So I thought with all of the baking and cooking I have been doing of late I would start writing about my (mis)adventures into this (not so) new creative outlet of my life.
Today's attempt was mac and cheese. People have been promising me they would send some and I got tired of waiting so, I figured I would teach myself how to make this delight of hangover/comfort food. As first tries go, I have to say, I don't think it went too bad. The cheese didn't melt as smoothly as I would have liked it to, but it was still a little bit of white cheddar heaven in my mouth, which is good. I am thinking about adding some chicken and veggies to make it more of a meal. We'll see.
I have to admit, there is something about making dishes from home, which aren't readily available in other countries. It helps to quell the random moments of homesickness, which happen to us all, even those of us who love living abroad. Mac and cheese is no exception to this. For me, one taste of this simple noodle and cheesy dish and I am seven again, sitting with my mom on a Sunday, watching the 49ers getting their asses handed to them, listening to her frustration about their (lack of) playing and completely happy.
Anyway look for more of these to come, as I chatter about old favorites (brownies and lemon bars) and the new stuff I teach myself.
