It's cool in the northeast, so some crusty home-made mac & cheese
s
My grandmother made homemade mac and cheese sm
She died at the age of 93 and I was 27 and I am ashamed to say that I never learned how to make it. She didn't have a receipe. She would also put fried chicken on the stove before church and it would be cooked to perfection by dinnertime. Ask my brother or me what our last meal would be and we both say Mamaw's fried chicken and mac and cheese.
My family made home-made mozzarella,
and it was very good. I was pretty small at the time, so I don't remember the exact process, just that it was done pretty quickly, and a lot of milk was used.
I don't know if you'll save a lot of money making your own cheese. The cost of milk is very high, too, and you need a lot of milk to make cheese.
I'd take her something like a home made pan of lasagna, pie or ....sm
something to eat for a meal.

Go to the www.pamperedchef.com web site and find your stone under products. They will give recipes.
Is the flat stone? Cookies come out beautiful, Frozen french fries or tater tots, make your own pizza using frozen bread dough.. there are more options if you have the stone with the sides.
There is a site I have bought lots of home made things from
and that is Etsy, have you heard about that one? I bought everything from soaps from the cake soaps to lotion soaps, bought some beautiful bling plates off there, hand decorated coffee cups for Christmas presents, flower pens also for this past Christmas. I love to look thru there. Go there and see what you think.

and since I'm leaving in a sec and thinking that someone will wonder what this is - it is sirloin meat cut in thin strips marinated in a Korean bar-b-que sauce (amazingly good taste) consisting of soy sauce, fresh garlic, sesame seeds, sugar, and a few other ingredients.
We usually have just cheese or cheese spread & crackers out (nm)

Your comment about an old HS bad apple -
made me laugh, reminds me of a guy I went to school. He used to sell T-shirts at concerts (the fake one's, not put out by the performer/band); was high most of the time; now he is a copyright attorney - talk about ironic.
APPLE CHIPS NM

Pumpkin and apple pie
And my mother-in-law makes a cherry cream and chocolate cream pie to die for. We go to my parents every year and my mother does all of the baking.
I have an Apple iPod 30 GB.....
and I friggin LOVE it! I've had it for about a year or so now. My stepson has one as well. I use mine everyday while I type for work. I bought a Bose speaker dock. I've got like 1,800+ songs on this thing and I haven't even used up 1/4 of the memory on it. I bought a cable that plugs into most new vehicles so I can listen to my iPod in my vehicle.
My brother has a Zune MP3 player. He seems to like his as well but I don't know much about that brand. I just know I love my Apple iPod and my Bose speaker. The Bose speaker sounds awesome and you can take it outside for parties, etc. I is small enough to put on my desk for work without cluttering it up. Also, when I have my iPod on the Bose speaker....it charges the battery on my iPod.
You can buy cheaper iPod docks than a Bose one, but I really like my Bose!
The Apple Does Not Fall Far From the Tree
I agree with you, Unhappy Camper -
There is little accountability in today's youth as a whole. The kids that are responsible, that know the consequences and live accordingly are the minority. Teens in the military are taught accountability and responsibility if they don't already have those attributes courtesy of their parents.
Interesting article I read in my hometown paper about an underage drinking party where over 25 kids were arrested for illegal possession of alcohol. One of the cops interviewed said out of the 25 parents that had to come and pick up their children, only one, ONE, told their child they got exactly what they deserved and that consequences would result. The others were mortified that their kids were being held, humiliated, and treated like criminals, then berated the cops for having nothing better to do, etc. We wonder why there are problems? The kids want the privileges of being an adult, but not the responsibility, thanks to mom and dad. One cop summed it up precisely. He said when he was a teen, he and his friends did not fear getting caught by the police, they were more afraid of getting caught by their parents.
As a result of such parenting, or lack thereof, it would bother me to see the drinking age lowered. If they don't hold their kids accountable, how can we by allowing the age to be lowered?
What a sour apple you are! It was new to me and probably new news to sm
others....Don't spoil it for others!
I also forgot to add that I got the Mcintosh Apple one!
I even got that one in a car jar because it smells so good!
Apple, the whole board knows you are not a fan of "religion." I have sm
read many of your posts against such. That is fine. Your life. But, the person running for this great country must stand on moral principal and the greatest form of morality and ethical value and behavior is completely written in that wonderful book I follow called the Bible.

I have heard of cloves and apple juice. nm

Eating an apple really helps my cravings. nm

Apple Scruff, asked for the diet
you lost all the weight on, still waiting. Thanks!
that sounds great, with apple juice,
but would you give me some idea of temp to cook at, and how long it might take to get soft? Do you wait til its done to add cinnamon and brown sugar? God bless, and have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
The stuff is costly by SoFla standards too, Apple.

Just had to tell you that yesterday I bought the apple cider vinegar s/m
tablets for severe unrelenting hot flashes. I felt bad all day yesterday and was hoping it was not due to the pills. I only took two because of that. Went to bed early and today I have had a total of 2 hot flashes so far and it is 12 noon. I would have literally had dozens of terrible hot flashes by now. Thanks to all of you who shared your thoughts about ACV and for the dear poster who told me it was available in pill form. I honestly think this may be my answer. I feel like a new person and pray this continues. I can't believe the improvement after taking 2 tablets yesterday!  THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
Ick, DD got a candy apple at Rocky Mtn Choc. Factory & it had a worm in it.

i am guesting and will probably make an apple pie since my poor sister makes HORRIBLE pie crusts. LO

Anyone move from a single family home to mobile home? sm
I own and live in a house in a midwest city in a bad neighborhood (wasn't that bad 11 years ago). I spent the day waiting for the plumber to come and jackhammer the foundation (slab house, no basement) to find a leaky pipe that is flooding my DD's bedroom. Last week, it was the electrician with quotes for costly repairs.
In the meantime, I've really been thinking about selling out and moving into a mobile home. Has anyone done this before? Is a mobile home in a decent park less of a hassle than a regular house? I'm so tired of cutting the grass and spending $$ to fix things and tired of old flooring and cabinets, etc., that are just too costly to replace. I'm single with no man to do these things for me and I can't afford a mortgage on a newer house in a good neighborhood. Some of the pictures I've seen of the mobile homes look really nice and modern on the inside.
Any advice and comments appreciated. Thanks!
Well I figure I can make my own hours & be home when the kids are home (sm)
I worked PT in an office for a while but spent most of my money on childcare in the summer. Full-time in an office was just a nightmare and I felt like I missed a whole year of my children's lives. I want to be in control of my schedule so that's why I'm looking into the cleaning thing. Never thought I would want to do that but live and learn! Some of the most intelligent people alive work as carpenters and similar things because they have learned what's really important in life. Whew....off my soapbox now :-) Good luck to you!
Daniel had a home, a very good home...
with someone in my family at one point.
She met her late husband at a club down the freeway from me. It's not a fancy place, like you say.
She does have a real brother though. That was the connection on our part.
I agree, though. It is sad that all this is coming out the way it is. I believe she was a good person...she just had a lot of problems, mainly drugs. What is really sad is that all of this is going to be seen by her daughter one day when she grows up.
mac 'n cheese
Here's the one I use...it's yummy...enjoy!
1 box, about 8 ounces or so, of elbow mac noodles
shredded cheese (I use the 4 cheese blend usually) about 2 cups...
1 small can evaporated milk
1 can cheddar cheese soup
1 egg
salt & pepper
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cook noodles until mostly done, but not all the way;drain. Mix in a large bowl the cheddar cheese soup, evaporated milk, and egg. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the noodles in with the soup mixture (I usually cool my noodles a bit before adding by running under cool water for a minute or 2). Don't add too many noodles or the mac 'n cheese will be dry.
Spray a round, deep casserole dish with nonstick spray. Add a layer of noodle mix, top with cheese; repeat with another layer of noodle mix and top with remaining cheese. Don't skimp on the cheese either! Add about a cup to each layer, depending on how much you like cheese (we love it)! Bake for about 30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the casserole is bubbly.
It's seriously delicious. It's the only recipe my whole family uses for mac 'n cheese!
mac/cheese
Try adding some dry mustard. It was in one recipe I had and it really helped.
Cheese
any and all kinds
Mac&Cheese
LOL, I made homemade mac and cheese a couple times and the kids didn't like it! But they love the Kraft. My 12 yo niece recently told us that when she was little she though Grandma made the best mac and cheese in the world. Yep, it was Kraft in the box. I wouldn't sweat it. In our family we just always make mac and cheese for the little kids and they're happy.
mac & cheese
Cook 1 lb macaroni according to directions on box and put in crock pot.
Add one stick margarine.
Add 1/2 lb white American cheese.
Add 1/2 lb Cooper Sharp cheese.
Add 1 quart milk.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
Warm in crock pot at least 4 hours (2 on high and then 2 on low).
Unfortunately . . . Mac and Cheese out of a box :)
I can't cook. I had never even cooked before (except warmed up left overs in the microwave). I cooked mac and cheese out of the box, but left the burner on (high) after getting rid of the water and half the noodles stuck to the bottom of the pan. It was a disaster. Needless to say . . . my husband cooks most the time now (though I have learned how to cook in the meantime).
mac n cheese
The best frozen mac and cheese is from Trader Joe's. It's absolutely decadent! Don't be fooled by the fact that it's frozen. Yum.
tell her to get mac&cheese or another side--sm
she doesn't HAVE to eat mashed potatoes. Pizza gets tiring all the time. She may be nice, but she doesn't sound very flexible. Enjoy whatever you decide on. have fun!
...instead as I had no cheese, though. Pumpkin it is! :) nm

Macaroni and cheese sm
I enjoy a really good mac and cheese but have to give it up due to high cholesterol, etc. Once in awhile I cheat and have plain mac with butter, salt and pepper (don't tell my cardiologist). There is a restaurant chain in the NE area called Hard Rock Cafe. I don't know what they put in it, it's very rich, but sooo good. I use Annie's for my grandkids and they love it. I prefer the good old rich cheesy kind with a nice browned breadcrust topping. Oh gosh, I feel pregnant with craving right now! Too old for that!
or may be mac and cheese. I make my own
using elbow macaroni, velveeta cheese, stewed tomatoes and bread crumbs on top with a dot of butter.
Cook the mac first, melt the cheese in macaroni, add tomatoes, put bread crumbs on top and then bake.
Usually have biscuits or rolls with that and a salad.
My SIL swears by mac & cheese
YUCK -- but my kids like noodles -- the egg noodles in turkey broth. They also like the turkey drumsticks and the wishbone. They love Stove Top stuffing, but not homemade stuffing. They don't eat much of the mashed potatos or gravy. They love deviled eggs. Are my kids weird?
One year, I thought I'd make candied sweet potatoes for the kids, thinking they'd like ooey-gooey, make-my-teeth-hurt sweet, but turns out I was wrong. They didn't touch it.
Truth be told, most kids don't eat much on holidays. Too much excitement I think. Try to make sure they have a good breakfast, then let them pick what they want to eat. I usually ask my kids to try 1 thing, just a small amount. When they come back later, I give them a turkey sandwich (if they like turkey) or PB&J. Don't stress yourself out over what the kids are eating. They'll be fine. It's only 1 day.
Need to know about cheese buying
I do not buy cheese but have 2 people on my list for presents this year that I would love to get some crackers and cheeses for. Do most cheese need refrigeration? I would think some would last longer than others, right? I can make this a 1 stop shop at Trader's Joe so need some ideas, anyone?
Never had mac and cheese pizza, but
I have my grandmother's recipe that we grew up on of baked mac and cheese. So much better than the box varieties.
Off topic - mac and cheese
I must be living under a rock, but I was watching the Food Network, and they were talking about restaurants that serve mac and cheese pizza. I might have to try it, it sounded pretty good, but I can't think of anything more fattening - unless you add bacon to it.
I second the motion on the mac & cheese!
And the 2nd or 3rd day, I like to take a slab of it and brown it in butter in the frying pan. Great for any meal of the day, even breakfast!

Broccolli Cheese Casserole
This is a family favorite, and the only thing DH will touch that has mayonaisse in it. Very rich!
Preheat oven to 350.
1 box frozen chopped broccolli
1/2 c. mayonaisse
1/2 c. grated sharp cheddar cheese
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp chopped onion
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
salt & pepper
Ritz crackers
Cook and drain broccolli. Combine everything except the cheese and the Ritz crackers. Pour into greased baking dish. Cover with cheese and crumbled Ritz crackers. Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes.
Philly Cheese Steak
I saw them making Philly Cheese Steak on the Food Network the other day and they used New York steak. Kind of expensive, but it looked really good. They said you could freeze it and then slice it thin while it was still slightly frozen (to make it easier), but I can't see why you couldn't have the butcher do it.
can cubed cheese be frozen?
I have a big cheese platter left over from a party this weekend. It consists various cubed cheeses. Did anyone ever freeze cheese?
Thanks
Wow..we always had grilled cheese too! Thanks for posting..sm
It is very hard to go to all the places that I once shared with my mom. I am trying to keep her in my heart and do all the fun and memorable things with my daughters. Everything I do seems to bring her close to my heart.. and makes me cry for her. Thanks again for posting. Take Care.
