Things like that are what we run to save in a fire. Love it! I must say that putting cottage cheese in macaroni & cheese is new to me. I learn something new & valuable to try every day!<br /><br />This is a super table...perfect for a winter's day in frigid Michigan! My friend is the defensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions (at least for now as you guys just got a new coach in!), and when we came to visit we thought we had gone into another dimension!!! It gets cold here in KC, but man...it was C-O-L-D there!!!<br /><br />Try to stay warm this weekend!Alycia Nicholshttp://tabletwentyone.wordpress.com/2014/01/28/diamonds-are-a-material-girls-best-friend/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-47193680401842028002014-01-19T20:55:28.935-05:002014-01-19T20:55:28.935-05:00I too mark up, revise and date all my recipes in m...I too mark up, revise and date all my recipes in my cookbooks. I also love to give cookbooks as wedding shower gifts with a personalization. A new bride will use it and the gift becomes very meaningful both for the favorite recipes and hopefully the inscription.<br /><br />Need the mac and cheese recipe. Believe it or not with 10 kids I never made mac and cheese. The kids themselves started buying Kraft boxes and made it themselves so they could have some. Do love the stuff though. Actually bought some today to have with ribs and watch football playoffs.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03170733066436494426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-4403637895120591762014-01-18T16:07:15.549-05:002014-01-18T16:07:15.549-05:00Thank you Jann!

I'm going to that when I use them again (I've always used a solid cloth or a patterned one!) I'm new to blogging, too, and I know what you mean about comments. It's sooo much fun to plan and carry out a tablescape (I love the hobby and the hunt for dishes!), but it means so much more when other tablescapers encourage us!

It's been absolutely frigid here in Michigan this past week and your Pine Tree centerpiece complete with the red plaid bear warmed my heart and gave me a new appreciation for beauty in daily matters.

The little pine tree makes a cute centerpiece and I love your vintage silver. Homemade mac and cheese is a recipe I enjoy too. I learned to make it in Home Ec and I still use the same recipe. How lovely that you have your grandfather's recipe! Thank you for sharing your wonderful tablescape and recipe with us at my HOME and have a lovely weekend.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-52560757195603504582014-01-10T14:29:52.102-05:002014-01-10T14:29:52.102-05:00thanks Jenna.

What a wonderful memory! Two memories! I also mark my cookbooks with critiques, dates made, etc. my sister-in-law gave me The Silver Palate Cookbook when we got married, and she dedicated it on the front page. I used that cookbook until it fell apart, then I got a new one, but I cut out the dedication from he old one and glued it to the new one. Im very sentimental, too, about that sort of thing!Maria Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00261266958816405107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092223141967556234.post-86835843824029554262014-01-09T20:08:01.234-05:002014-01-09T20:08:01.234-05:00A very pretty table and I it does look like winter...A very pretty table and I it does look like winter!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18114417561785860122noreply@blogger.com
