Mac macaroni and cheese was IDEAL with the cold snap, the snow, rain, now a winter warning with THUNDER (that is real natural, snow and thunder....) It was served with boneless skinless chicken breast and broccoli. (I DID ADD chopped green onions to Nancy's, something healthy.....)
SO: Who says nothing good came out of the Reagan years?
