Wear it with pride!

[datasuspect]

31. thank you thank you thank you

i've been meaning to donate, but between the day-to-day struggle to survive with no money and my blossoming alcoholism, it's been a bit tight around here at the casa de los whackos.

thank you again, you are a very nice person (no snide/sarcasm there either)

[JimmyJazz]

32. congratulations!

Take care of your demons though - that's really important. :pals:

I love reading your posts. Glad to be able to help in my meager little way.

But JJ is right - seek help, friend. :hug:

"when life gives you lemons, squeeze em on some lobster."

[derby378]

Main sequence, giant, supergiant, white dwarf, or neutron star?

Having said that, I'm guessing saag paneer and vegetable pakora with basmati rice.

[Ravenseye]

39. What's Your Mac and Cheese Recipe?

Here's mine....modified it from my moms.

1 Box - 16 oz Macaroni
24 oz of shredded cheddar cheese, preferably sharp or extra sharp
3 Cups Milk
3 Tbls Butter
3 Tbls Flour

Boil the Macaroni
Melt the Butter in a large saucepan, once it's melted add in the flour and whisk on a low heat till they're mixed together. Don't let it burn. Slowly add in the milk and keep whisking so it's all mixed. Heat for awhile till the mixture boils and thickens. Add the cheese. Stir. Drain the cooked macaroni, and add to the cheese. Place in corningware pan and cover with 8oz more cheeze. Place in oven at 300 degrees for 15-20 minutes to melt and crust over the cheese on top.
