A night at the movies....

The two youngest had places to be tonight, so the big boys and I (and Joey's girl, Kelly) went to the movies. We saw RED with Bruce Willis,Morgan Freeman, Helen Mirren, John Malkovich and Mary Louis Parker.

First of all, it's fun just being out with the guys. They are hardly ever home these days...always going somewhere and doing something. So it's nice when we can spend a little time doing something together.

The movie it's self was refreshing. At least I thought so....the stars were all 46 or older and they were sexy and smart and dangerous. Who says it's all down hill after 40? These people certainly don't show any signs of slowing down.

If you have the chance, go see this movie. Lots of action, some romance and a little humour too.

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.
