A bust and a hit.

The beans failed miserably.  Never again will I screw with four pounds of beans hoping for perfection.  What a huge waste of money.  (No, really, it was, considering the cost of pure maple syrup, etc.)  Oh well.  I did get a taste of someone elses beans - and they were pretty kick-ass. 

The macaroni and cheese was a hit.  Every bit got eaten.

Although, after the day the kids had, they could have been content with a bowl of oatmeal.

I have very many photos to go through and upload to Flickr.  So, go, sign up, be my friend there.
