Back to the food. We opened a bottle of Coppola Sauvignon Blanc and sipped and savored while preparing a tasty dinner. When we make homemade macaroni & cheese, we use the macaroni & cheese recipe from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook, page 160 (yes, I know the page number). Our BHG cookbook is an old version - we each had a copy of it when we moved in together, each copy was lovingly worn and torn. Mine was held together by rubber bands so I think we tossed my copy and kept SP's copy. It's an older, paperback version, not the more current 3-ring binder style version.
The recipe is very simple: cook elbow pasta; make sauce of milk, butter, flour, onions, cheese; add elbows; dump into casserole; bake until bubbly. We always add tomato slices on top.
Yesterday, we also added homemade bread crumbs.

We sprinkled some of the homemade Wonder bread crumbs on the mac & cheese and then put the rest of the breadcrumbs into the freezer.
To go with our mac & cheese, we made a small ham:



After dinner, we cuddled up on the couch and watched Amazing Race. We love the show! The tasks are sometimes so funny - like watching them try to herd the ducks or last season when contestants had to move huge wheels of cheese down a hill and there were lots of shots of runaway cheese wheels!!! We don't have a favorite team yet, but we have 2 non-favorite teams: the muscle-y lawyer & his wife and the female poker players.
