If you're the person doing the cooking, this is a good thing!
What was actually cooking this evening here at DOA was Spaghetti and Meatballs. I use Betty Crocker's Marinara Sauce recipe, mixing all ingredients in a blender first because I prefer a nice smooth sauce. I also use only 3-4 cloves of garlic, depending on the size of the cloves.

For the meatballs, I use 12 Tomatoes "perfect meatball recipe". For these, I use a small scoop to form the meatballs, and place them on two pans and bake 20 minutes at 400 degrees. I put about half in the crockpot with the sauce, and freeze the other half for the next time. Cook on high for about three hours and it's really tasty. I recommend using a finely shredded parmesan for the meatball.

This is serendipitous. My son and daughter in law sent me a link to try a biscuits and gravy casserole they found on TikTok.
Here we see the world has left me behind in the dirt. I looked for a link to the written recipe in the comments of the video, looked up the name of the video maker, looked up the site. I simply wanted a list of the ingredients and amounts used, with written directions, because it's easier to look at something like that while you're cooking. Nooo. Nothing like that.
So I watched the thing about ten times, scrawled ingredients and amounts as fast as I could, then wrote instructions for myself as to what the layering order should be.
We're having it tomorrow night. Could be good, could be gross. I try to make requested dishes, but oof. Write. It. Down. Someplace.
See how nicely the English Kitchen gives the ingredients and layering directions to her Magic Chicken Pie:

I loved Log Cabin Syrup growing up, but once I tried thick, buttery Mrs. Buttersworth syrup, that's all I want.
Dept of pretty, but likely gross, Dr Pepper floats.
