I love it for myself, as I get closer to 50 (!!!) my eyes are not exactly improving and now I can read on the sofa without the rest of the family being blinded by a reading lamp. Also, randomly, finally got around to making your mac and cheese and it has earned a place in our rotation. You are the only person who could get me to buy Velveeta ;)Jamienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-23954507880876460242015-01-02T11:33:43.773-05:002015-01-02T11:33:43.773-05:00This sounds delicious.

Here is a link to a Chai concentrate that is super easy and very delicious, for times when you may need a speedier solution: <br />http://www.oregonlive.com/foodday/index.ssf/2008/06/recipe_detail.html?id=7109<br />It is great to have in the refrigerator - keeps for many weeks, as the recipe indicates.

(I know I can be needy when it comes to recipes sometimes, but when exactly do you put in the vanilla? With the spices? With the milk?)<br /><br />Also, thank you for all your gift suggestions! One of my daughters got the ukelele, my other got Counting by 7's, I go My Notorious Life, and my husband got the most coveted present of all--the reading headlamp. We all keep stealing that one. It's especially good for longish car rides when the sun has gone down and we really don't want to put the inside car light on for reading. And I have to agree about the Stabilo pen set we gave last year--it's fantastic. The only drawing set that actually has a holder that has lasted along with the pens. So easy to bring along somewhere, rather than digging around the pencil box with a sandwich bag saying "but I just need to find a green and a yellow..." Thank you and happy new year! --Cathy K<br /><br />P.S. Also had to tell you, made the latkes for my first grader's class for Hanukkah and for Christmas breakfast, made the pink dip for a party, soup of a 1000 vegetables just yesterday, and am making the salmon with the madatory green sauce tonight. As with so many readers, you have become a regular part of our lives.

I just wanted to say a quick 'thank you', too, for your game recommendations. Santa brought 'Love Letters' this Christmas and it was a huge hit with my whole family (and, last year, he brought Settlers - also on your say so - which I love with a deep and worrisome passion).
