Mac & Ch -- Dinner?

You know sometimes I like ketchup on mac 'n cheese...???

If you don't want to get that "dramatic" a can of diced
tomatoes is also a good addition to the dish....

The trivia is even better! "Englishmen went home full of
Italy, and became known as macaronis for their foreign
affectations":

Yankee Doodle went to town A-riding on a pony Stuck a
feather in his hat And called it macaroni.

<G> When I was a kid - I thought it meant he called his
PONY Macaroni. Sticking a feather in his cap was
something he did while deciding what to name his horse.

I really thought was like slapping your head and saying,
"I've got an idea!".

LOL > kidz, o'boy was I innocent! Now I have to rething
other terms using feather. What does "That's a feather
in your cap" mean? I used to think it was like saying
"Score one for you" (with no "dandyness" involved). Now,
I don't know.

More interesting trivia...

*Basic recipes for macaroni and cheese appear as early as
1824 in Mary Randolph's The Virginia House-Wife. Apparently,
Randolph is no fan because she describes the dish by saying
it "started out as a misconception of an Italian dish.*

That dish is probably what we now call "Alfredo".

My home economics class never included sewing, as far as I
remember. I am truly deficient in the area of sewing. Even
attaching a button to a shirt is a chore I cannot do
properly for the life of me!

A result of him taking that class, I never had to sew
another on button on his clothes for him - unless he
sweet talked me into it, of course.

My tailor is good at sewing!

When I went to school, home ex. was not available to boys.

yachts where I learned how to cook and sew. Pan Ohco

That required two readings! At first I though you were being
sarcastic, but I changed my mind.

Have you ever tried a piquant salsa with your macaroni?

Well of course it wasn't availble to boys...so why didn't
you take the class. I do believe it is Home Ec.

Ah, yes... sailors are men of many abilities - from ship
building to sewing (you'll have to mend a sail or two at
sea) and everything inbetween.
