Tips for adding shrimp to Mac and cheese?
Posted by meeple on 12/23/25 at 9:07 am
I’m using Meridiandog’s Mac and cheese recipe, and looking to add shrimp to half of it. The other half I’m adding bbq pork on top (this went over well last year).
Any tips for adding shrimp? On top, mixed in, with or without bread crumbs, how to pre-cook the shrimp, etc?

Joseph is interesting for sure. In addition to Mary being of the lineage of King David, Joseph is also of David’s lineage. This ensured Jesus as the legal heir to the Davidic throne, ensuring the Messiah's royal lineage through adoption and legal right, not just biology (via Mary), satisfying Jewish tradition.
Jesus was the plan long before his birth and God brought it all about. Truly amazing.
This is a cool Christmas song that might capture some of what Joseph felt about Jesus.

There have been a number of truly heartwarming christmas movies that have come out the last decade or so.
Klaus (eyes sparkled)
8 bit Christmas (sobbed)
A Christmas Story Story (cried)
The Holdovers (didn't cry but definitely had feels)
Spirited is another good one.
I’m going to queue up 8 bit Christmas this year with the family… that was my childhood era.

It’s cheaper. You’re right the difference between 1 and 2 gigs would probably not be noticeable for me.

Anyone have T-Mobile fiber?
Posted by meeple on 12/15/25 at 8:52 pm
How is it? They bought Vexus, who had recently installed boxes in our neighborhood, so they are out knocking on doors and sending mailers.
I’m eligible for 2 gigs for $70/mo. Currently have ATT at 1gig, and this T-mobile offer looks too good to pass on.

Will start planning a trip for this summer. This will probably be the last time our whole family goes here all together due to kids ages (16, 14, 10). We enjoy hiking, camping, all the outdoors things and going off the beaten path.
SIAP: focus on a specific region such as:
- Seward, Anchorage and Denali
- Juneau, Skagway, Glacier Bay.
I like the sound of the dome train trip to Denali, and the day cruise excursions to the Kenai Fjords or Glacier Bay.
What are some recommendations for a family with kids these ages?

Checking back in. I’ve added some from this thread, of which I’m appreciative.
re: Why can Christmas music on the radio be so irritating?
Posted by meeple on 12/13/25 at 11:28 am to Violent Hip Swivel
It’s because Christmas songs played on the radio are overplayed like Mariah Carey and, mostly, just not pleasing to listen to.
I have a playlist of eclectic and obscure songs, as well as traditional songs by artists NOT heard on the radio 24/7.
Always looking to add, here’s a thread with good ideas.

Ok so who else is with me and will read the Odyssey before seeing this? :lol:
I’m not a purist, nor have the patience for the original. This edition was recommended by the internet, so thinking of going with it.
