Culinary Perfection

There are many classic recipes found in cookbooks far and wide. Simplicity made complex by each chefs own personal spin on the original. Among these basic recipes is one that is held in high esteem to me is the ever beloved: Macaroni and Cheese. Macaroni and Cheese has existed in many forms from instant prepackaged, frozen TV dinner, baked in a crunchy casserole and even made fresh in a gourmet manner. Of all of these, one is a culinary perfection. But to explain this, I would have to go back into history to explain the secret ingredient.

This special item is produced from the every adorable Sorcha. Her mere presence flavors experiences with a uniqueness that is unsurpassed. She makes the most boring and mundane of events into fun-filled adventures always leaving you wanting more. One could even say she is fun incarnate, or fun’s sister that you end up hanging out with because she is just better than fun. Never afraid to be silly, and always willing to take things serious when the time is needed. Having her in your life is like the salad table of a buffet. You see the bowl of bacon bits, and the small spoon of a suggested portion, and you just take the bowl and abandon your Ceasar with the Thousand Islands on it, skipping happily to your table like a little girl locked in the bathroom with a whole cake. And that is what Sorcha is. Sorcha is the Bacon Bits that make life interesting.

And we come back to Macaroni and Cheese. Everyone loves this dish, as either a main course or a side item. I have always found Macaroni and Cheese well deserving of entree status. But while many like it baked with a crunchy breaded top coat, I have always been fond of that which emerges from the sauce pan: thick and gooey with yellow cheeses. But while this is simply good, I must argue that those who have never moved beyond this station in their life are missing something that I could never dream of being without: bacon bits. Once added, everyone looks forward to their cheesy pasta with blissful eyes and ravaging appetites. And that is what Sorcha is. She is the bacon bits on life that make me want to go on, and make me hunger for new things with her at my side. And with that, I hope you find the person who is that extra thing in your life that makes it all so bearable. Until next time, let your keyboard have a taste of pudding, and have a great week.

P.S. Last week was just silly my love, but it was fun writing side by side with you, even if our readers might not figure it out. I love you so much, and I know I’ve been a bit moody since I’ve been under the weather. Thank you for putting up with so much of my lethargy. I’m looking forward to all our plans here and in our other projects. I love you so much my Bacon Bits. <3

  1. I don't know why no one comments here. This is a nice, comfy, well-lit place you've got here. I think I'll burrow in and stay for a while. Maybe have some mac and cheese. That sounds good, right about now. ^ ^
