  1. Half to full block of cream cheese and a can of diced tomatoes in a sauce pan on medium heat till cheese is melted and is not runny and a nice pink color, meat is optional. Serve with pasta or on toast ( goes well warm or cold on toast)

  2. I want to recreate all these dishes myself after watching this, and I don’t even like tomatoes ????

  3. Not going to lie bro said nineteen nineties and then he said thirty years ago and it about broke me

  4. I like his comment about inconsistent bites. Never thought about that.
