The Cheese and Pasta Contest

Hi Readers:

Yep, you heard it here first. We're holding a best cheese and pasta dish because it's, well, that time of year. Edna doesn't like talking about religion in the cafe or thereabouts, including the blog, cause talking leads to arguments and that doesn't sell food. "We're here to sell food," according to Edna. Now, she's not really bad that way. It doesn't bother her any for people to say grace--long as it isn't Earl. (Don't ask; read below somewhere I wrote about why not.)

OK, the contest for Lent--there I said it! We would have called it the macaroni and cheese contest but some of our clientele prefer rotini or other forms. If this causes a controversy, maybe we'll have to have separate classes. It can be cow cheese, goat cheese, goldfish cheese, but it has to have at least cheese and pasta. The recipe has to be original like no mixes, but you can add to the ingredients if you want. The four Lutheran pastors will be judges based on blindfold tasting. The prize winner has the dish named after her or him and picture in the paper. We might even try to serve it in the winner's honor at the county fair.

Looks like snow and the bread truck all at once. Got to get hopping. Have a good week, cook up an entry for the contest maybe? Thanks for coming in.

PS. This contest is for food, not plates or dishes to eat off. Thought I should make that clear.
