I'll try it after we get rid of all our company.

Mama, I could eat that, even if the meat was cooked the day before. Sometimes we just have to do what we have ta do. Looking fine to me. CF

[Mama Mangia]

Thank you CF! I felt so dang guilty about that - there was not difference in taste or anything - but it just seems so sacrilegious! Now I'll have to do penance forever and throughout eternity.

She's not Italian, she's from Spain but the threatening with wooden spoon are similar or worse than the Italian mothers

Indeed i know.

Also i have to say that my mother created a new way of threatening, It's called "Mobile Phone Threat" and it consist on replacing the wooden spoon and hit you in the head until you go away from the kitchen
