Good on everything

The Everything
Listwe're keeping score.

It started as an argument in the kitchen and turned into a numbered list nobody asked for. Every entry has been eaten, photographed, and added by someone who put Mama D's on their plate. There is no end to it. That's the point.

08 entries and counting

Rule 01

It has to be food. We'll argue about cereal.

Rule 02

It has to have a photo. No photo, no number.

Rule 03

Nothing gets rejected for being weird. Weird is the fun part.

An Italian beef

Wet bun, heavy spoon, no debate. This is the one that started it — the reason there's a jar at all.

The Chicago dog

Celery salt had it coming. Sport peppers optional, giardiniera is not.

Any sub you own

Turkey, ham, salami, whatever's in the deli drawer. Turns a six-out-of-ten lunch into a nine.

Melted over everything

Cheese is a delivery system. The jar is the cargo.

Avocado toast

Yes, really. We were surprised too. Now it feels wrong without it.

Cold pasta salad

Toss it with mozzarella pearls and skip the dressing — the jar brought it.

Sausage & rigatoni

Sunday dinner, upgraded. Some of the oil goes in the sauce, and that's the whole trick.

Straight from the pan

Not a meal. Still counts. Nobody said this list was a menu.

Your plate.

This slot is reserved and it doesn't stay empty for long. Put it on something, take a photo, send it over — if the photo's good, you get the number.
