Conversation: Just a Bit

Jackie: I like how this veggie recipe calls for bacon.
Alex: [opens fridge, his ankle pops] oh. I popped my ankle.
James: These chairs are weird.
Shellie: Don't insult my mom's chairs.
James: If you were wearing the chair, I'd probably make fun of you, too.
Shellie: That's not nice.
Alex: Well, at least we make fun of people to their face.
Jackie: What's a souffle? What's it look like? ooh! Bacon Spoon Bread!


Here's that recipe. Interesting.

3/4 c corn mean
1 1/2 cups cold water
8 ounces cheddar cheese, coarsely grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 c margarine
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp chopped parsley
1 c milk
4 egg yolks, beaten
1/2 pound bacon, fried, crispy!!!
4 egg whites, stiffly beaten

Mix corn meal and water to the consistency of mush. Yes. Mush. Add cheese, garlic, margarine, salt and parsley. Stir to melt cheese. Add milk and egg yolks. Crumble bacon and add. Fold in egg whites. Pour into greased 2 quart souffle dish. Bake at 325 for 65 minutes. Serves 6.
