It's been way too long. I do apologize... so, want to grab the recipe of the day? Modified from about three other recipes, I think that with this many mods it qualifies as a New Recipe? Or at least one that requires no attribution.

I took:
4 Tbs of butter
1/4 chopped bell pepper
two or three dashes of dried minced onion
1 can of crabmeat
3/4 lb of tiny cooked shrimp
2 cups milk
3 Tbsp flour
8oz pasta, cooked
mozarella cheese for topping

Melt the butter until it's all bubbly and frothy in the pan, starting to brown. Pop in the bell pepper and onion, stir and cook for two minutes. Add the flour and milk to make a roux. Stir in the crab, shrimp, and pasta. Bake covered at 350 for 40 minutes. Remove lid, sprinkle liberally with cheese, and pop back in the oven for five minutes.

This received rave reviews. My own tastes are suspect, as I've been craving shrimp, crab, and chinese stirfry all week. However I'm pleased to report that the Toddler ate a good amount without trouble. I used a small, finger-friendly salad macaroni pasta.
