Fine. Call it what you want. It's still mac and cheese. I made this one with whole wheat pasta. The cheese was mostly Swiss madrigal with some gruyere. It was a bit of work, but will easily give us 2 dinners. Plus, it tasted really good! Excellent heart-of-winter comfort food. I found the first seriously debatable issue in TAOSF in this recipe, however. Calls for 3/4 pound dry pasta which is WAY too much. I put about 1/3 of the cooked yield in a freezer container for later resurrection in another meal.
As long as I had the oven on, I quartered a bunch of brussels sprouts and roasted them. Tossed with a dressing of my own invention. I'm really developing a love for oven-roasted vegetables. Guess I've eaten steamed veggies for just way too long.
Maizie is doing better today. I think the pain meds are doing her as much good as anything, breaking the cycle of bladder irritation that results from constantly trying to empty the bladder. Giving this cat oral liquid medication is a challenge. We're giving her 2 twice a day. So far, all three of us are still living and not too badly wounded. Well, maybe it's not quite that bad.
Otherwise, I'm easing myself back into NCHS work, after a few days of utter frustration and whining. And, I'm continuing to work on my friend's quilt. Gawd, I love to make stuff!
Tomorrow? More rain. I like the water, but the lack of sun is really making us lose warmth in the house as our solar mass cools off. Not pleasant.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog. We share not only food and cat love but fibre work too. My Mother is an obsessed quilter, my sister left her high powered City job to complete a Fine Arts honours degree majoring in textiles, and I love to knit and can sew. Mum's late mother was a bespoke tailoress.
Hope your unwell kittycat is improving, huggles from me and purrrrumbling from Zebbycat (he has a very loud purr),
