Not being gainfully employed any more, I really don't like holidays. Never really know what to do with them. Couldn't go bowling, no exercise class, not really much of anything to do.
However, having been sent a book to proof by Susan Gourley-Kelley, I made a start on it and read quite a bit. It's a winner for me because it's a dragon story. I am always delighted to read dragon stories although, as I said to Susan, I prefer good dragons to bad ones. I have always like the ones on Pern in the books by Anne McCaffery who sadly is no longer with us. Her children have written some stories set on Pern since she died but they just don't have the same flavour somehow.
I couldn't make up my mind what to cook for supper so decided on macaroni and cheese in the Instant Pot. I then realised I didn't have enough cheese for the recipe I use. I hummed and haaed and then got some frozen cheese sauce out. I made the noodles the same way as before, but I then opened the lid and stirred in the defrosted cheese sauce. Worked a treat. Now I don't have any cheese sauce which I use for Cauliflower Cheese as well. I usually make up a pretty big batch of it, it keeps so well in the freezer.
Instant Pot Mac and Cheese
This macaroni and cheese is every family's favorite comfort food pasta recipe made easy in the
Instant Pot! You can have creamy, mouthwatering, homemade mac and cheese for dinner in about 10 minutes!

Dragon tales are always a winner for me too. Coincidentally I am also reading one at the moment (the Dragon and the George by Gordon R Dickson). I agree with you about Ann McCaffery, and her gift didn't get handed down the family line for me either.
ReplyDeleteThat title sounds familiar to me Sue. I am not sure if I have read it or not.
DeleteSince I have been retired I constantly forget the holidays. Yesterday, for example, I set out to go the the credit union, completely forgetting it was Family Day, which only dawned on me when I called in at Sobey's on the way down, and they were closed of course.
ReplyDeleteFunny David, at least I didn't go to bowling by mistake yesterday.
