full title...Turkey, mac and cheese: Michelle reveals she's throwing out 'Let's Move' campaign to give her family a good stuffing on Christmas Day

Michelle Obama put her campaign to end childhood obesity on hold as she helped cook up some turkey, stuffing and mac and cheese.

The First Lady dubbed herself ‘hostess in chief’ as she welcomed the country into her family’s home for the holidays.

‘This is the time when I throw “Let's Move” out the window for a moment, and get that mac and cheese. Everybody deserves their mac and cheese,’ she told The Today Show this week.

Too sweet for tofu. Even too sweet for pretzel sticks. But it was open. We got a nice red, Cabernet Franc, from another NC vineyard. We’ll probably drink it with the ham on Christmas night.

Biltmore does a decent vaguely spicy holiday red wine that isn’t too sweet. Wouldn’t exactly call it dry either, though. Cardinal’s Crest? Not sure but I remember liking it at the time, years ago, not too pricey.

Biltmore wines cost too much, unless it’s their non-varietal “red” or “white” on markdown.

Now that ‘THEY’ are reelected, things areagonna change.
No more trudging in that phony garden-pretending to get my Gucci’s muddy, no more diet, just keep practicing the fiddle (him) and the Let ‘em eat cake (her) routines.

Retails for $11.99, went and looked it up. Seems to have come up in the world as far as awards, it wasn’t really all that noted back when I tried it, just sounded nice for a Christmas dinner with friends so we bought several bottles and it worked out. The wine snobs weren’t offended by it and the noobs enjoyed it as well, lol. Hard to please both.

The really noteworthy wines from Biltmore would be expensive and some are hard to find. The Temparanillo is very well regarded, then there’s their Antler Hill label that is California rather than NC, some very nice highly rated ones there, but they’re pushing $50.00.

Must be a Chicago black thing.I’ve asked blacks I know here in TN about that recently and not one said it was on the menu. Chitlins yes, man and cheese no. Many of my white friends do the chitlins also

I get your point about the home made type of mac and cheese. I’ve lived my entire life in the south (TN, TX, LA) I’ve never once seen mac and cheese at Thanksgiving or Christmas. I’ve seen duck, coon, chitlins and any number of unusual dishes. But never mac and cheese. How much more starch does one need on top of mashed potatoes and dressing and rolls?

Around here it’s more cheese than starch and the dressing has oysters in it so it’s not necessarily starchy either.

To each their own.There will be several cooking and bringing side dishes to our Christmas dinner Tuesday. There might be more than one green bean casserole, but I don’t expect any mac and cheese. If there is I’ll report back for some crow

It’s very good, certainly not those dayglo orange rubbery noodles in fake velveeta that some seem to think the name connotes. It presents well on the table prepared in this manner. No reason to snub it at all.
