Gardens and Mac and Cheese

Last Saturday we put the garden in. And when I say we I mean mostly Jacob. I helped a very tiny bit. But I am excited about it. We planted three tomato plants, two hanging in baskets; Anaheim, green bell, and jalapeno peppers, zucchini, lettuce, and we are working on some herbs. Yummy. I can almost taste the fresh salsa already.

Then on Sunday Jacob and I gathered some folks for the great Mac and Cheese taste off. This was somewhat similar to the Carter Pizza Challenge we had a few years ago. Remember that folks? Good times. So, we bought all the different brands of boxed, original Mac and Cheese to see which was the best. Is it really worth paying the extra money for "The Blue Box?"

Turns out it is not. The King Soopers (Kroger) brand won out. It was really close between the Kroger, Safeway and Kraft brands. So, safe your pennies folks. Head to the local King Soopers (AKA Smith's) and buy that brand. But be very sure not to buy the Kroger Value box. There is a HUGE difference. Both in price and quality. That stuff was NASTY! And if you really like salty and bright orange Mac and Cheese, go for the Wal Mart brand.

And now you know. And knowing is half the battle.

I Should Be Sleeping

Really. I have an early meeting tomorrow and yet here I am, midnight and blogging.

It's just that it's been awhile and I wanted to post some pictures but needed to wait until we had decided which ones we were going to use on the invites. So, for your viewing pleasure.







These are low quality copies of the originals but you get the idea. Our friend Lori took them and I must say she did a really nice job for picking up the camera and learning as we went along. Thanks again Lori!

Moving

I really dislike moving.

But, it is even more strange moving into house that I won't really be living in until after I am married.

So in some respects, I feel like I am living in two places at once. Half of my stuff at the new house and half at my old apartment.

The bright side is the new house is going to be fantastic. It's pretty fun unpacking and trying to decide how to set it all up. It will be even more fun when we start deciding how to decorate and really get settled again.

I guess both fun and weird because I won't be "settled in" until July.
