Well at least you can make a better mac and cheese from scratch than I ever could. Would grainy Dijon mustard be abit better than plain mustard? It was Kraft version..um 25 yrs. ago and I would justify the cheap, lazy purchase by sauteeing diced carrots, onions, garlic before doing the rest of the cooked macaroni and cheese dump into pot.

Just wolfed down 4 shrimp har gow (a sort dim sum) from Chinatown. Sort of thing I consider a "treat" once every 1-2 wks.

Tonight will be light veggie and fresh water chestnut stir-fry with some squid and noodles. For reasons unclear to me, I seldom buy squid (or the more elegant noun, calamari) to make a meal. Seem to do this uh..every 2-3 yrs.
