I pledged to bring baked macaroni & cheese to the potluck at work today. So last night I prepared it without baking it. I put it in the refrigerator with the express intention of baking it this morning before work, so it would still be warm when lunch started.
So when I went to bed last night I set my alarm for 5:20am. I usually set it for 5:50am, but I don't actually get out of bed until 6:30. So I figured that I would get up by 5:45-6, and would have time to bake the mac & cheese before I had to come to work.
What I did not count on was that when I have to get up earlier than usual, I am in a general fog that makes me get up at the buzzer instead of hitting snooze and work on autopilot until I wake up about 20 minutes later. This means that I actually got up at 5:20am, put the mac in the oven and couldn't figure out what I was going to do for the next hour. So I took cat naps while waiting for the casarole to cook, and then got up and got ready for work.
But man, it was worth it.

What? no pictures? haha
I've done that sort of thing. I usually worry I'm not going to get up in time (early enough) that I have a hard time sleeping at all. Then i either over sleep or wake up too early and have too much time to kill.
anyway, Michele sent me.
Ooh, that sounds yummy! Also a lot of effort, but I'm sure your co-workers appreciated it. Only wish we could get a sample - we'll have to use our imagination.
Michele sent me. Have a great weekend!
It's true - the Devil is cheese. I've seen for myself!
Michele sent me,

Oh, whew. I had this sinking feeling that you were in such a fog, you forgot to bake it!
I love homemade mac and cheese. Nothing in the world like it.
Here from Michele!
hey! what is your new number? I have two numbers for you, but neither seems to work anymore -- asks me for my password or something like that (?)
Twice now I've wanted to invite you out to something on the spur of the moment.... plus, I want to catch up and hear all the latest :)
