It's a little remarkable what I can find in my fridge and cupboard to make into a fairly delicious lunch. Today I am doing pasta. I don't have any spaghetti sauce and I didn't want to do cream of mushroom something, so I peeked into my fridge and found a quart of half and half, a little bit of a block of colby jack cheese, and cream cheese. In my cupboard I found tomato soup and garlic and onion powder, and powered oregano. Okay. It might sound ghetto and gross and you might be half right; it is really ghetto.
So first I poured some half and half into a pot. I tend to just be an intuitive cook so I never measure anything but I bet it was about a cup or so. Then I threw in the cream cheese, grated the longhorn cheese and tossed it in too. Next was two wooden spoonfuls of tomato soup followed by generous amounts of each spice. Then I mixed it all together and let it simmer for a while.
The result, on penne pasta topped with a dollop of sour cream (because I love sour cream), was a kind of macaroni and cheese thing, only with the hint of tomato and was really quite delicious. I ahve leftovers so I guess we'll see how they taste tomorrow; maybe I'm just so hungry anything is good.
