I don't think I am dressing up.

If that is the kind with powdered cheese, just how bad is the kind with the squeeze cheese?

That is the kind with the powdered cheese.
I have never seen the one with the squeeze cheese, but if I do I will work out the points and let you know.
Unless you happen to have a box lying around.
If you do just post the
serving size
Calories
Total fat
Total fibre Then I will be able to tell you.

I have never heard of Meijer till now.

What's the main supermarket chain in Colorado? Vons?

Base outfits? And sparkly stuff? You didn't strike me as the sparkly stuff kind of guys George...Unless you talked Deb into wearing a pirate version of Brandie's sparkly bra

The sparkly stuff is for her Todd but she could certainly wear Brandie's crystals. Depends if Don gets her one too?

I know velveeta makes a squeeze mac n cheese.

You are getting something accomplished....you're here

I also just left DH & DD alone in the house for 2 days while I was at work. His response to my need to "tidy up" today was that I should have seen it an hour before I got home.

They did have fun though - made a new 2 storey house for smaller stuffed animals out of cardboard boxes...got some bike riding in before the ugly weather comes back tomorrow.

And I can leave this up and keep coming back. I just found snow pants that will be needed tomorrow in a cloud of "dust" from dried muck.

We need to stop all the yellow death talk. We always have a few boxes in the house for a quick meal. It's delicious if you know how to tweak it. Brandie already mentioned a good add. Dry mustard.

I'll add that with diced ham. Or a can of tuna and some peas. I'm always adding 1/2 & 1/2 to mine with some extra shreaded cheese.

Adding sliced grilled hot dogs is actually my favorite.

And no "deluxe" in this house. Velveeta style bad, powder good.

Never heard or seen it!

I can see how you squeeze cheese out of a container, but how on earth can you squeeze pasta out of it as well?

Giant Favor to Ask of my Fellow Cruisers!!

If it's not too much trouble, I need all of y'all to pretend I didn't go to Mousefest this past year. It is sort of complicated but I didn't tell my parents that I was going to Mousefest and they still don't know and they will be on the cruise with us. (You would think a "29" year old wouldn't need to tell her parents where she went but my mom freaks if I don't tell her when I go out of town - don't ask.)

I'm not a very good liar so if it comes up at all and I can't distract my mother just say it was Mousefest 2007 (which I attended.)
Any questions?

I understand. A couple of months ago my mother and I were talking about a guy I work with who recently lost his job. My mother asked if we were friends and I told her that we don't really say much to each other these days but we went out on a couple of dates back in 1992 or there abouts. (I was 23 then) She looked at me, narrowed her eyes and hissed, "You never told me about him!" I said, mom, I had a full time job, lived on my own in my own home. Did you really expect me to tell you everything that I did? She screamed "YES!" And then stomped off in a huff. LOL Give me a break. So I understand completely and will try to help in any way I can.

What's the main supermarket chain in Colorado? Vons?

I live in the western part of Colorado and we have a supermarket called City Market. Kroger bought them about 9 years ago. Have you heard of Smiths? They are like them. I wish we had a VONS. They are much better than City Market. We call City Market, Shi*** Market.

Just to let everyone know that 1 cup of prepared/cooked mac n cheese is 6 points on the weight watcher chart.
For 6 points I can have 3 ozs. chiken breast, 1 cup cooked can corn, and half a 8oz. baked patato.
I don't think it will ever taste good enough to consome again.

That's like one chew of chicken. I'm starving here.

Now we know your age.

It comes in a box...you still cook the pasta as normal, but the cheese is not in powdered form. It's, well, cheesy...lol

You squeeze it out onto the pasta...we buy the 2% kind. A little better on the fat content...

It's just the cheese that you squeeze. It comes in a foil pouch. You snip the corner and squeeze.

We are the same age!

I'll be in my "Pirates get more booty" t-shirt! maybe wear the "doo-rag" they give you at dinner.

That was my initial plan Don but since DW agreed to go I gave her full control of Pirate Night and my dress.

I understood no doo-rag was a cutback this year? They weren't giving them out at dinner anymore. Can anyone confirm?

DD's favourite - but DH uses the pre-cooked microwave for 20 s hot dogs. If this is dinner - he has no time or energy. Or I am on nights. They take advantage of my night shift to eat all the foods I don't like as much.

Microwave

No way my Kayem Old Time natural casing dogs go in the micro.

Only the cheese is squeezed out of a foil package. The Macaroni is dry in the box and needs to be boiled as usual.
