Today would have been my father's 98th birthday. He's been gone 15 years now, but enjoyed spending many birthdays in the cold Pennsylvania woods, waiting for another "Buck" to come along.<br /><br />Well, as of today, it looks as though we've survived another hurricane season!Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02347232302896024104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-24589024112291244582009-11-30T21:37:01.365-06:002009-11-30T21:37:01.365-06:00Thanks to Jeannie and Clear Ayes for the recipes. ...Thanks to Jeannie and Clear Ayes for the recipes.

(Just enough to cook your macaroni in) Bring to a boil. (Adds flavor, another key step) <br /><br />Add macaroni, I use elbow or small shells, and cook until al dente. When macaroni is done, drain and set aside. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter & whisk in the flour. Cook for about a minute. Whisking the entire time. Slowly whisk in the remaining chicken broth, half n half, & milk. Whisk until combined. You want the mixture to steam but NOT boil.<br />Add in the cream cheese & stir until completely dissolved and smooth. Remove from heat & add in 4 cups of cheese & stir until smooth. Pour cheese mixture over cooked macaroni and stir to combine. Add some black pepper if you'd like. (I would suggest you do) Grease a 9 X 9 inch pan with butter & pour the mac n cheese into it. Top with reserved cheese and paprika. At this point I add some bread crumbs or stale potato chips on top.<br />Bake in preheat 350 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. You want the macaroni & cheese to be sort of jiggly when you take it out. It will set as it cools. <br /><br />Oh...and as you can see I used the word "jiggly." <br />I thought it was actually <b><i> SHOW </i></b> your buddies some...Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14901963533031920633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-64137114742033289782009-11-30T18:23:34.452-06:002009-11-30T18:23:34.452-06:00I heard Tiger changed his name but kept it in the ...I heard Tiger changed his name but kept it in the Cat family: Cheetah!!<br /><br />Way to go Elin :)Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239009770443002740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-79930549772884966422009-11-30T18:03:50.672-06:002009-11-30T18:03:50.672-06:00Fresh off the comedy jokespotcorner regarding Tige...Fresh off the comedy jokespotcorner regarding Tiger Woods' recent vehicular run-in with a fire hydrant: <br /><br />First words Tiger said to his wife upon regaining consciousness:<br /><br /><i>"You did WHAT with my nine-iron?</i><br /><br />Didn't write it, but I gave it four out of five stars.PJB-Chicagohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442942109541224252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-80313796669743991582009-11-30T17:22:13.031-06:002009-11-30T17:22:13.031-06:00Wow, Y'all are in rare form today.

It keeps the corks wet and prevents excessive exposure to air (which can oxidize the wine).<br /><br />Nowadays wineries tend to put the bottles in the cases with the cork end down. Cork down or on the side (as in a wine rack) is the only way to go--<b>never</b> store wine long-term standing up as you see on grocery store shelves.embienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01991001167394653649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-49298662475840921022009-11-30T16:25:10.525-06:002009-11-30T16:25:10.525-06:00Dennis @ 3:46 - Well what else would you expect fr...Dennis @ 3:46 - Well what else would you expect from busom buddies - kiddo!3 of Fourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00841072691408706422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-39764157131032075052009-11-30T16:16:06.661-06:002009-11-30T16:16:06.661-06:00pjb, sure ... i borrowed it myself.pjb, sure ... i borrowed it myself.melissa beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11617567775900623609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5995532066584316410.post-13003684938622742202009-11-30T16:03:58.961-06:002009-11-30T16:03:58.961-06:00Hmm, I dare not dip my toes into the DF lake becau...Hmm, I dare not dip my toes into the DF lake because I'm still kind of new here.
