I was up at 6 again this morning sewed some sequins on dds skirt then went back to bed for a couple of hours on my agenda for today is to square up the LR and scullery then finish my room of doom then I'm going to start on the walkin cupboard in there cause I have some storage boxes the tower type I'm going to put my cross stitching and knitting stuff in and I should find some more gibble for the car boot while I'm in there. Although I fear my car ain't big enough all ready!

how do you make your macaroni cheese, its probably one of my favourite meals and although I know its a basic have never been able to master it

thanks


also need to cut the grass today

you might be able to master this then as I make the cheese sauce in the MW and it's easy AS LONG AS YOU STIR A LOT
Boil the macaroni as per usual
make a cheese sauce - I cheat - I fling about a tablespoon of cornflour in a jug, add salt and pepper and stir in milk (about 1 pint - I no longer actually measure) so that the cornflour's mixed in then add a knob of butter/marg/stork zap for 2 mins, get out, stir, zap for 2 mins stir and repeat until it thickens up probably shortening zap times as it gets hotter. Dont be tempted to zap for longer though as cornflour sinks.
Add in grated cheese (any I have to hand that will grate!) and stir in.
Drain macaroni, put in dish, stir in cheese sauce and mix well. Add cooked, chopped gammon/bacon if using and stir in. Sprinkle with a little (to your taste) extra grated cheese, grill and serve OR allow to cool then give it 25 mins in an oven at Gas 4/180deg c.

hAVE BEEN LISTING ON FLEA BAY...

thanks will give it a go tomorrow when the grandkids are here!

gd1 prefers pasta to sweets, allthough she does have a softspot for cakes

let you know how i go on thanks
xx

Valli

you're welcome -
I have a fish pie recipe which is fairly similar - well the sauce is the same, bar the cheese;) - and the bay leaves, and the peppercorns
*rubs chin*
not THAT similar then :rotfl:

according to an ad for a certain soft cheese you can add a tin of sweetcorn

you could also add tuna instead of ham/gammon/bacon...

DS is having his nap, so i will get t'oover out and take it upstairs when he wakes up in about an hour. DH gets home from work at 2.30 so i might go for my walk then.

My macaroni cheese is always lacking. DH says that my cheese sauce tastes too floury and i have tried using ordinary flour and cornflour to no avail.

Valli

uropachild - don't use plain flour, do use cornflour - but make sure you get the sauce HOT enough to COOK the flour - I zap until it boils up in the jug...
