Wednesday chuckles

I got a good chuckle today reading the Food section. One of my favorite things in there is the Recipe Swap, which appears on Wednesday on the second page .. The recipes are always for these dishes that seem to be from another era and run counter to our Atkins-loving, carb-hating, fat-loathing way of life. Maybe they appeal to who we really are. My type of food.

But I digress.

Today’s swap was for Tamale Pie. I like a good Tamale Pie, and I always assumed that cornbread or tortillas or something of that ilk was an essential ingredient. But I was wrong. One of the recipes called for Chef Boy-ar-dee spaghetti, which just may be as crazy as it is delicious.

My other chuckle was in the story about the battle between police and club owners about how often police get called to these establishments. One of the places with a reasonably high call count is the Piedmont Club. I’ve been there a few times, and I’ve seen the occasional person double-dipping a shrimp cocktail. But that said, you wonder what sort of possible high crimes and misdemeanors are going on there.
