Days of Grace 5-21-10
1. The backyard deck is magically appearing before my very eyes. Very cool.
2. Annie’s Organic Macaroni & Cheese. We were talking at work the other day, and one of the Haitian women asked me if it was true that all white Americans love Kraft Mac & Cheese. I had to agree that yes, yes we did. She informed me that it’s disgusting, and I agreed that I know that very well, but that it’s nostalgia food. Plus, you know, creamy and salty and filled with yummy carbohydrates. Which got me thinking. And while I’m not willing to sink so low as to buy a box o’ Kraft, the boy’s out of town, and some salty, creamy carbohydrate-y goodness sounded just delicious. It was. Raphy will be so horrified when I tell her. I can’t wait!
3. Thor kept me awake last night. Lovely boy, keeping his mama company when she’s home alone.
4. Watching Buffy (for the umpteenth time) while eating my mac & cheese was just about as close to a perfect home-alone night as I can imagine.
5. Roses. Roses everywhere. Must. Get to. Botanical. Gardens. this Weekend.
I actually don’t like Mac & Cheese. In fact, my neighbor (who is an amazing cook) made real mac and cheese with 4 different cheeses and cream. It was good but nothing I would crave. And that’s good since I already have enough trouble keeping away from sweets (my weakness).
Annie’s Mac and cheese is my go to pregnancy food! Extra cheese, and make the sauce a little thick and it is divine!
