Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been sick and haven't cooked much. And when I did, Mac n Cheese or Grits were not very exciting. I also need to hit the store so that I can cook. I'm better now, other than I have been also to talk very loud. I keep loosing my voice. I think some people have enjoyed it.
Today I did have a cupcake from
Scratch. They had them at work to promote the Principal Charity Golf Classic. They had chocolate with white frosting and white with some other frosting. I got chocolate.
It was really good. I was good and only ate half. The other half I shared with a friend. So I felt better about eating it. Scratch has stores in Cedar Falls, Waterloo and West Des Moines. And I have to day, I could eat them often. The cake was most and the even with the frosting, not overly sweet. Looking at the website, I want to try more flavors. Sweet Potato, Tiramisu, Salty Dog, Fluffernutter and of course the Maple Bacon!

| Pork and Cheese Papusa with slaw and hot sauce. |
A couple weeks ago, I finally got to try El Salvador Del Mundo. I heard it was great. Some of the reviews said it was good food, but a dive. The food was great and the decor was nice. It wasn't fancy, but it was nicely decorated that gave the feeling of El Salvador. Many maps on the walls and pictures of sites. The Papusa I had was great. I've had them at the farmers market, but they can not compare to right there. The pork and cheese was great. Add the cabbage slaw and the HOT green sauce and I was in heaven. I got one Papusa to try, but also had something else. I wanted to try something I have never had. So I tried the stuffed
Pacaya. I have NO idea what it was. But it was with cheese and fried. So how could I go wrong. The pacaya is a palm type plant. The cheese is stuffed in between the corn looking tentacles kind of what they looked like). But it had a corn/asparagus taste. Also very good with the hot green sauce.
