What Was I thinking?
I was thinking that cheese and noodles are good.
Call squant on the way home. Ask him to make the macaroni and cheese. When he asks what to do, tell him this:
Boil until done:
- about a small shoebox's worth of organic bulk macaroni from the hippie grocery.
When done, drain, then put back in pot. Add:
- 1 pint microwaved milk (just make it hot, don't boil.)
- 1 1/2 blocks of monterey jack cheese.
- Some garlic.
- Whatever other spices you want.
Whack with a hammer until crumby and then sprinkle over the top
- 1 box (6oz) safeway cornbread stuffing mix - microwaveable
- The rest of that half block and cheese you have left.
When you get home about an hour later, check the oven. Damn, that smells good. Not quite done yet, though. You want to cornbread crumbs to be toasty brown. Let it bake about 10-15 more minutes.
The Verdict
Squant is a very good cook - unlike me, he doesn't seem to have this urge to add everything to every recipe. Therefore, when he was going for "Whatever other spices he likes" he added some paprika. Not paprika, cayenne, kelp, powdered ginger, and sage, but just paprika.
Cheese and macaroni and cheese is not one
of those dishes where things get uggy after a few days, so it keeps
well. The fact that squant made an uberload of it has not been a
problem. Mac n cheese is a simple dish with simple tastes. Cheese and macaroni and cheese is similar but with more cheese. It is also very good - we've been eating it for lunch and dinner since monday and we still look forward to mealtimes.
