I just saw an M&M ad where the candies are caught in a hostage situation. It seems like that campaign could have been put on hold for a week or three.
Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

Yeah, I caught a glimpse of that ad the other day, and even without the current events, it just doesn't seem like something to make light of.

Calli, do all that and then throw it in the oven for 20 minutes with some shredded cheese on top.
I'm so glad I live in a hub city where I go direct pretty much everywhere.

I'll have to try that, Brenda.

Weather widget tells me it is 16 in my hood.
I went to market anyway. Will need to warm my freshly made grilled sandwich, though. And I carried it home in an insulated bag!

Pitstopping at the Brookline Library. I had a Houston Astro in my car earlier, nice guy, staying with his extended family in Quincy. Uber can be unexpectedly unexpected, which is cool adventure for sure.

I'm a convert to the evaporated milk + eggs method of mac & cheese, no roux necessary. Not that roux is difficult, but keeping cans of evaporated milk around is more reliable than having enough regular milk in the fridge at any given time.

Nifty, Theo.
I am intrigued by Beverly's mother's version of mac & cheese. Withe some minor tweaks that might fit my current lifestyle better than the traditional. ETA: Hm, also Jessica's.

Alton Brown's recipe is a pretty good start:
(And if you like your mac & cheese baked, just make this one, top with buttered bread crumbs and more cheese, and stick it under the broiler for a few minutes.)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Yeah, I'm very intrigued by Jessica's version. My go-to for non-boxed mac & cheese is: boil elbow noodles in one pot; melt Velveeta in another pot with milk; butter pan; drain noodles and dump in buttered pan; pour melted heart disease over noodles; optionally sprinkle grated cheese over top; bake in oven.
I realize Velveeta is not everyone's thing, though.
Because I am lazy as hell, I recently found this recipe for 1-pot, no-drain mac & cheese, and I'm tempted to try it: [link] I assume one could use regular noodles instead of GF.
