Pass on the scrapple, could never develop a taste for chitlins either.

Sadie Mae is draggy today. Her big adventure out yesterday was to the Vet for her annual checkup and round of shots. She wasn't a happy camper when she realized where we were. The shots always seem to make them feel a little down for a day or so.

The key to awesome baked Mac and cheese is to use ritz cracker topping and butter the crumbs before hand.

That brings back memories. My Mother used to do make it like this when I was a kid.

It's how my grandmother taught me to make it.

Sometimes the old ways are still the best!!!

I was at the grocery store earlier, and the place was already a zoo!

I need to go later today for non-Thanksgiving-related items, and I'm dreading it.

My dad and older brother enjoy scrapple, and it’s one of their regional foods my mom has a pretty easy time convincing the commissary on the base to carry. I’ve never developed a taste for it...the texture is incredibly unpleasant, haha.

I have a full shopping list now. I need to decide how much time/effort I want to put into the charcuterie. The price point on the cheeses at Trader Joe’s is way better than the local cheese shop or than Stop and Shop or Big Y, but it’s a 45 minute ride. We’ll see how today goes, I guess.

My Mac and cheese mix will likely come from Stop and Shop though...they sell deli cheese ends in a “Mac-and-cheese” blend that is a little of everything. It’s never repeatable, but its always delicious.

As well you should. It's officially cray-cray time.

God speed, man!

Our store wasn't quite that bad when I left.
I'm in Cold Springs for propane.
Got me a 6 hour day I think.

Ugh. I went Sunday night so I could avoid the stores today and tomorrow. If you go after 8pm it's really not that bad.

Don't forget the secret ingredient that no one talks about. If you want creamy mac and cheese you need to add some

Spoiler: don't look if you're a food snob

Velveeta.

See, that’s the magic of deli cheese! Even the nice deli cheese has some “American” ingenuity to it!

Deli cheese and Velveeta are the same thing? I don't think there's a substitute for Velveeta! It's too bad that there are no Cheesetiques up here as that would be the perfect spot for you to get what you need. Your leftover deli ends comment reminded me of them. They have a cheese dish on the dinner menu there that is essentially the leftover bits of cheeses from the cheese shop area all melted together and served with a warm crostini bread. Different every time and so yummy!

 

[JonA_CT]

No, not the same...but all of the deli cut cheeses seem to melt a little more creamy or nicely than the block cheeses of the same variety. It works well in Mac and cheese.

And that sounds awesome. Cheese is a definite vice, and I like all kinds, haha. Even Stilton has appropriate uses!

 

[Fujidave]

OMG!!! This X100F is just WOW, can`t wait to try it out tomorrow.

 

[snowbear134 65]

Please don't ever send me scrapple.

No problem; I know it’s not for everyone.

That’s how I feel about bait sushi.
