Also known as "chili mac" around here. And if you add cheese on top and
bake it, it's a hot dish!

We had a costume-thingey at the office today. I got to wear one of my Civil
War repro gowns (made for reenactment ball affairs). Complete with
theatrical brunette 'Scarlett' wig with ringlets and a fancy hat I found on
eBay from LaBelle Chapeu out of New Orleans. It was fun! But by the time I
got home I was sure ready to loosen those stays!

Lunch (and dinner) was leftover "old timey" food: cabbage and smoked
sausage.
