Quirky time out!

So, I've missed a couple Fridays! We (me and my hubby) went to Dallas, and I've just been super busy!

 BUT- I do have a little recipe to share! It turned out delicious! Key words, turned out! I had so much trouble making this! My husband called me, on my way home from work, to let me know we were going to have company that night! I started to freak out! The bathroom needed to be cleaned, the living room needed a quick pick up, the dishes were in need of some attention! AND I needed to cook! My husband was at work himself, or I would have had some help! Ugh!
(stressing just thinking about it)
 I cleaned the bathroom, the living room, and kitchen in record time! (ok maybe I hid somethings in a drawer/our bedroom and shut the door) I had decided to cook some home made cheesy mac 'n cheese. The recipe looked simple enough, the day before, when I had barely read over it. So,I started cooking, and I didn't even look at directions! I just started eyeing things, a pinch here, a tablespoon there. I got to the part about sautéing onions, and I completely burnt them! Filling up the house with smoke! I have the fans on full blast, the windows opened, thinking these people I don't even know are going to be here any minute, and Im going to greet them with house full of make-your-eyes-water smoke!! Not to mention, I still had my comfy work clothes on! I was a frazzled mess I tell you! After I burnt the onions, I decided to actually look at the recipe, and boy did things start to work out in my favor! My husband finally got home, and he let me know his friend couldn't make it, I was a little bummed, since I went through all that work, but also sighed a great big huge gigantic sigh of relief, the house was still smokey, and my make up was not on. Me and hubby got to enjoy a delicious meal to ourselves and he did the clean up, which is always a plus! I also made stuffed salmon to go with our amazing macaroni! Yum!
Its never dull in my quirky life! Just FYI the mac 'n cheese recipe can be found in the Newlywed Kitchen cook book, and the stuffed salmon, from SAM's!
