Just watched it Dran - it looks really great I do have to question one bit though - 16 servings? I'd eat that in about 3 maybe 4 all on my own The current economic climate has me doing loads of reading/studying on ways I can reduce costs and I've found a really cheap way of getting my mac'n'cheese fix is to use a stoe bought bechamel that doesn't need the pasta cooked beforehand. I add loads of bacon bits, chopped up broccolli, sweetcorn and extra grated cheese to it before pouring it over the pasta. If I've got any cooked chicked about I'll sometimes add that instead of the bacon. 25mins uncovered then add that vital grated cheese topping before baking for a final 20mins. With all the extra bits I add in I reckon I add about 25% extra volume which helps make it go a bit further. I normally get about 4 servings from this (it freezes really well). One of the issues I have with a lot of recipes is they seldom take info account the cost of the cooking and an oven is certainly one of the most expensive things to use but for a lot of stuff it is the only way (that I've found so far). I did recently invest in a tabletop halogen oven though (£45 including all taxes & delivery) that helps reduce that though - under a minute from cold to cooking temp and it's fan assisted so reduces the temp/time needed as well. Cooking it like this costs me about £1.50 so something I can afford whenever I've got the bits. Got to go now as it's time to go harvest some of the wild cherries right outside my door - hugs to you and Nad. Stay safe, healthy and happy!

First let us address the servings and cost- 16 1/2 cup servings as a side, as far as budget friendly, this dish(my version) is far from budget friendly. This dish set me back a bit(about $6 per 8oz block of cheese which I only used 4 kinds instead of the typically 6-8), and second- you sir did exactly what I want my viewers to do, make things their own. Experiment and improve is my motto. By adding all those delicious ingredients you have turned a side into a main dish which is to be another episode. I will also be doing an episode dealing with leftover chicken and using that to make a chicken pot pie on top of other budget friendly meals.
Well brother smoking a pork shoulder, testing before I attempt it for show, take care and Nad sends love

World Map File Search Bug Fix Fixed(?) the bug where if you tried searching on either the coords or GEOID the tool crashed. This was due to a completely stupid mistake on my part when I added the ability to filter by adjacent tiles cbt terrains. Please note that there are still limitations on the neighbours search in that if you try searching too large an area it will crash the tool giving you no results. I'm still trying to fix that. Please let me know if you find any errors/glitches - if folks don't tell me something is broke then it won't get fixed! Tens
