Easy Peasy Mac & Cheese-y


Ever since graduation, I have had the biggest craving for Boundary Bay's mac & cheese in Bellingham. With gas prices climbing higher and higher every week, a trip up to my alma mater went from being plausible to pretty much impossible in a jiffy. In desperation, I began my search for mac & cheese recipe that could rival the original. At last I found one from Alton Brown on foodnetwork.com (see link after the jump). I made this recipe the other night for my family and friends--it's so easy and, chances are, you already have all of the ingredients hanging around your pantry!

Ho-hums and Hobbies: Life, sans a 9 to 5 job...


I'm three months out of college, fresh off of a PR internship and now out, flat, on my sweet derriere

While I've been hanging out in employment limbo, I've channeled all of my pent up energy into miscellaneous projects: I ripped out a juniper bush; planted vegetable seedlings inside and built a vegetable garden outside; baked two loaves of bread, a dozen bagels, a mess of pretzels and five different kinds of cookies; taught myself how to make lumpia, hot and sour soup, homemade tomato soup, baked mac & cheese, corned beef, pad thai and veggie noodle stew; sanded and refinished a storage trunk; read four books and started going back through my online Spanish textbook from Fall Quarter.

...Lately my hairbrained ideas and spontaneous projects are requiring the use of more and more tools--I'm one awry stapler gun staple away from a visit to the emergency room. I hope I find a job soon.

Entry Level Exasperation: Getting a Foot in the Door...


25 days and counting until I wrap up my first agency internship--It's that special time of lost sleep, sporatic sweating and anxiety eating that I wish I wasn't so familiar with. As each day flies by faster and faster than I would like it to, I'm running out of time and John WM Macy's Cheese Crisps.

So for all the post-grad, job-seekers out there, here's a few links that might be helpful:

For when the job search isn't going well...
Happy hunting!
