What have I been doing???

Well, I have been painting lawn furniture a cheery red, driving to the orthodontist (4hours away!!!) Taking boys to baseball games

Attending spring concerts, giving away our paino (to hard to move) cleaning the shed, planning a quick trip to NYC (just me and a grown up friend! Woo Hoo!).

Arranging things with the kids' new schools. Changing addresses on all my magazines. Buying Blue Willow china and Boston Terriers off ebay.

Planting tomatos, peppers and beans in pots (so I can take them with us) Trying to get my Jeep fixed(goofy guy didn't order the parts! It's been ages and I am still waiting!!!!!) Bathing the dogs. Working on my knitting. Volunteering at the library.

so....in answer to the question...not much. How about you?

mac and cheese

Ingredients
Butter, for greasing dish
12 ounces wide egg noodles
2 cups heavy cream
2 1/2 cups whole milk
2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt, plus more for pasta water
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups (packed) grated Fontina
3/4 cup (packed) finely grated Parmesan
3/4 cup (packed) grated mozzarella
4 ounces cooked ham, diced, optional
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
Directions
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.

Butter a 13 by 9-inch glass baking dish and set aside. Cook the noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes. Drain well, but do not rinse.

Whisk the cream, milk, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper in large bowl to blend. Stir in 1 cup Fontina, 1/2 cup Parmesan, 1/2 cup mozzarella, ham, if using, and parsley. Add the noodles and toss to coat. Transfer the noodle mixture to the prepared baking dish. Toss the remaining 1 cup Fontina, 1/4 cup Parmesan, and 1/4 cup mozzarella in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the noodle mixture. Bake until the sauce bubbles and the cheese melts and begins to brown on top, about 20 minutes. Let stand for 10 minutes before serving.
