You brought back it all back for me; we took the Market tour and it was really worth it.<br />Like you I wanted to make that Mac and cheese when I returned home. I found the recipe on the internet and made it a few times; just wonderful even if I didn't have the original Beacher's cheese; dound one at Costco that fit the bill.<br />Thanks for the memories.<br />RitaRitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03791201457372887378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-6404607585634364162010-10-26T12:16:55.850-07:002010-10-26T12:16:55.850-07:00Glad to hear you had a great time in Seattle Val.....Glad to hear you had a great time in Seattle Val...it's one place I really want to visit in the near future.
