When my kids were young, they would always wander in with the age-old question: "What's for dinner?" My usual answer was "food." I'm not good at coming up with catchy names for my kitchen experiments, so "food" covered all the bases.
Over the years, the kids named some things just so they knew what to expect. If you have kids, let them come up with names for your creations, because I've found their ideas are much more interesting than anything I would have come up with.
A few that my brood recognize instantly:
Slimy cake. (chocolate cherry cake)
Green stuff. (pistachio-jello salad)
Cat barf. (blueberry cobbler)
Egg stuff. (egg and sausage breakfast casserole)
My daughter-in-law e-mailed me a few days ago, asking for my recipe for "egg stuff" because my son wanted her to make it. Variations on the recipe can be found all over the internet, but if you search for "egg stuff" you come up empty. It's nice to know I'm still needed, if only for translations of the kids' favorite dishes.
I want cat barf!!! I've been casually googling blueberry things, but yours is special.
