More Mac & Cheese

Every once in a while, I go on a kick where I'm in search of a specific recipe that is just as good or better than the pre-packaged stuff, but isn't too difficult. Recently, it's been macaroni and cheese. The recipe I posted previously is very easy, and quite tasty, but doesn't have the creamy cheese that we've all probably come to expect. I tried a Velveeta recipe in the crock pot, and soon discovered that while also tasty, the recipe I tried did not turn out well (too much liquid). Well, I think I've found a really good compromise.

In other news, we've had family here this week, and we went to the Smithsonian a couple days ago. Julia Child's kitchen has been set up in the Museum of American History. What a character she was. And tall! Good grief. They had a picture of a young Julia cooking in a kitchen with regular sized appliances, and it looked almost comical. The woman was 6'2", you see. I think I shall have to read more about her, as she seems quite inspirational, though I think I'll skip the actual French cooking.
