I watched the Rocky Mountain Roller Girls squeak past the Oly Rollers to win the championship in a nailbiting bout. 146 to 147!

Ganache!!!
I have no cream.
Oh wow, I just tried Annie's mac and cheese for the first time, and it is SO much better than regular Kraft. Nom.
You know, when I was Kraft, it's got to be Kraft. I like good mac and cheese (like almost anything that includes "cheese" in the name!), but the blue box just hits the spot sometimes.
Jesse = Kraft.
Pass it on!
Jesse's favorite president was Taft.
Pass it on!
Annie's now makes a Kraft-Alike mac and cheese. Except it's like 5 times as expensive. Probably because it's ORGANIC! I think the box is even blue.
Mac and cheese is one of the things I still have left from when I joined Costco a couple of years ago. It's still good!
The last time I thought I was craving Kraft, I was really disappointed once I'd actually cooked it! It just wasn't the same as I remembered.
(I do, however, make the Annie's stuff according to Kraft directions, i.e. with 1/2 a stick of butter. I've made it according to the Annie's box before and, um, no. It needs the butter.)
My Annie's called for 3 tbsp. of milk and 2 tbsp. of butter, and it was fine. It actually tasted like Kraft, just without the chemical tang. It was a blue box, too!
CJ and I went to a Christmas Craft show today. My main goal was to get ideas for pricing and display for a show I'm doing in early December. I figured I might be able to do some early holiday shopping, but DANG, I spent too much money today.
I did find a prezzie for my dad (wine bottle flattened into a cheese tray), a goodie for CJ (yes, he saw me buy it but promptly "forgot about it"), a little thing for KCD's girlfriend, and you would think that would be plenty, right.
There was a gal selling sun catchers with beautiful Swarovski crystal drops at the bottom. I admired them and in chatting with her mentioned that I've been looking for similar drops for the large ornaments I make. She pulled out a box with a bunch of them that had minor faults to them - most I couldn't detect - and offered them to me for $3 each. These run closer to $5 - $10 each normally.
Then, as we were going down the last aisle, there was a gal selling painted Adirondack chairs. She had one with palm trees on it, but it had a sold sign. Plus her price sheet quoted them at $300 each. Yowza. But she told me she had another palm tree chair and, since it was the last day of the show, she was selling them 2 for $100. Yeah, I gave in. Even though she said she water sealed them, I think I'm going to add another coat, just to make sure.
