This week has been extremely difficult and that is part of the reason why I haven't blogged or cooked much. It is also Girl Scout Cookie season so we are really really busy.
I had a moment before Grey's Anatomy. IT'S GREY'S ANATOMY NIGHT! heehee
Anyway, I thought "what I great time to blog about the awesome comfort food dish I made on Wednesday." I go to get my memory card out of my camera, but it wasn't there. Then I realize those great pictures I took of the yummy gooey bowtie pasta with cheese sauce and ham were gone. How could it be? The picture showed up on the screen. It's true...I took (or thought I was taking) awesome pictures of the best thing I had made since Paula's mac & cheese and now I have nothing to show for it...meh! I guess I should still give you the recipe. You should try it. It is yummy and a great comfort to the awful week I have been having.
