    We have donuts in bagels at work on Wednesdays and my favorite is the smiley faced cookie. Forget my 401K, free cookies on Wednesday is the best corporate perk.

Ground beef, eggs, ketchup, crackers, plus you have to keep him from singing…

    More time-intensive really, but it takes a lot of work to cook ribs all day.

Both labor and time intensive, but worth it.

At least for my grandmother’s recipe. It’s got all sorts of spices and such and the part that says “stir constantly under low heat, adding milk slowly until thickened” (this is just for the base, before you add the cheese)
–you stir for 30 minutes, adding the milk little by little, and wonder if the thickening is happening
–you stir for another 30 minutes. Did I miss it? Seems kindof viscous…
–I’ll keep heating and stirring a little more…hmmm, nothing’s happening
–screw this, I’ll give up; how much difference could it make?
–at about the hour and a half mark–OMG! It just magically thickened into a paste! I’m done! Yay! Now I can add the cheese and heat some more and then take it off the burner, let it cool, and don’t touch it until tomorrow.

Best damn spicy cheese dip I’ve ever had.
