Food and Friends

So last Wednesday or maybe it was Thursday, I made this excellent mac and cheese recipe. Honestly, it was out of this world. Since Ejim doesn't like mac and cheese, I was sad that I had no one to share this little taste of goodness with. Then I came up with the idea of having a blog to share yummy recipes and the stories about them.

To be happy, one needs both good friends and good food. So cheers to both and Enjoy!
