Not so sure about Velveeta -- it's too rich for me. It's like eating straight butter. Bleh. But maybe mixing some in with reg. cheese would work. I also had some wicked awesome mac-n-cheese at a teacher luncheon and it contained Gorgonzola cheese. I would never think to use it that way, but it was sooooooo good!<br><br>I also agree with Lexmark customer service. Most of our printers at school are Lexmark and I've been on the phone with them so many times, they probably remember me by name. They are good about getting things fixed or replaced, depending on the problem.rebeccahttp://www.rebeccaburch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-64585036882490693652009-06-04T07:25:18.204-04:002009-06-04T07:25:18.204-04:00The mac n cheese sounds yummy.I'll bet it was ...The mac n cheese sounds yummy.<br>I'll bet it was a nice change from all the beans :)<br><br>G<br>xxMyst_72http://www.blogger.com/profile/01670435027908994101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-31650100628905453802009-06-04T07:13:09.323-04:002009-06-04T07:13:09.323-04:00It's a sad state of affairs when we are surpri...It's a sad state of affairs when we are surprised by good customer service, isn't it?!Danahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05427053242655177097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8302027825736277868.post-10600000451361325222009-06-03T20:29:28.053-04:002009-06-03T20:29:28.053-04:00Yummy.
