the only time i don't use ketchup on mac-n-cheese is when it is
made with smoked pulled pork. also, my wife always makes it.
she gives me a ramekin full so i can "taste it before _ruining_
the pile on my plate with ketchup". :)

sauce on it.  i like things swampy, Mom likes them more
like a desert.

never thought of it as swampy, lol, but i like things quite saucy

Bruce coined the term.  American pizza is a cheese swamp.

also. there's always enough sauce left after a pasta bowl full
of spaghetti to sop up with a few slices of bread. since there's
already enough simple carbs in the pasta i can really do without
in the first place, i don't do that anymore, i finish it with a
spoon. :)

I prefer just enough sauce to coat the pasta.

In fact, after last Saturday's veal Parmesan, I decided that next
time he wants veal Parm, I'll just make a little browned butter
and put it on my veal.  I couldn't taste a damned thing through
the red sauce and cheese.  It could have been veal, pork, turkey,
or Wonder Bread.
