From Dinner To Table: The Epic Journey Of Food
So, in celebration of returning to Menewsha, I have decided to open a thread about my latest exploits in the world of food! Come with me and you can inquire about my awkward struggle to save capital by growing my own food! And some pretty flowers. Because... because.
Quick question for anyone. Do you know how I get pictures from my phone on this website? Do I need a third party host? |

What do you know about fine mac and cheese? |

Depends. Fine dining, luxurious mac and cheese? Or, "this is a fine night to go to the hospital" rich mac and cheese? |

I've always been a fan of mac and cheese and it's only recently that I've taught myself how to make a decent batch. However, I'm not quite at the culinary level that I would like to be at. There once was a restaurant in Tucson that made the best mac and cheese ever. But they closed and the recipe has slipped from my grasp. If you show me your secret recipe, I'll show you mine.

Well if I make hospital-worthy stuff it encourages me to stay within portion sizes. I've done that with cheese-based dishes before where I eat more than I should then just lie in bed waiting for death to take me for my transgressions.
Mmm, powder? Interesting. In other news, I have about 30 boxes of mac and cheese in my cabinet since they were on clearence for 33 cents. It's fast, easy, and sometimes better than spending $30 on two people. One of my many macs: 1 c sharp cheddar 1 c colby jack 1 c mild cheddar 1 c farmers cheese 1 box, 16-20oz celentani noodles 1/2 c whole milk 1/2 c 1/2 and 1/2 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp coarse black pepper 1 tsp paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 4 Tbsp butter 1/4 c panko bread crumbs I honestly have about six different ways of making this depending on how cheesey, how firm, how condensed, etc I want it, but these are the hits. |

Farmers cheese? What is farmers cheese? I like to use cheddar or a Monterrey jack mix with mozzarella to make the cheeses stretchy. I'll use an extra packet of powdered cheese to make my mac concoction. A wasted box of noodles is worth it to me if it brings about more flavor. In addition to the milk and butter I add about a half cup of cheddar soup. Add the cheeses and powder along with some ground beef and you have yourself a fattening meal. |

When I make mac and cheese I just combine butter, flour, milk and shredded cheese that I shred myself. I usually use a mixture of cheeses because just extra sharp cheddar on its own renders too much fat and doesn't adhere to the noodles correctly.

Ah. I see. I've done the extra packet when I needed those noodles for something else. Cheddar soup mixed in sounds delightful.[drool][drool][drool] ---------- Post added 03-13-2017 at 07:52 PM ---------- Quote:
