Homemade macaroni and cheese with bacon here. I boiled some elbow macaroni in water and a little bacon grease to keep it from sticking together. I fried up about 1 1/2 pounds of bacon and drained it, then crumbled it all up. I diced up an onion and sauteed it in some of the leftover bacon grease and then added the crumbled bacon back to the onions. I poured in about a pint of heavy whipping cream and then melted in 1/2 brick of Velveeta cheese. A little garlic powder and about 1/3 stick of butter... Drained the macaroni and then added it to the cheese/cream/onion/bacon/butter/garlic mixture. Buttered a baking pan and dumped the whole mix into it. Baked it at 350 for 1/2 hour, then added about a 2/3 pound of grated cheddar cheese to the top and broiled it on high about 5 minutes until the cheese started to brown. MMMM... Now *that* is macaroni and cheese. Defibrillator is ready and on standby.
What's for dinner tonight?

Torture me already.
A bit of pertinent news - I had a heart attack last week. Do I win anything? Surgery is Friday. Today they gave me nitro pills. Can I blow anything up with that stuff? (Always looking to the bright side.)

Looks and sounds great. But I figured you were going to say fried chicken. All I got for dinner was a tater.

All the best and a speedy recovery.

John..... don't know what to say... I take it as a *good* sign that you are online to tell us about it... I hope there are no long term effects and if there are they are minor... My prayers are coming your way, big guy...
