Take that take out

Almost every Friday evening I can be found having dinner at Caseus. Last Friday, however, I ate at my grandparents’ house. Caseus is known to serve food items such as mac & cheese, pork, and local tomatoes. My grandmother, not knowing this, ending up making exactly that! She also baked apples to go with the pork and, let me tell you, there ain’t nothing like a home cooked meal.

The preparation differed completely from Caseus. The pork was chop, not butt. The pasta used was different and the cheese was a mix of mozzarella and cheddar mixed with milk. Caseus uses “raclette, gouda, comte, and more cheese.” Caseus prides itself for their local heirloom tomatoes, while my grandmother uses cherry tomatoes from her backyard. One dish is certainly not better than the other, but the coincidence was pretty astounding!
