One thing I will not order at a restaurant is alfredo sauce. It's almost never either real alfredo or very good. Alfredo should be made tableside.

There’s a Habanero sauce I really like called Yucatan Sunshine. I put it on eggs, in chicken broth soups and, on pasta dishes like lasagna. It is not so hot that it is only raw heat and no taste. Nor does it have that vinegar after taste of some hot sauces. You would probably like it.

Arrived just now. Great taste, long slow heat but not painful. Love it. Sending some to my daughter.

(Get this:) Hog jowels and sweet potatoes.

We're having Voodoo Pasta, which is a fancy way of saying pasta with smoked sausage and alfredo sauce, add your own cajun seasoning and hot sauce to taste.

[LuFins Dad]

Fresh made Alfredo?

[Mik]

Rana. Closest you can get to tableside.

Should be available in your area. Much, much better than any of the jar stuff.

Voodoo pasta is great because you can dish it up and add seasoning to everyone’s taste in their own dish. I added a bunch of Renauda’s Yucatán Sunshine and some Badia Cajun seasoning. I put nothing on Janet’s.

Use turkey smoked sausage which was indistinguishable from pork or beef in this dish. Half the fat.

Having the remnants of Wednesday’s pork tenderloin and kraut, along with Nash’s potatoes and a salad.

Glad you like it. I’ll need to drop by the grocery store sometime soon to get a couple of bottles. Running low again.

Sunday begins the eating out week from hell. Lucas is back in from London and wants Jinya for his birthday dinner. Monday, he wants to treat us to Benihanas while he still has his employee discount. Tuesday we have a dinner scheduled with the future in-laws. Wednesday is a planned day at a ski/snowtube place. Will be eating at the pub, Thursday through Saturday I am scheduled to work at an event in Baltimore, which means eating on the road at night on my way back. Tomorrow night will likely be my only fresh home cooked meal for the week.

That sounds really good. In other words, I could make up some chicken pasta Alfredo, and then seasoned it up to my taste, or, not at all, to Mrs. George's taste. Is that right?

Edit to add::

I found it at Wally world, Amazon, and jewel.

[Mik]

Yep.

[George K]

@Mik I've made my Cajun chicken Alfredo about four or five times in the last year or so. It's quite good, but making the Alfredo sauce is kind of a pain in the ass.

Would this be a respectable substitute?

[Mik]

Very much so. It’s so much better than the jar stuff that just goes watery right away. Read the ingredients.

I bet it was good. Smoked jowels, I assume?
