Adventures in Culinaria Part II

What did you do last Saturday night? I bet it wasn't as fun and exciting as staying home and making mac and cheese! Yeah, that's what I thought.

Luckily, you can relive the experience here with me.

So we started with nothing but Alton's recipe and our will to succeed. I had just come off a long day of test-proctoring and data-entry (my nickname should be "Speedy Fingers" - no comments from the peanut gallery, please), but Baker was raring to go.

All I had to do was grate the cheese.

Lots o cheese

Within mere minutes, things were bubbling away nicely on the stovetop.

But it took a while (30+ minutes in the oven) for us to get to this point.

We had to season our portions just so...

... before we were ready to eat our cheesy mounds of goodness.

Plating

Now you know why this type of blog post is often referred to as "food porn." You just wiped the drool off your chin, didn't you?

Yowzah, that looks good. Just one question: Can potfuls of this stuff be ordered to be shipped via air freight to the West Coast? We live close enough to the airport to pick it up and get it home while it's still hot! BTW, We also live astonishingly (and delightfully) close to a major horse racing venue. But that's another story...GPL, TBC
