Bitterness starts out small. An offense burrows its way into our hearts. We replay it in our minds, creating deep ruts that will be hard to build back up. We retell our hurts to any available listener, including each sordid detail. We enlist support, pushing us further into our resentment. We hear the offending person's name and cringe. We decipher the offense as intentional and our offender as full of spite. We look for other reasons, both real or imagined, to dislike our villain. With each new piece of information, we form another layer of bitterness. We fool ourselves into thinking no one will know, but anger and resentment have a way of seeping into everything. Resentment is like a beach ball we try to submerge in the water. No matter how valiant our efforts, it pops up with all its vitality, splashing everyone around.

1 1/4	qt	Hot milk

INSTRUCTIONS

Line four 8x8-inch baking pans with heat-resistant freezer wrap.  Allow
enough extra wrap to fold over top.  Use one pan for each six servings or
one-fourth of the recipe.  Do not line pans for food to be served without
freezing.
Melt butter in a large sauce pan.  Stir in flour and seasonings.  Add hot
milk slowly.  Cook until thickened, stirring constantly.  Add cheese; stir
until cheese is melted.
TO SERVE WITHOUT FREEZING:  Serve over hot toast.
TO FREEZE:  Pour each part to be frozen into a baking pan.  Cool for 30
minutes at room temperature.  Complete wrapping by pulling paper up over
top of food.  Put edges of wrap together and fold several times so paper
lies directly on top of food.  Fold ends of freezer wrap over the top and
seal with freezer tape.  Label with name of food, date of freezing, and
last date the food should be used for best eating quality (about 6 months).
Freeze immediately for 10 to 12 hours before removing packages from the
pans.
TO HEAT FROZEN SAUCE:  Preheat oven to 350&deg; F. (moderate).  Remove freezer
wrap.  Place food in baking pan.  Heat 45 minutes or until bubbly at edges.
Stir occasionally during heating.  After heating, stir until rarebit is
smooth.  If rarebit is too thick, thin with hot milk.  Serve over hot
toast.
