Macaroni Cheese
It’s cold, cold midwinter in Canberra and the only cure for cold, cold midwinter is macaroni cheese. Once you’ve had the homemade variety (from my grandmother’s fifties’ notebook) you may never bother with a box again.
Macaroni Cheese
¼ lb macaroni
¼ lb cheese
a few breadcrumbs
a little made mustard
cayenne
1 oz butter
Boil the macaroni till tender. Drain well and put a layer of it on a flat dish, and sprinkle a few breadcrumbs over it, then a little cayenne and salt and mustard some tiny pieces of butter and a spoonful of milk then grated cheese, then another layer of macaroni etc, until all the ingredients are used. Sprinkle cheese and breadcrumbs over the top. Bake in a quick oven for 20 – 25 minutes. Serve very hot.
PS The picture is of my other cure for winter blues. And yes, it’s not your imagination that you’re getting more of my grandmother’s recipes this winter - I’m away a lot and have had to resort to posting in advance, which makes wider-ranging posts hard to do. I’ll be back to my regular schedule in August.
If there are any types of posts or any subjects you’ve missed over winter, now’s the time to email (using the contact details on this page) and make your needs known. Also, if I promised you a post on something and have forgotten, now’s the time to remind me so I can crank up my brain.
