Mark's Story -
A few weeks ago, I was at the library, and I checked out a cookbook. I looked through it, and I found a recipe for a Turkey Chili. I made that for dinner one night. It was good. But it turned out a little watery. Trish suggested I add macaroni noodles. So, the next week, our workplace was having a Chili Day. I brought in a Mac 'n Chili. Trish told me that it is called a Chili Mac. I like Mac 'n Chili better. Everyone liked it. It's really good. I'll be making this one again.
Oh, one more thing, Jesus loves you!!
