<div>Because she's a 20 year old "house wife" who's "pre-engaged".  If that's not MUD, I don't know what is.</div>

What on earth would make you call MUD on this?  There's no drama involved (yet, anyway).

Hi, OP!  What do you do as a house-girlfriend?  Are you a good cook?  Many of us here love to cook, but sadly I barely have any time for it anymore.

Blue & White

tell us more about yourselves - if your SO is employed as a "nerd"...how is he making any money to save up for said ring?

and do you like cheese?  especially in the form of mac n cheese?

and do you have any good recipes to share with us?

He Is actually an IT guy I just like saying he is a nerd for a living. I love cheese, mac-and-cheese is one of my favorites (i put ketchup in it) What kind of recipes are you looking for?

Blue & White

Anything you've got!  I just need some new variety in my life   And I'm dating a nerd too, but he's an engineer nerd, so I like to clarify the nerdy jobs

I'm kinda intrigued by mac n cheese with ketchup, honestly

MLekathLEEN

Ketchup on mac and cheese?! interesting.....

I'm going to call MUD until you put a picture of your pup up. Only because I want to see more puppy pictures, I'm bored.

sapphirebaby926

Yay a fellow baker! I love to bake too even though I always manage to burn my cookies just a little bit. What's your favorite thing to bake? I like making cupcakes myself : )

You people never put ketchup on mac and cheese?! Weirdos.

Hehe... you're funny!

Where near DC do you live?  I lived downtown for 4 years, and in Arlington, VA for a few years after.  I miss it for sure, though I hear you're getting hammered with snow right now, so I don't miss it quite so much today.

I guess it would be when he comes home from work upset about co-workers and Is pissy the rest of the night

I want to make these coming up - they sound like they are to die for




Campfire Cupcakes

1 box vanilla cake mix
1 1/3 cup water
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
2 cups milk chocolate chips
3 cups mini marshmallows
1/2 cup crushed graham cracker
1 container milk chocolate icing
Graham cracker squares for garnish

Directions:

1.) Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

2.) Whisk together cake mix, eggs, water and oil with a hand mixer on medium for two minutes. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and mix well. Add crushed graham cracker and mix until incorporated. Fold in milk chocolate chips and 2 cups mini marshmallows.

3.) Fill foil cupcake liners 2/3 full, then bake for 18-20 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 15-20 minutes before removing to wire racks for cooling.

4.) Once cakes are cooled completely, pipe chocolate icing on top of each cupcake using a pastry bag and large flower or star tip. Press a graham cracker square into the top for garnish.

5.) To toast the marshmallows, slide two mini marshmallows on to a toothpick. Toast using a hand/kitchen torch or a candle with a tall flame (my method). Lay carefully on plate and allow to cool. Once cooled, garnish each cupcake with two marshmallow sticks. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Charles County we do have a lot of snow and I hate snow we were just supposed to get a dusting this morning and its been falling pretty steady for a few hours.

sapphire those look delicious the other night Lemon Raspberry cupcakes with cream cheese frosting popped in my head so I will be looking for a recipe for that 

Blue & White

This is a dumb question (I know) - but like...do you just put the ketchup on the mac n cheese and eat?  Or do you cook it with the mac n cheese already in it?  (I'm thinking homemade mac n cheese - I'm pretty sure cooking the blue box with ketchup would be a disaster)
