I went on a fantastic walk today-- 4 1/2 miles along Lake Washington, up the Mt. Baker bluffs, along the ridge, down through Madrona and back. I walked for about three hours (there was a long chat with a border collie owner in there). When I finally got home, I was famished and I had mac-n-cheese on the brain. No boxed stuff in the house (I really am trying to cut back...). What's a girl to do? IMPROVISE! This is not a recipe, per se, because I just threw it together, but the guidelines should work.
Mac-n-Cheese in a Hurry
Serves one
1 cup macaroni pasta
butter
flour
packaged shredded medium cheddar
salt
milk
Boil the pasta.
Make a roux (that is, melt the butter and mix in flour until it's thick).
Add milk until smooth.
Add cheese.
Add salt to taste.
Add pasta to sauce.
Ta-DAH! I can see this as a weeknight go-to meal when I have a family.

I am impressed that you can come up with your own recipes on the fly. I wish I could do that. Maybe someday, as I study this "stay-at-home" role I'm supposed to be holding. I'm also impressed with your walk! I want to go on a walk now. Too bad it's so gray outside.
Instead of a coffee date maybe you should show me some good mac-and-cheese in the Burien area. :)
