Another beautiful day. Daddy is busy replacing some of his transplants and putting out the rest. The tomatoes are starting to bud, so they have to get into the garden. I'm trying to get some dresses done for Ella before we go away at the end of the month. Ideally, I'd get one whipped up for me too. I need to get a project started and ready to go before my OVF board meeting on the 22nd. I'd go insane at meetings like that without some handwork to do -just can't sit and do nothing :)

I've made a double batch of macaroni and cheese, I like to have some in the freezer for quick lunches. This is one of the meals I make that I do for love :) I would have to be starving before you'd see me touch mac and cheese, but Colin and Ella love it, so I make it. The recipe comes from my great-grandma's recipe book: Kate Aitken's Canadian Cook Book

Macaroni and Cheese

1 c macaroni
3 T butter or oil
3 T flour
1/4 t dry mustard
