I made a baked mac & cheese.  It came out hard as a rock.  I'll have to work on that.

I bought some of the managers special at food lion.  It was asparagus wrapped bacon with a garlic herb butter.  Turning on the oven wasn't easy in the heat but the dish was worth it.  Very good.  I wrote down the recipe and the ingredients so that I can make it myself next time.

have you ever roasted heads of garlic?  Saw it on Martha Stewart.

Cut a thin (1/4-inch) slice from the top of each head of garlic; discard. Place garlic in a small baking dish. Drizzle with oil.  Sprinkle with thyme. Cover with parchment paper-lined foil or just plain foil; roast garlic until soft and golden, about 1 hour and 15 minutes.

Scoop out the garlic with a butter knife and spread it on toasted french bread and eat. Luscious and smooth.

So you don't peel the garlic before cooking?

No, and you don't remove the root end. The peels do soften a little but remain and sort of move out of the way if you use a spoon or butter knife to scoop the roasted garlic out. Or you can pick up the whole thing and squeeze out the innards for a recipe.

Before you roast one look up a video online. I think you'll like it and its simplicity.

never tried the sausage but I looked at turkey bacon in the store and there's not much of a reason to change from pork bacon.  I don't remember exactly but I think the turkey actually had a tad more saturated fat and it cost more.  Go back to the sausage you like.

I didn't like the turkey bacon either.  For someone who loves turkey i'll keep it sliced.

I just tried the honeycrisp apple.  I didn't like it.  It has a medicinal under flavor which I find objectionable.  Has anyone else tried these?

I've got an ambrosia to try have you had them?  I'm hoping it will be ok.  Otherwise an apple a day is going to be a bad thing.

The ambrosia apple was not memorable at all.  The golden delicious even though they were green were good with salt.  The red delicious are not memorable even though I'm eating one right now. 

Make sausage dressing used italian sweet sausage.  Bad really bad.  The sausage turned into little nuggets of hard nothing.  Was I suppose to cook them first or not?  I'm thinking that I shouldn't have.  Please let me know.

I read a few recipes for sausage stuffing and cooking the sausage is one of the first things that's done in the recipes I read.  Maybe you cooked it too long??

It certainly could have been that.  Because I've got no clue.  The ones I read you ended up cooking the sausage until it was browned and I thought that was what I did.  It's ok regular stuffing is good and I can usually do that without messing up.

I wish recipes were more careful in their wording. Browning does not mean brown. It means with most of the pink gone. You'll often end up with rocks if you actually go for "brown". Cook until it's not raw and will finish cooking in the finished product.
