Bastrop Texas getting a new convention center!

Bastrop is getting a new Convention Center!  It will be a 26,000 sq. ft. facility located on Chestnut Street.  The project is scheduled to be completed in 2011.  Just across the street the new City Hall is under construction and scheduled to be completed It is currently in the process of being built and should be completed by this summer.  This is exciting news for Bastrop.  Other new construction  I have seen in the Bastrop area are all of the hotels that are under construction.  I am guessing that they are being built in anticipation of the business that the new Convention Center and future venues will bring.  Bastrop is growing!

Kayaking on Lake Bastrop

My husband and I took our kayaks out on Lake Bastrop just east of town.  We loaded in at the South Shore.  There is a minimal day fee but it is well worth it.  There is a boat ramp, small dock, kayak and canoe rentals, a small swim beach, grills, and play areas, and they also have RV spots and small cabins to rent.  We kayaked for about an hour and went to the small dam.  There were a number of fishermen out that morning and it seemed that the fish may have been breeding or in feeding boils as we saw lots of activity. ( As you can tell I am not a fisher-person ...)

The cooler weather in Bastrop County is making me hungry for Mac and Cheese....

With the cooler weather here in Bastrop County I have just developed a craving for some old fashioned mac and cheese.  Nothing like comfort food when there is a chill in the air.  I have been searching for a recipe and found this  one from Mama Dip's Family Cookbook which was published in the most recent issue of Southern Living. They call it the Community Nurse Macaroni and Cheese. It serves six.

 Ingredients :

 One cup dry milk, 1/4 cup flour, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 lb shredded sharp cheese, 1/2 stick of butter or mararine - melted, 2 eggs - beaten, one 16 oz. box/bag of elbow macaroni  - prepared, 1/2 cup cracker or bread crumbs. 

Instructions:

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.  Mix together the first eight ingredients.  Stir in the prepared macaroni and  then put in to a 1.5 quart baaking dish.  Top with the crumbs and then back for 45 minutes.

 

This is similar to the recipe my mom gave me years ago with the exception of the "dry"  milk and Worchestershire.  I am tempted to make this recipe as it has been published but  keeping waistlines in mind maybe I should try to cut some of the fat content by using low fat dry milk and cheese.  And whole wheat macaroni might be smart too.

 Can't wait either way!  Try it and let me know what you think!
