What, are you trying to put on a few pounds? :lol: :lol: :lol: :sick:
 
The area that I live in is not known for "people that are in good shape." :shut:
I know it is not nice to say....but it is a fact....
They just "think" I am malnourished".....not so.....

some like to partake in lotsa food in the stix of Nepa...then they pick on me dammit.... :lol: :smirk:
 
Made me hungry Gamma. I just put on some mac and cheese. No 'maters though.
 
Looks wonderful Gamma thanks for sharing. I will have to post a recipe for ya for macroni salad with shrimp and old bay I have been making for years.
 
My neighbor puts sliced kielbasa in his mac n' cheese. No thanks on the tomatoes for me. It just isn't right. Bacon chunks are good too.
 
Hey Gamma, did you ever try Cabot's "Seriously Sharp" cheese? The aged 3 year Cheddar makes a difference too.

It has been one week today burning a new wood fired cookstove as our only heat source and using it for all our cooking and baking. The first thing I learned is the oven is sealed. Not vented with air currents like gas or electric. So opening the door can give you a blast of steam to watch for. First thing she made was sticky buns. Testing the yeast rise was a little different since the entire kitchen temp was up. The tester next to the stove sort of made a cupcake instead of rising a little...... It's tempting to bake with the normal oven temperature around 300 or 325 without even turning the oven on ! If not careful it can climb to 600* in short order. Once banked for the night, if a little more heat is needed we leave the oven door open before opening up the air.

I've never been over 160 lbs. but that could change soon.

Coaly, I have never tried that type of cheese...will try next time though.
I have tried the generic grocery store brand and it sucked.:eek: So now I always try to get the better stuff.
Thanks for the tip!
Nice stove btw...;)
 
My 7 yr old would love you.
Mac-n-cheese is king in our house.
