====================
Howdy Ruth!

-> 
-> Good! What kind of cheese(s) did you use in the mac & cheese?
-> 
Sharp cheddar, monterey Jack, and gruyere in
this one...sometimes I'll switch out the jack for
swiss, or the gruyere for gouda..but my usual
is the top three.  Since it was for someone on 
chemo, I did not add any cayenne or much black
pepper to the dish which I usually do(just a pinch 
so Anne does not suffer). I made it rather bland
and calorie rich to get sustenance into him as much
and as quickly as possible. He's not eating well and 
is having trouble getting enough calories in his system.

Oh yes!! I try not to make things stretch out

sometimes don't have that option!

Makes for efficient cooking!

-> Easier to type while sitting, isn't it? (G)
-> 
I do equally well standing ...if the 
keyboard is at the appropriate height!
But I take my computer"breaks" over 
time..right now I'm cleaning in the 
kitchen, and taking breaks to come down
to the computer for a few minutes.
chat with you soon!
