Hot Wings Mac & Cheese

Oh, I had a hot wings craving and made too many. You know how it goes, I'm sure.

DO NOT leave this stuff too long. For some reason it degenerates if you do. I'd recommend a week max. Or you could try freezing it. And I would have, but as our R.A. Kate's R.A. fiance Jeremy says, our freezer is like Tetris. So no.

HOT WINGS MAC

Prepare the Mac & Cheese as directed on the box. Add chopped boneless hot wings, some mixture of spices and cream cheese--I had a spicy cheese ball to spare, so I used that--and sriracha sauce.

I like to melt in some individual slices of gouda over the bowls when I reheat it.

Apologies

Hello everyone.

So, the semester swallowed me for awhile. I LOVE all my classes, especially my cooking and feature writing classes! But, I want to do better than last semester. 18 credits was an insanity on my part, but I still need to do my best with the much saner 14 credits this semester.

So why am I here? Because blogging makes me at least 20% happier.

In other news, I've been cooking like crazy, caught the crud that's going around campus (stay healthy, Cougars!), and am currently experiencing a very weird form of insomnia. No, it is not Pinsomnia. I legitimately cannot sleep no matter what I do. I hope it's temporary. If not, I'll just use the time to be productive.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of what I've been up to:

Not for nothing is one of my nicknames "The Dairy Queen"

I got a really weird dairy craving. I crave dairy all the time, but this was something different. I have milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, cheddar, and ice cream out in that picture. I was a little scared, as it has never been that bad before.

PS my glasses in this are fake.

Mal came and visited me!!! Well, this has happened before, but on the occasion of her interview and Kay & Tate's (her older sister & younger brother) farewells, she stayed over and we had a PROPER girl's night! We looked at Harry Potter stuff on Pinterest, and just talked like old times. I needed it.

{PSS: Mal, you never got back to me: HOW did I get Anne Elliot on that Jane Austen Quiz?}

Hailey, Cherie, and I at the Blue Lemon

The Halfway Homeless Girl's club got Brian Regan tickets and so we went up to Salt Lake. We were planning on the Lion House Pantry, but it had been closed all week for renovations. So we were forced into trying a new place, the Blue Lemon. They're all about fresh ingredients and it was total bliss. I would absolutely go there again, even though going without Lion House rolls was pretty depressing.

We had some time before the HILARIOUS show to make a few funny faces.

I love how they made this look like a 1930's movie poster

The very next week, Hailey and I went to see The Woman in Black. It was so freaky, well-shot, and I intend to buy the DVD when it comes out.

The more I learn about this man...

I've been viewing David Tennant's visage and work more and more lately. Of course we are aware of how obsessed I already was with Doctor Who, but he's just an amazing actor all around. His Scottish voice in the BBC radio plays soothes me right to sleep most nights {except for this dreadful insomnia, that's the weird thing}. Anyway, I'm very excited for his new romantic comedy The Decoy Bride. I think it looks fantastic and I hope it's not one of those "in select theaters" movies. If so, then I'll figure it out at the time.

I'll be posting oatmeal recipes, and mac&cheese recipes, very soon. I think I'll actually be able to do all the oatmeal recipes in one post. Maybe two. Yeah, two would be better.
