The cheese is in the pot

Goood evenin one and all. Bubba here and have I got a blog for you. First of all Yahoo has done some investagatin bout the old stand by Mac and Cheese dinners (boxed).
This is their findins.

The Winner at #1. Pasta Roni shells and white cheddar.
#2. Kraft Macaroni & cheese dinner original flavor.
#3. Kraft macaroni & cheese dinner premium thick 'n creamy.
#4. Kraft Velveeta shells & cheese original.
#5. Annies shells & real aged cheddar.
#6. Generic store brand Mac & cheese.

I know ya'll was just dyin ta know bout that! I was quite shocked! There are times when the Generic Mac & cheese is a gourmet meal for those of us whom are poor. Ya just got ta know how ta work it right. Ramen Noodles come ta mind. Now there's a meal. A 98 cent package of veggies and a bit of salad dressin will put you in the road to fine dinin! So get out the Sterlin Silver and fine linens. You'll be the talk of the town in no time. Invite guest over for pennies on the dollar. A Good time will be had by all.



For those of ya'll whom are to lazy ta look up the answer of the before picture of the Teddy bear that was restored by Mike. Here it is. So what ya'll think? Much improvement. The love of a good Teddy Bear will be around for centuries.



The cold of the day and evenin has us once again soakin dried Pinto beans in water ta bring them to their full size. They have been in soakin for serveral hours now. Still not time ta cook as of yet. This is an old photo. The beans are already cookin in this photo as ya'll can well see. But that's okay. I do tend to re-use photos from time ta time. But the blog is always different. Most important change of topics.
Mike has been workin on one of his doll creations. Arms and legs all sewed on and now lookin ta find the face of the lovely creature. Blue and teal the color of her skin. Mike will be glad ta share the photo of her upon her finish. She is the fourth in the series and we'll review them as we prepare ya'll for her unveilin. Tonight he plans ta work on her face.
As for the Speed Racer movie rented just yesterday. Well there was nothin recorded on the disk. Empty. Would not play at tall. So,I guess I'll not see it for now. Maybe they'll make it right and let me see another copy. Here's to a great evenin! Bubba

Some colorful coffee mugs another thrift store find. We had solid Black goth mugs before. Very depressin! Yuk! Don't worry. They've been tossed out. Now we can drink coffee with style and flair. Sittin in a Cafe in Paris. Coffee drinkin an event. The times of your life kind of stuff. The best part of wakin up,is Flodgers in your cup. Ya'll know the tune from the commercial. Or the guy with the mustache and Donkey walkin through the mountian grown coffee fields. What a coffee break!

That about covers it for today. Bubba
