I hope it tastes better than I looks Vic.

Yes it does, sorry about the color, I didn't use any food coloring or dyes.

Though it tastes better without the croutons.

The way my mother taught me to make M&C was much simpler. Cook pasta. Spread a layer in the baking dish. Cover with grated cheese. Grind a bit of pepper over the cheese. Repeat layers, 3 or more (depending on the shape of the dish). Sprinkle minced onion on top layer. Pour milk all over until it comes about 2/3 up the dish. Bake ~30 minutes or until top is brown and crusty.

Lots of oven-baked mac 'n cheese recipes start with a bechamel sauce, which helps ensure that you get a creamy final product. I find this to be a bit more effort than I want to go through for mac 'n cheese, unless I want a do-ahead dish because nieces and nephews are visiting. For those who subscribe, Cook's Illustrated has an excellent stovetop mac 'n cheese recipe. It is quick, relatively inexpensive and delicious, but not low in calories.

Though I'd advise anyone to skip the croutons, it tastes much better without, especially with cheese and Garlic, heartburn...

And yes this was not easy to make, the Macaroni was free though.

I just made some Pizza tonight.
Bought some frozen Pizza and added some Salami, Cheese and mushrooms.

My wife loved it.

I see. You skipped the hard part.
Making the dough...
It would be nice if someone could come up to sell pizzadough.
Oh. Someone have.
PizzaKit.
A Pizzakit contains both fresh dough for the pizza base and a classic tomato sauce, seasoned with herbs and sweet onions. The only thing you need to do is to add cheese topping and a few sprinkles of imagination.

The best pizza crust I've had is on a Chicago style pie from Chicago's Gino's East. It's a cornmeal dough of some sort.

I ate reindeer meat on pizza once, in Finland.

Some years we can get elk, moose, buffalo, and of course venison.
The elk comes in sausage, moose in roasts, and so far I have only
had buffalo burgers. The deer meat comes in roasts, steaks, and
sausage. I am very partial to moose and venison. I have met folks
who have eaten caribou and they all say that it is pretty good.

Nice. Perhaps it was "Pizza Berlusconi":)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kotipizza

Pizza Berlusconi is Kotipizza's name for a pizza of smoked reindeer, with tomato, cheese, chanterelle and red onion.[5]

It was named "Pizza Berlusconi" in summer 2008 after Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. Berlusconi had caused a minor diplomatic incident in 2005, when he said that he had had to "endure" Finnish cuisine,[6] and joked disparagingly about Finns eating "marinated reindeer". Although marinated reindeer is a common dish in Lapland, in the rest of Finland the meat is traditionally stewed or dried.[7]

With Pizza Berlusconi, Kotipizza won the America's Plate International pizza contest in New York in March 2008, beating the Italian-Americans, who came in second place, and the Australians in third.[8]

Here's a recipe from the bag that of Macaroni came from, enjoy. I didn't buy any ingredients for this one.

Is this true?
A burger made from plants that actually taste like meat?
Well it looks delicious.

The sights, sounds, smells, textures, and most importantly, flavors – makes meat lovers rejoice.

Gosh I love the Farmer's Market! I picked up about eight different types of plums and pluots to enjoy this week. There was also a vendor there with a wide variety of dates. Yum!

I wish I could get excited about fruit like that. I like oranges and grapefruit, but that's about it. Good pears and peaches are nice but just not things I gravitate toward. I think I like melons, particularly cantaloupe, more than other types of fruit. And I do like raisins; does that count? ;~)

The mind is a weird and mysterious place

There are very few fruits and vegetables that do not excite me. I go to the Farmer's Market every week I am home to cook. It is one of the highlights of my week. I purchased most of the ingredients for dinner tonight there.

Bleh. His followers are going to be missing micro-nutrients, fiber and the joy of eating.

Food is communal. Food is celebratory. Food is delicious. I do not consider eating an obligation. It is a pleasure!

All my life I have thought that
it was important to stick to
the basics. Food is a basic.



edit:
A wonderful experience sharing food with others.....

That's my problem. It's too much of a pleasure.

I could see this working as a weight loss aid, but there would still be times when I want to eat something.
