Macaroni and cheese

Posted in Autumn, Comfort food, Family, Thanksgiving with tags , , on 26, November 2009 by chroniccravings

So the pasta isn’t exactly macaroni and the cheese part isn’t singular.  It’s more of lanterne and cheeses.  We used pasta with a lantern shape thus lanterne, since names of pasta are consequent of their shapes. As for the cheeses, it’s plural since we ended up mixing mild cheddar cheese, traditional English farmhouse cheese, and Colby Jack Longhorn.

Thanksgiving starts tonight in our small household of four (Ryan, Toffee, Nougat, and me), the casserole which was supposed to be a part of our T-day dinner became tonight’s dinner instead.  However, only two of us will get to partake in the pasta and cheese casserole—our piggies will have to settle for their favorite greens and pellets.  I have a feeling that Nougat and Toffee won’t mind that arrangement at all.

Our city farmers’ market will go into its own version of hibernation and will close for two seasons until May of next year.  Ryan will miss the baked goods, I will miss the duck eggs, and the guinea pigs will miss the carrot tops.  So, until then Redmond Saturday Market vendors… see you all in the springtime! 

The following photos commemorate the closing day of the Redmond market 2009 season.
