The other day Mom said that something she has never mastered yet is Baked Macaroni and Cheese. So that put me on a mission to find the perfect Baked Mac n Cheese. I found a recipe for it in a cookbook that I have, Food & Wine Annual Cookbook 2009. It called for elbow noodles, lots of cream and milk, a bit of nutmeg, salt and pepper, sharp and extra sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack cheese, and some cream cheese. It had a very good taste, but wasn't quite how Mom and I were wanting it to be. It was kind of dry and the cheese a bit curdled or something. I think that is how a lot of baked mac and cheese dishes get. However, we want a creamy version. So I looked online for some recipes. I found two. So my mission sometime soon will be to make them and see how they turn out.
I also made Roasted Vegetables with Pesto Sauce. I cut up carrots and sweet potatoes and roasted them for about 45 minutes. Then I added sliced squash and cabbage and roasted it some more until the veggies were all soft. Then tossed it all in some of the basil pesto that I had made earlier.
I hate Verizon Wireless. I had taken some good pictures of the food with my phone, but then couldn't send them to my e-mail address because Verizon messed my phone up. It's a long story but I could send them earlier today and now I can't. I had to take some pics of the leftovers with Janina's digital camera. So the food doesn't look as good as it would have with the other pictures. Dumb Verizon!
