Cheery thought for the day

You know what's awesome about preschoolers? They are impressed by the littlest things. We have hula hoops on the playground and I was spinning one around my arms and my legs. Greatest thing ever. Totally made my afternoon.

Tonight's Dinner

In hopes of creating a little extra heat down here, I decided I would go on a baking binge. I decided to make Mac & Cheese for dinner, in addition to brownies.

Well, the brownies weren't so much for the heat. I mostly wanted to lick the bowl.

( Recipe behind cut )

I topped mine with more grated cheese, but my mother informs me you can also top it with breadcrumbs, paprika, or pretty much anything else. I also used a full teaspoon instead of a half and it was definitely more peppery. It was good, but a little too much with the cheddar.

Nothing to do with cooking, but does anyone have a space heater recommendation? There will be heat next week, as we're getting the new burner, but I want to have back up.
