Bud Gets Way Again ...I can't help but giving in!

Last night,I ate left over macaroni and cheese, dad's recipe. The kitchen was filled with scent of chess,heavy cream and butter. I offered my helper a taste since she was drooling as much as Bud who was on his dog bed next to the table.....she tasted it and moaned with delite. ( it is very best ever)  The Bud got up and brought me the phone. Without me asking for it We laughed. He wanted top taste too!
I happened too fast to get the video. But asked for the phone and you can see what he did on his own.

Dad never wrote it down so i will tell the recipe for my dear cousin Nancy.  Or any body who loves mac and cheese.

He only used Tillamook sharp cheddar cheese. For a large baking dish i used 2 .5 lb of cheese one large one lb of elbow  macaroni pasta.  ( my shopper got small but pasta but it tasted wonderful. next time i will try the bigger pasta.
 cook your noodles, butter your baking dish,it has to be real butter for the same taste.  then slice the cheese not too thin remember how much dad loved his chess. them pour the cooked noodles the on top slice more chessed and cover the noodle with cheese then pour over the noddles and cheese heavy cream then black pepper. to taste. I never use salt but salt if you wish,
bake 350  my big baking dish took 45 min in a pre -heated oven.

good luck !

Care Giver Turned Friend

When I first me Elias, I fell in love with Sparky her Golden Retriever. He was always groomed so well I never saw a Golden that well groomed. I invited her to a dog party the next week. We got to know each other and of course her handsome dog. Then mentioned to her that i was looking for help if she knew anybody to ask for me if they wanted a part time job. She even went with to Disney Land for 3 days. It was too much fun. She is wanting to retire now, I begged and begged her not to. But she needs to her life back. I took her hostage. We have worked together, cried together. We fight sometimes like family-- she is family now. She is the first caregiver to tell me no.She is the best sister ---mom i have. Happy mothers day friend for life. I am bless with your love and devotion. I love you so much. you have kept me afloat over the years. You are the best mom to our Jennifer and Gracie. 

and she has called me ever morning to see if i made it through the night. Bud adores her.

Thank God For My Caregivers--they keep me afloat !

My life works easier when I have help. I live with my dog and don't drive anymore. The house work is much for me now, like changing my bed cooking for the week food that I love.
Now I have 3 gals. Tanwnya shops for my food and cooks for me. Did I mention how much I like to eat. Eating is one of my favorite activities. Shopping lately is an adventure. Thank God I don't have to go to Costco or Trader Joes. Bye the way Tanwnya is a huge dog lover!! That's a big part of the job since Bud thinks the gals all work for him. Notice her apron ! Cute she loves Pit Bulls. Thank you for caring about us. We are blessed to have you with us. Love you !

Her outfit for the job. 

Focus on my details on the menu.
