I just brought home an immense amount of food for $6.
After stops at the Saucer and the Goose, I went to the Blind Bear and ordered their veggie plate to go. There are about ten different options. I went with the side of chili, the white mac & cheese, the blackeyed peas and the sweet buttered corn (all pictured above). Veggies are $2 individually or 4 for $6 (yes chili is considered a veggie).
I got them to go. Once home I mixed up the chili and white mac & cheese for a white chili mac.
I found a couple packets of Texas Pete hot sauce in my sauce packet drawer at home. I added one to my chili mac creation, and another to the blackeyed peas. I also seasoned the peas liberally with black pepper.
The result? A meal the likes of which I’d put up against any double its cost. There is no way I am going to be able to finish all this food. And it’s good food. It’s not like I went to Denny’s and ordered off their $2/4/6/8 menu.
I just realized… why not dump the corn in with the mac & white cheese too? Mix it all up. The peas will stand by themselves though. I have never been a veggie plate fan in my life but this one is worth a try. You can get banana pudding on it too if you want to mix some dessert in.
