Nazi Mac & Cheese, Now That Sounds Tasty! Please Send Me a Recipe

Last night we went out to eat as a family. We try not to do this very often because with 15 children in tow, eating out tends to get expensive. But the boys share a big person meal, so we tend to do better than we used to, I suppose.

Ellis was totally attached to my hip last night, which is pretty unusual. She sat next to me and talked to me and had me help her use the crayons. She knows that’s my level of art, I guess. When her food came she had me blow on every single bite of mac and cheese she picked up.

Every single bite, mind you. Even after ten minutes and the food was well past luke warm and veering into cold.

The funny thing is she would scoop up a pile of mac and cheese, then sort of nonchalantly flick her wrist in my direction (while she was looking the other way and engaging Carrie in conversation about Nazis and feminism), thus thrusting the spoonful of noodles in my face. I’d get about three milliseconds of cooling breath on them and then she’d shove the whole spoonful in her mouth.

Yes, we did have a conversation about feminism and Nazis in the T.G.I. Fridays. We came down against Nazis and in favor of feminism, in case you are wondering.

Holy Crap! Look at all this STUFF down here. It's awesome!

Really, I'm glad you made it down here. Almost no one ever comes down here. I'm like in a freaking dungeon down here. I get lonely. But not you. YOU made it all the way to the end of the page. For this I think I've a little crush on you. I don't know, is "love" to strong a word to use in this situation? Well, if it's not "love," then it's very strong "like." I'm totally in like with you for coming down here. You are awesome. Please love me back! I know, I know, I shouldn't be all needy, it's not attractive at all, but you don't know how it is to be stuck down here. Who scrolls all the way to the end of a page anymore these days? Anyway, thanks for shedding some light down here in the depths. I appreciate it. Shoot me an email and I'll send you a dollar, OK?
