Looks great!

There are lots of Mac & cheese recipes on the site. Check out the Google search at the bottom of the page. I did one last week that included lobster in it.

Beef ribs wrapped in bp and back on smoker - meatloaf prepare and will go on in a couple hours - going to try this new "smoky" sauce I found at store last night - still no sun out here so figured it was time for a "wick for brains"

 

[TheHojo]

Still only 43 here - which is cold for us - as I get ready to put on meat loaf and Mac n cheese - figured good time to have a Jolly Pumkin stout I brought back from Traverse City last summer

Ribs unwrapped - around 190 degrees - back on naked for duration of cook

 

[TheHojo]

Meatloaf on - Mac n cheese on in 30 - great day of cooking, college football and a few adult beverages
