Doesn't use gas uses diesel.

Even worse, diesels weren't real clean back then!

Don't see what the problem is, bruce. Jealous? You are paying an outrageous amount of money for a two year plate/sticker. Not as bad as IL was but 140$ is still a bite.

Not jealous, just seems they are giving "special status" to vehicles that aren't exactly "special" in any way. Not at that age. But for all I know the same would be true here, I've never looked into what VT considers "antique".

Also, where do you get that pasta? I have never seen it.

Muellers? Very common in the stores here. I'm surprised they don't sell in down your way.

Hate swiss.

Then don't buy the Gruyere that was listed in the recipe you linked The other cheese common to fondue is Emmentaler, another Swiss cheese. I'm sure my family would be fine using both of those in Mac & cheese. I think Mascarpone is sort of an Italian "cream cheese". I'm not a huge fan of Swiss cheese, though it is good in fondue. I lean toward Provolone and Muenster for sandwiches. Cheddar and/or Jack in tacos. Parmesan or Romano on pasta.

But mostly i eat American.

How sad, no real cheese I would be hard pressed to eat that, I skip the "cheese" when I go to a fast food place.

American Cheese

Oxymoron. Can't even legally called "cheese" it is a "processed cheese food product".

Guess what I got for Christmas this morning? I got a photo!! Yep, I did, and I love it! Our great-grandkids, Madelyn (2) and Landyn (4), love to talk to us on the phone. Jamie has shown them snapshots of us, and they know WHO we are, but they don't KNOW us. So in their Christmas box this year I sent a big picture of Ken and one of me, just for them, so they'd be better able to put faces to our voices and names. Well, this morning posted on my Facebook wall was this picture of them holding their pictures of us, and a wonderful "Merry Christmas". Best Christmas gift EVER!!!
