(Had to have the appointment rescheduled due to weather.)While I’m off getting four very large teeth removed from my skull, you can read one of my more popular posts — The Wedding Post.

Kevin really, really likes his mom’s mac & cheese. I like it, too, but I’m more of a creamy mac & cheese gal. This particular version of mac & cheese has a little bit of a bite to it (from the mustard and the sharp cheddar), but I’m sure that is just exactly what some of you like. This morning on Good Morning, America (which I never watch, I just happened to have the tv on ABC last night when I went to bed) they were having a taste test on four different versions of mac & cheese. The one that sounded the best to me was Carnie Wilson’s “Fall On Your Knees Mac & Cheese.” It has cream cheese. *drool* I should note that she made this recipe before her surgery and before her significant weight loss. I will be making it soon (hey Aaryn, interested?).

Without further ado, I will share Kevin’s Mom’s Mac & Cheese with you. Make it for someone you love.

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp. salt
1 tbl. mustard
2 1/2 cups milk
1 stick of Cracker Barrel Extra Sharp Cheddar
2 cups elbow macaroni
Ham (sliced up; however much you prefer)

Boil macaroni noodles for 5 minutes (no more, no less)

Shred stick of cheese in round 2 quart casserole dish

In saucepan, melt butter. Remove from heat; blend flour, salt and
mustard. Add milk; heat stirring occasionally, until sauce thickens a
little and is smooth. Add shredded cheese, heat until melted, stirring
occasionally. Once cheese is melted completely in sauce, add sliced
ham. Pour boiled macaroni into casserole dish and then add the cheese
sauce. Bake at 375 F for 20 to 25 minutes or until top is golden
brown.

Taking a cue from Jen at Jayesel and having my own “de-lurking” day. Because I didn’t back when everyone else did.

So if you’re reading, just say hello! I’d love to know who runs across this randomly and who is a regular reader.

Please say a prayer for me. I’m going in for some medical tests tomorrow to check up on some weirdness I’ve been experiencing. Not a big deal, but if you would take the time to say a prayer or two, I’d really appreciate it.

I woke up vomiting in the middle of the night and I’m pretty sure it’s a virus that has been going around my hometown. Now, I haven’t been back there, but I’ve been around my mom and who knows, the same bug is probably crawling all over Walmart. Anyway. Bleh. BUT…there’s this. Someone posted it on a Livejournal community last night. It’ll give you a good laugh.

I’m not kidding.

What do your sunglasses look like? They are big and gaudy. I like them that way.

You win a free trip to anywhere on your continent, but you have to travel by train. Where do you go? New England in the fall.

Name one thing you consider a great quality about living in your town/city. It’s got a small town quality without being painfully small. We have most of the shops you could need pretty close by. I love Norman

If the sky could be another color, what color do you think would look best? Purple? I don’t know. I’m fine with the standard blue.

In more ways than one

Heath Ledger found dead in home of Mary-Kate Olsen

The actor Heath Ledger was found dead this afternoon in an apartment in Manhattan inhabited by the actress Mary-Kate Olsen, according to the New York City police. Signs pointed to a suicide, police sources said. Mr. Ledger was 28.

At 3:31 p.m., a masseuse arrived at Apartment 5A in the building, at 421 Broome Street in SoHo, for an appointment with Mr. Ledger, the police said. The masseuse was let in to the home by a housekeeper, who then knocked on the door of the bedroom Mr. Ledger was in. When no one answered, the housekeeper and the masseuse opened the bedroom and found Mr. Ledger naked and unconscious on a bed, with pills scattered around his body. They shook him, but he did not respond. They immediately called the authorities.

The police said they did not suspect foul play. Officials said they believed Ms. Olsen, 21, was in California and said it was not clear how long or why Mr. Ledger had been in her apartment.

So, so sad.
