My very elderly dad, while talking the other day about what would be on the ‘groaning board’ today, asked if we were having that “cheesy” dish. I was thinking about everything: stuffing, turkey, corn pudding, mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, cranberry jello salad .... and could not think of anything with cheese and I told him as much. He kept trying to remember what it was called & was getting frustrated, then started laughing a little and said “mom used to make it - it had cheese and ... and ... (taking forefinger/thumb & holding them about an inch apart) little WORM things in it”. Oh dad, you mean macaroni & cheese .... and he was then smiling, yes that was it. So today, I am making “Little Worm Things & Cheese” with a saltine cracker topping for him, as close to what his mom used to make as I can remember. Happy Thanksgiving, all. :-)
How sweet of you!
