mac n' cheese

I hold a special place in my heart, and stomach, for macaroni and cheese. When I was young it was the only thing I would eat. Now that I cook my own food, it's something I eat just a few times a year. Tonight I went to eat at Bumpkin with my friend Alison and just had to get the macaroni cheese (and yes, it was macaroni cheese, not macaroni & cheese) on the menu - and it didn't disappoint. Yummy, gooey goodness, with just the right amount of crust on the top.

I've come a long way with food. When I was growing up for as long as I can remember there was a note on the fridge in my handwriting with my signature on it, before I had an actual signature that stated:

I promise not to complain about what we have for dinner as long as we have macaroni and cheese at least once a week.

This was something that amazing both my parents and myself completely honored (at least as far as I recollect). My parents were very understanding people and it's amazing that I've developed the palate that I have and am not more spoiled than I am.....
