Mac/Cheese

About two years ago I attempted to make homemade mac and cheese.  It was a disaster.  I started cooking quite late the night before we were to head up north for Thanksgiving.   Maybe I panicked, maybe I just crumbled under the holiday pressure, but by the time I got done cooking I had two pounds of slimy semi-cheesy elbow macaroni.  No one ate it and I didn’t blame them.

Since that time Dave has been urging me to try again.  I’ve been putting it off because frankly I am not the best cook and the recipe I found (Mac and Cheese with caramelized onions and bacon) was a little intimidating.   Lately my meals have been simple one step things, yea crock pots!

It took me a while but for dinner tonight I actually made homemade mac and cheese and it didn’t turn out horrid!   Dave said it was great and Ajax kept sucking all the cheese off the noodles and then spitting them out.   The recipe made a ton and it was very heavy, so I’m not too sure what we’re going to do with it all.  We’ll figure something out!

A la Jim Gaffigan- BACON! Bacon makes everything better.

Ajax has also started doing this silly crawl, he kind of looks like a little spider monkey because he’s crawling on his hands and toes.  We think it’s the precursor to walking.

Almost walking
Aunt Lisa (the pilot) stopped by and brought Ajax some gifts from a conference she attended in FL.

Sorry for so many posts this weekend.  I had a lot to share!
