My newest addiction is this cookbook; The Mac + Cheese Cookbook: 50 Simple Recipes from Homeroom, America’s Favorite Mac and Cheese Restaurant by Allison Arevalo and Erin Wade. Buy it. Buy it now. Buy it for everyone you know. Please. I just bought it as a birthday gift for our friend Linda, and I’m hoping she falls in love with it, and makes us lots of mac and cheese. Here’s what I wrote on the inside cover for her, because sometimes a gift is not enough, sometimes words are required.
“Happy birthday dearest Linda! I can’t think of a better way to show unending and absolute love for someone, than to give them the gift of mac & cheese. Sure there are deviled eggs, grilled bacon, and homemade ice cream, but mac & cheese is just simple basic comfort food at its best. Mac & cheese says I love you; hell, scratch that, it screams I love you bitch at the top of its lungs for the entire world to hear. And that’s how we feel about you. You and mac & cheese, we love you bitch, and we’ll love you even more after you’ve spent a day in the kitchen together getting to know one another.”
