Experimenting with food
Fair warning, anyone with any dairy issues should avoid the following. Sorry ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
surelle. :(
Well, I inspired byshogunhb when he described his flair for food experiments, mixing of flavors and so forth. Couple that with surelle's post about comfort foods. The result is what I had for lunch today.
Mix mac-and-cheese with an alfredo sauce mix. That's right, all cheese packets are in play. I used two Shaw's brand mac-n-cheese boxes and a packet of Knorr Alfredo sauce mix.
Start big pot of water boiling.
When you pour the pasta in, start the alfredo sauce in another saucepan, preparing it as directed on the packet. ::insert picture of me stirring both pots at once::
The alfredo sauce should be just boiling (put it on another burner set to simmer) as the timer goes "ding!" for the pasta.
Drain pasta, dump back in pot, bring back to stove (keep from any of the burners though, yah?) and dump in marg/butter, milk, and cheese packet, stir (don't forget, you are timing the alfredo sauce with the occasional stirrings at this point). Alfredo sauce done, dump into already mixed mac-n-cheese mixture. Serve immediately to rave reviews.
Sweety went back for seconds. ::pats self on back::
Next time maybe I'll add shrimp and broccoli to the mix.
EDIT: I had originally intended to include this silly meme and then forgot. Frompsychoredhead07, who turns out to be a vivid blue.
