Interesting Websites I've found lately

http://www.seussville.com/main.php?section=home&isbn=&catalogID=&eventID= Check out Suessville. It's never boring there!

http://www.btrescue.org/ I've worked with some Boston Terrier rescues...transporting dogs mostly. I got interested after I got my first Boston from a rescue!!! Prefer I different breed? There are tons of rescues for just about any animal and/or breed you can think of.

French cooking made simple for simple minded folks like me!

I am working on improving my sewing skills and really enjoy buying vintage clothing and customizing! The book Subversive Seamster is terrific. I found this site: http://www.threadbanger.com/episode/THR_20071019 and watched an interview with one of the authors.

While we ladies work at being better women, here's a site for the fellas.

Lot's of nice little pretties here. Lot's of things to make a girl smile.

Hope you enjoy these sites as much as I did this morning!

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.
