I'm a Stoffers frozen Mac and cheese person, myself. I tried making it from scratch several times, but it never tasted as good. Must be the tang from all those preservatives. If some one gave me Mac and cheese with peas I'd eat it happily enough, but I wouldn't add it on my own. I prefer steamed broccoli on the side that I can dip in the cheese sauce.
Well, it's just good to know that when the chips are down and things look grim you'll feed off the girl who loves you to save your own ass!

I have had Vortex's plain mac and cheese, and it was amazing. Now I really want to try to stuffed one. Mine is more of just a cheese sauce, not baked, no crumb toppings. Although once I did mix in caramelized onion, and it was amazing.

TCG took ltc to school today and picking her up. Which means I am still in my pjs, and there is no one else in my house. Which means I can mainline TV for the next 4 hours, which I have not done in nearly 6 months. I'm overwhelmed with the choices.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I've made (fairly plain) Mac and Cheese - I'd cook the macaroni, make a white sauce using whole milk, add a LOT of cheddar, some salt, a little white pepper and a spoon of mustard - I had a jar of tarragon mustard that worked well, but a Dijon or spicy mustard works well. I've heard of adding ham to Mac and Cheese, but not peas. I'm opposed to tuna casserole, because I always think of tuna being something you eat cold (as in tuna salad). I like peas, generally ... once came across a recipe for spring peas just barely cooked and ... I'm thinking tomatoes and mustard? can't remember. I'm picky about a number of things ... I've developed an aversion to most meat. And I can't eat lobster (you're welcome to my share).

Ann, that's a ferret.
One of my go-to meals in college was mac & cheese with a can of meat (I preferred chicken over tuna, and Spam works surprisingly well) and a small can of peas or corn. Very yum and very filling and not very expensive.

Yay! I've been sort of worried about her.
This conversation has me wanting scalloped potatoes and ham.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Whyyyyy is my body betraying me? I slept from about 11:30 to 1, and then was awake until around 4.

I am so happy that there are Vegan mac and cheese dishes available. That is a big comfort food for me.
