I may very well have Cynthia's Mac & Cheese tonight, my wife is getting mentally beat down by her boss for a day and a half, so she will definitely need some comfort food, and since it seems easy enough to make, she will be my first guinea pig for the recipe.
Oh, it is not hard at all. You just have to have some wrist strength for all the whisking. It's good with a big green salad or some steamed broccoli on the side.
I’m making two batches of soup today curried squash soup and roasted red pepper soup. I’ll let the kid decide which one we eat and which one we freeze. Whichever one we decide on, we’ll have it with some warm, crusty bread that I picked up at the bakery today- still warm from the oven and a salad.
Salmon on the bbq, wild rice and the last of the green beans from the garden. Not soup weather yet. But sounds yummy.
We're having our annual TN/AL game get together. Or, to be more exact, my parents are. Poor Bama (step-dad). He and my step-brother are die hard Bama fans, stranded in a sea of staunch Vols fans. We always smoke several pork shoulders and have all the trimmin's.....cowboy beans, cole slaw, this awesome cheese dip made with velveeta, sausage and rotel, potatoe salad, lit' smokies....amonge other little tasty fixin's. With plenty of sweets. Can't do without the sweets.
I always wonder if any of the natives of China actually eat that crap.Sure, it's tasty, but it's oily, greasy and sure to make me gain 10 pounds.
Sadly, it is impossible to get good Chinese or Japanese food in my hood. Hard to find good Thai, though if you're careful on the Thai menus at least you can find something edible. It's probably safest to go with Korean.
I should go to Chinatown more often and find the good restaurants.

Smart, I have never done that. Guess I should be. yesterday I boiled a chicken all day long with a little organic rice. Should I have added the beet juice?
duh, me

I would probably refrigerate or freeze the beet juice for a day when I'm going to make vegetable stock, or maybe a day when I want purple rice.
Yum. When will be able to send food over the internet???I picked my last two tomatoes off the vine last night and ate them in a salad. One was the first and only tomato that grew on my Black Krim, months after I was ready to give up on it. It was just slightly underripe, but it is supposed to SNOW this weekend. I don't remember ever having snow in October before.
We're having a wine club meeting tonight. First one ever for this group. My wife tried a few bruschetta recipes and I got to be the taste tester. Yum.I would send some over the interwebs if I could.

Vermicelli with meat sauce. Kind of boring, but what are you gonna do?
Not crazy about the word vermicelli. Sounds like vermin. The celli part doesn't sound so appealing either.
