What’s Stu Cooking

Me: What pizza do you want Sam?
Sam: I’ll have the Hot Shot.
Me: Let’s see, that has pepperoni, peppers, onions, and chilies… That has hot chilies on it, Sam. Why don’t you choose another.
Sam: No, I want the Hot Shot.
Me: It will be very spicy-hot. Pick another pizza.
Sam: I like spicy food. I want the Hot Shot, that’s the only one I want. I’m not picking another one.

Me: OK, alright, if you insist. Time to teach son a lesson.

Pizza arrives
Me: you might want to pick a few of those chilies off that slice. Looks like there are quite a lot of chilies on there, Sam.
Sam: No, I like hot chilies. Takes a big bite. Oh… hoooo, hoooo… Erm, it’s good. Takes another bite. Whoo… fire… coming. out. of. mouth. Reaches for water.
Me: Oh, you got to be tough now and eat this pizza you just *had* to have. Smiles wickedly
Sam: Eyes widening. OK, I will.

Second slice
Sam: Takes a nibble. I think I’m full now.
Me: We’ll just pick those chilies off then, shall we?
Sam: Yes, please!

This how my grandma used to fix Shredded Wheat for me when I was a kid.

1. boil the kettle
2. break up 2 or 3 bricks into a bowl
3. pour boiling water over the bricks and immediately drain
4. sprinkle on 2 spoonfuls of sugar to taste
5. add a splash or two of milk and mix into the shredded wheat

For an even richer consistency use half and half or light cream in place of the milk.

Last nights dinner was brought to you by the letter G (and r): Grillades and grits with Southern greens.
