The mac and cheese is done for tomorrow

NJ Chicaa @NJChicaa (126224) • United States 5 Feb

Everyone loves my macaroni and cheese. I hate to admit it but it is based off of a Paula Deen recipe that came with a baking dish of hers that I got from Kohl's with Kohl's cash years and years ago. I have modified it over the...

Fleur I hope they can come up with a solution - but you have to ask how long this will go on. I mean will people have to keep installing nestboxes for cockatoos for ever? It's the kind of question I wonder about with the toad patrol. Obviously it isn't a permanent...

LooeyVille @LooeyVille (54) • United States 5 Feb

Fleur I'm quite happy here right now because I love spring. I know it's not really spring yet but I can still watch the snowdrops and crocuses appearing and growing day by day. I just wish it would stop raining for a bit so I could do more outside.
