Congrats to our resident reaper on obtaining the coveted Green Jacket! I would say I look forward to your posts, but you never know when it's got your name on it! At any rate, keep up the good work!

It's a pleasure and sometimes an adventure reading Halk's posts but I respect a man that always let's you know exactly where he stands. Or in our resident reaper's case........exactly where a man lies.

Keep up the good work Halk. Just try to keep my name out of it!

Oh yeah, I almost forgot. What's for dinner?

Halk, it's been great having you here...at least I know I'll never forget a celebrity death. Your posts have consistently been thought-provoking (which isn't always in a good way ) and humorous, and we couldn't have gotten the site to this point without you. Here's to the next thousand.

Congrats, Halkster!

BTW- What exactly is "sweet tea"? Just super sweetened tea?

I'm curious about the Fried Macaroni and Cheese. What is this of which you speak?

Here is one recipe, there are many others but I think this one is the best. BTW do not go to the doctor a couple days after eating to get a cholesterol check the numbers may go off the scale LOL. The ultimate comfort food.


leftover prepared macaroni and cheese, refrigerated for at least overnight (should not be from the box type)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 egg, beaten with
2 tablespoons water
1 cup bread crumbs, preferably Japanese panko (Breadcrums)
as needed oil (for deep frying)
1. Cut refrigerated macaroni and cheese into slices or bite size pieces.
2. Season the flour with cayenne, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge each piece through the flour mixture and gently tap off extra.
4. Dip in the egg wash and then coat with the bread crumbs.
5. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes so the crust can set.
6. Very carefully drop into the oil and fry until golden brown.
7. Drain on paper towels for a few minutes or place on a rack with a cookie sheet underneath.
8. Serve.
