I would also rather stay up all night and sleep all day. I think I am going to bed "early" if I am there by 11!

I'd like to stay up late more often but I need to get up early and start working

Me too. I have been known to oversleep lately.

I am still having to get up and bottle feed Jasper before I come to work along with other morning chores, although I do most all I can in the afternoon instead.

The seeds are black unlike any other gourd or melon. If I had any I would send some to you. Have not grown any in years but all this talk of them makes me want to find some seeds. If I find some I will let you know.

How sweet, thank you! I think it would be a fun thing to grow.

Yummmmmmmm..... The way I do it is you want a lot of cheese sauce, keep in mind, the longer you bake it the more sauce the noodles will absorb. I bake mine at 350 for 25 minutes but I am sure you are using a MUCH bigger pan than I do

Just adjust the time a bit. You cook like I do, add until it looks right, then toss in some more for good measure. Did I answer your questions? Just ask if I missed anything.

How soupy should the cheese sauce be when I mix it in?

I am not sure how to explain this...

thinking of examples....................

When it is done what consistency are you going for? We like ours creamy/saucy. My consistency would be that of gravy, I guess. I use enough sauce to stir inn too noodles, coat them and still have them "swimming" in sauce. Does this make sense? Enough so that when it is cooking you see the sauce bubbling..

Yeah, Mom, Des and I are discussing it too. Maybe like a thick pancake batter? I definitely don't want it dry, I would like for it to be cheesy and swimming too. It will also thicken as it sits after I take it out too, right?

Yes it will thicken as it cools. Pancake batter is a great comparison

Thank you! Destiny came up with that. I was racking my brain too! So, the slower I cook it the better. Top with the cheddar cheese when it is almost done or as I put it in?

Here are the first four as of about 45 minutes ago:

Here is the newest little guy.

A few minutes later:

He'll be ready to move into the brooder soon.

Here are the button quail that hatched the day before yesterday.

Still no pips or anything on the remaining eggs. Here's hoping for a couple more! (And, here's hoping that at least 3 will be female. However, I may not get that lucky again. )
