1/1 - New Year's Tuesday!

[Sondi]

I've never used sour cream but, that sounds loverly. I usually use a roux(2 tbsp butter, 2tbsp butter) Sometimes I put (minced, fine diced)onions in the butter and sweat them(pinch of salt, couple minutes) first, then add flour(making a roux).
Cook one minute to get the "raw" taste out of the flour(cooking longer can increase nuttiness, if that's your goal).
Add 2 cups milk, stirring frequently until it thickens(you have a bechamel now).
Add 2 cups of your favourite cheese, stir until it melts.(you have classic cheese sauce, substitute parm reggiano and a pinch of nutmeg, you'd have alfredo).

Flavour as you normally would(whatever your mac and cheese recipe calls for) and pour over elbows.(or whatever pasta). sprinkle with some extra cheese if you like, or breadcrumbs, or bacon, or scallions(get creative). Bake as you normally would.(375 30 minutes)

Sorry I'm not @Sondi but, hope this helps.

I think you're more widely-knowledgeable



also I think my meatballs and celery root braise are going to be weird

told my husband to have a backup plan in mind

True. I just don't cook much, so I'm not sure what freezes well and what doesn't.

I eat a lot of frozen food, that's how I know what can freeze and still taste good LOL!

 

[Windir]

I'm having prime rib tonight.

 

[HelloHello]

User Testing Update as promised. Lots and lots of screeners today. Had the two I qualified for snatched out from under me. Looks promising workwise at this point - I mean today is a holiday so I imagine there's not too much work and a bunch of people sitting at home are trying to make a few extra bucks.

 

[JenniLeigh]

I need a batch :sob:

I'm just older so I've got more experiences to draw from.
Also, meatballs and celery root sounds nice to me. I bet it will be awesome.

EDIT Plus, being a banquet chef for a few years really helped. But, when I was a kid and was poor and hungry, I'd watch cooking shows to see food. I watched a LOT.

I hope so! I've never had celery root. It does smell good....

Backup plan is naan pizzas.

i'm having those precooked ribs you can buy already sauced that you stick in the oven for 10 minutes.

All I had to do was read "naan pizzas" for my tummy to rumble.

It's quite possible if I win that lottery tonight I may have to hire you as a chef. Although flying you in/out every time I want macaroni may get expensive.

I claim the Butler position. And I can sleep somewhere on your property in a tent, so long as I can get out of this stupid town.

Celery root salad is good. I've had it prepared like cole slaw

I call dibs on being the maid that doesn't actually clean anything, just looks busy

 

[FrenchToast]

I'm still stuffed from the Chinese buffet. But it looks like I didn't miss much today.

Blergh. I don't like babies until they're 3 months old and they've got all the goo off 'em. (<---joke)
Plus, my back already hurts and my ankles already swell.
So, no thanks.

3 months old is the super fun time when they know they want something and they're mad because they can't articulate what. I'll take the goo stage :thumbup:
edit: I might also be thinking of like 6 months, the entire first year is basically a blur

 

[thedorchannel]

so since turk is dead, i downloaded New Super Mario Bros Wii rom for my laptop, and the movie Whiteboy Rick. happy new year to me

Yeah, I don't want to own one. Luckily, all the children that I've had to raise had mothers that were attentive when they were still nursing.
