Goldfish Mac n' Cheese -- the result


The goldfish mac n' cheese turned out yummy indeed, despite a few mess ups. 

Mess up #1: Original Goldfish instead of cheddar Goldfish. Of course it would have made sense -- cheesy crackers with a cheesy dish -- but my mind was not thinking of that while I was at the store.

Mess up #2: Too much pepper. I am not a big fan of pepper, and I wish I hadn't put as much. The boyfriend, on the other hand, loves pepper, so he thought it was good.

Mess up #3: Not enough cheese. I put four cups of cheese, just as the recipe called for, but it still wasn't cheesy enough.

Mess up #4: Waiting late to start fixing dinner. By the time it was ready, we were starving and had already been tempted to just eat bread.




Overall, it was pretty good. Next time, though, I'm going to mess around with the recipe and see if I can make it better. And by better, I mean fixing all of the above mess ups and adding some Tony Chachere's.

I've got all the stuff to make goldfish mac n' cheese

Will it be a success? Will I burn down the kitchen? Will I eat all the goldfish before I even begin making it? Stay tuned to find out!

Mad for Plaid

EEEEPP!!!!
i just found this in the drafts, guess JB wrote it and forgot to post it...
Juju and I have had an obsession with plaid skirts ever since reading the Gallagher Girl series by the wonderful and amazing Ally Carter. If you've never read the series, then go find the books IMMEDIATELY. There are currently four and the newest one, Only the Good Spy Young, was released three days ago.

The third book of the series, Don't Judge a Girl by Her Cover, was released last year on Juju's birthday, so we had a double celebration! Along with our other best friend Rae, we dressed up as Gallagher Girls and proceeded to Barnes and Noble wearing our lovely plaid schoolgirl skirts.
