"WT" Wednesday

Read on and guess what "WT" stands for. . . Another memorable Wednesday Night Dinner but with some very tough rules for gourmet foodies:

- No fresh ingredients -- no visiting the organic produce section or farmers market

- Shelf-life that is beyond our ages -- aka preservatives, preservatives, preservatives

Otherwise known as cheap, comfort foods from our youth. Bring on the high carb, high fat, high sodium, and unrecognizable ingredients. 

Tuna Noodle Casserole (Joyce): The most famous of all casseroles but tried by few in the group. Ingredients: canned tuna, noodles, can of cream of mushroom soup, and Lays potato chips.

Spam Matsubi (Diana): While technically within the rules, someone found a loophole and made gourmet teriyaki to season the spam. Ingredients: spam, seasoned rice, homemade teriyaki sauce and nori.

Tater Tot Casserole (Thao): The name is a bit deceptive as it is mostly cheese, cheese, and then more fat. Ingredients: tater tots, ground beef, cheese soup (who know there was such a thing), cheddar cheese, and sour cream.

Vegetarian Corn Dogs (Michele): From the freezer. Ever wonder what the faux dogs are made of?

Bomb Shelter Desserts (Shipra): All-American favorites -- Twinkies, HoHos, and generic canned fruit salad.

Drinks (Ray): Budweiser and the evening's house cocktail was the "WT" -- ginger ale and cheap vodka.
