Daughter's b-day again. Made Mac and Cheese 3.0 and Mock Chicken Salad.
Mac and Cheese 3.0
The sauce is 1/4 cup flour, 3 tbsp butter melted together in a saucepan. Then add 2 cups of milk, whisking thoroughly to combine. Heat the milk mixture slowly. Once warm enough to melt cheese, add about 1/2 pound gouda cheese (shredded), 1/3 pound of havarti cheese (shredded), and 1/2 cup shredded parmesan. I think the weights are about right. Season with black pepper. Pour over pasta once you finish cooking the pasta. NO BAKING!!! Baked Mac and Cheese is ridiculously stupid! You wouldn't boil ice cream, would you?!
This combines all the right cheeses for a perfect mac and cheese that adults and children can enjoy.
Mock Chicken Salad
Not my recipe. But cook about 1 pound of seitan (I cooked the citrus seitan I invented), and then mix with about half and onion minced, 2 peeled oranges cut up, 1/2 to 3/4 cup of cran-raisins, 1/2 to 3/4 cup of chopped walnuts, about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Miracle Whip (do that to taste and preference). This dish is just exploding in flavors!
