In my post yesterday, I made mention of “a big lunch involving pot roast and macaroni.” Gina says it was delicious, and has asked me for the recipe, which I would be happy to provide.
Except, there is no recipe. I’ve been making this meal for years, but never exactly the same way twice. I use whatever beef is on sale, and some kind of pasta, or egg noodles, and add whatever I feel like adding. We’ve always called it “that thing with beef and noodles.” It’s a good meal for a Thursday supper, so we can load up on beefy goodness before abstaining from meat on Friday, as is our habit. By Saturday, we are hungry again, and ready to devour the leftovers as a lunch or snack.
For Gina, I will attempt to reproduce the recipe for “Gleeson Goulash,” in the form it took yesterday. I’m sorry if some of the amounts are a bit vague, but I sort of eyeball it as I go, and don’t take measurements.
