My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| It's been mentioned before, but what is the difference between a hot-dish and a casserole? I always thought they were one and the same. Perhaps it was relative to where one lives, or what one's parents or grandparents referred to it as. In my family, the two terms are interchangeable. Or so I thought. Tuesday, my wife cooked up pizza hot-dish, a recipe given to us by a friend; pizza hot-dish is what she called it. The recipe, like many we have, was modified to put more pizza ingredients into the dish to suit our liking. Also, it was originally designated to serve a family of four, with only two of us, there are leftovers. This time around, instead of having leftovers, I decided to take some, fresh and hot, over to our neighbor to enjoy. My wife dished some up in a container and I carried it over while she set the table. He was excited to get the hot meal since he hadn't even thought about dinner yet and asked what it was. "Pizza hot-dish," I answered. He took the lid off and looked at it, smelled it and replied, "It smells wonderful, thanks." Then he set the container on the table and asked me to stick around for a minute. "Our dinner is on the table, I should get back." "This will only take a minute. I want to show you the difference between a hot-dish and a casserole." He ducked into the bedroom and returned with a magazine which he opened to the center and unfolded a poster of a very attractive woman. "This is a hot dish, that (he pointed to the container on the table) is a casserole. Now, do you know the difference?" He started folding the hot dish back up and closed the magazine. "Oh yeah! I definitely see the differences, Steve." "Good. Have a nice evening and thank you again for the pizza casserole" I nodded, "You're welcome." Then I headed out the door and back home. Once home my wife asked if he was happy about the hot-dish. "Yes, but he showed me the difference between a hot dish and a casserole. When you make a casserole, you stir it, but when you make a hot-dish, you fold it." I had to explain it in more detail, but I think you al get the picture. |
