Kerri said...: I haven't been to a band and chorus concert since our kids finished school, but I've attended my share in the past. I love to see the kids up on stage.
Do your kids do the musicals or drama club? They were always so much fun.
You've been a very busy girl. You sure are an enthusiastic worker to take on such a big job. Good luck with that!; 10:28 PM
Paula said...: Enjoy those moments. They are gone so fast. No more concerts for us until those grandbabies start playing...; 2:27 AM
Sandy said...: Hi Terri,
It is nice to meet you! Thank you for stopping by Quill Cottage! Oh the concert looks so fun! It brings back memories of my daughters school days, she played the flute also, still does, and sand in youth choir. I am with Paula, enjoy it, soak up every moment, it goes by so fast! I hope you have a really great weekend!; 7:07 AM
Nancy said...: First chair flute, wow. Great!
Glad they are following in your footsteps.
Have a great weekend.

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.
