Serious craving. I want to make some tonight, but have ridiculously failed so far if it’s not from a box…so, tell me happy indulgent people, what’s your (or your mom’s ) recipe? I am leaning towards the über-rich Paula Deen version but kind of scared at the same time…suggestions, comments please?

My fav and personal recipe is after boiling pasta, put a layer of sharp cheddar to bottom of pan, add macaroni, mix in melted butter (tablespoon or two if you like), a thyme leaf (for that little something) and  1/3 cup of milk (or cream if you’re daring).  I use cheddar, mozzarella and sprinkle some Parmesan (but more cheddar) liberally and put in oven for 20 minutes.   As the cheese melts, I mix it in because I like it to be somewhat creamy.

 I prefer Mark Bittman’s recipe. The bay leaves add a little something, something

Word, I’m hating.  Out of that whole crazy show, he was kind of a catch.

Hurricane Ike Survival Kit.

tlc:

Ike is making landfall around Galveston sometime during the wee hours of the night and is expected to make its way to the D/FW area sometime tomorrow. Two-six inches of rain and tropical storms winds are likely.

I have provisions:

• One frozen pizza
• One bag of Garden Salsa Sun Chips
• One package of Reduced Fat Oreos
• Two movies - Stop Loss and Smart People
• My computer

And if the power goes out:

• A couple of magazines
• A book, Second Chance by Jane Green
• A few candles
• And if I look hard enough, a flashlight with batteries that probably don’t work

 I have two totino’s pizza, and a handle of Monopolowa. Bring it Ike.

Huge pet peeve

It makes me cringe when people say “wala!” or “wallah” or something instead of “voila.” Are they JOKING? Or do they really not know the actual word?

“I just put it in the microwave, zap it for two minutes and wallah.”

 I had a coworker who over IM would say ‘olla’ instead ‘hola.’ That drove me crazy!!
