Ah, gotcha! I’m glad you’re not one of those people at restaurants! Your BIL sounds like he knows how to make a decent plate of food! LOL At our huge Thanksgiving dinners at my grandparents’ house, we (the kids all the same age) used to have “contests” to see who could hide the most amount of food in the mashed potatoes. We’d end up with a pile of mush in the middle of the plate. Then we’d enjoy the hell out of it! Somehow, food always tastes better when it’s thrown in with mashed potatoes. Yum!

I’m not sure why I have a hangup about my food touching. And it’s only something I worry about if I am building my own plate. At Thanksgiving my BIL literally piled everything on top of each other in the middle of his plate. Now, that, I do not understand. =)

If I’m at a restaurant I am so elated over the fact that someone else is cooking for me I pay no attention to how the food is arranged! =) And as for irate customers…pretty sure I’d scream back.

Eggs and cheese tacos? Like breakfast tacos? Okay, I’ll take some too! But add bacon to mine. =)

It is delish and perfect for Christmas morning. Even the kids ate it which definitely means something. =)

A divided plate would have been the answer to all my childhood prayers…okay, and my adult ones. =)

Hey, let me know how it works! I made this for dinner the other night and it is wonderful…and so easy to adjust to taste (i.e. add lots more cheese). =)

My parents used to always do a huge breakfast on xmas morning. Pancakes, eggs, bacon, scrapple, sausages, OJ and milk. And we weren’t allowed to open our presents until after breakfast was eaten. I think they did that because we’d dawdle over breakfast every other morning, and they wanted to see if we could actually eat before our food had a chance to get cold. Our present to them. LOL

I do have a question though … why can’t your food touch? Doesn’t it all go in the same place anyway? If you had all of those ingredients separately (not in a casserole), would they be allowed to touch? I’ve always wondered that about people who are squeamish about food touching. The first time I saw someone freak out about it, I looked at her like she had 4 heads. But I really feel bad for the cooks (or chefs) at restaurants who have irate customers screaming “TAKE THIS BACK. IT’S TOUCHING!”. My Hubby was a short order cook who had to deal with this alot.

Sorry, but I want to change my order:

I’ll take just eggs and cheese tacos, plz.

Thanks for putting the eggs in my head, I’m off to the kitchen now.

Oh my stars! That sounds delicious! I usually make one with sausage in it. But I’m going to try this one this year. Sean doesn’t care about his food touching, but he hates casseroles.

I ate with a divided plate til I was like twelve. I hate food mixing, except in casseroles. I only eat one food at a time too. Weird, huh?
