have you seen dr horribles sing-a-long blog? because if you haven't you REALLY should take a peek. ceb and i are madly in love with it. makes me almost want to sign up for an NHP (neil patrick harris...ya know doogie howser) fan club! ceb and i love the show and the soundtrack. we listen to it all the time. check it out an let me know what you think.
in other news...stonewall kitchen crackers are awesome. i am not sure why, but i love them. no more regular saltines for me. from now on it's tiny $6 boxes of crackers when i feel sick. they come in a good variety of flavors and they all taste pretty dang good, but my favorite is the plain old sea salt. jason thinks they taste stale, but that just means there's more for me!
and last but not least mac and cheese. not plain old kraft mac and cheese, but real homemade delicious carlanna's recipe mac & cheese that gets cooked in the crockpot. now i am not much of a cook, in fact i pretty much hate it and rarely do it, but this recipe was so easy that i know i will make it again. kial took some with her for lunch one day this week and her friends ate most of it. she ended up promising to bring a bunch more next tuesday, so i guess we'll be making more this weekend.
here's the recipe especially for shannon:)
carlanna's crockpot mac & cheese
8 oz pkg dry macaroni (cooked)
2 TBSP oil
13 oz can evaporated milk (fat free works)
1 1/2 cup milk
1 tsp each-salt, pepper (fresh is best) and dry mustard
3 cups shredded cheese-cheddar, american combo (i used medium cheddar & colby jack))
2-4 TBSP melted butter (i think 2 was plenty)
2 TBSP onion (dried minced onion works great)
in crockpot toss cooked & drained macaroni with oil. stir in remaining ingredients. cover and cook on low for 3 hours (check yours at about 2.5 hours mine was done).
so simple and so good.
can't wait for saturday! BRISINGER and i will be spending the evening together!!
take care...

Thank you, thank you for posting that recipe! I can't wait to try that yumminess.
And I will be joining you and Brisingr - well, three hours away. :)
i'm totally going to watch dr. horribles. i've heard funny stuff about it.
thanks for the crackers, i'm saving them to have with my t.d. tomatoe soup.
and carlanna's mac is delightful. i made a version of it once, but need to make the real thing!
my date with brisingr will be wednesday in hawaii! cami gets to start it today.
enjoy!
OH yummy! that mac n' cheese looks delish. Can't wait to try it. And letting the crock pot do all the work is the best.
