made mad and cheese, guys
how does it look??
I used a little too much flour so the sauce is a little ... doughy? and maybe a bit too much baking soda
but its tasty, and not bad for my first try

I love the sound mac and cheese makes when youre stirring it with the sauce

you don't need to use any flour. just use the pasta water to thicken.

The drink pairing of choice, unsweetened peach iced tea

>>21407267
the pasta water is really salty

>>21407272
add less salt

>>21407275
but then the pasta wont be salted

>>21407278
Yes it will. You don't need the water to be as salty as the sea; it should be as salty as soup.

>>21407285
it was as salty a soup, but that's still too salty for mac and cheese in my opinion

Why did you use baking soda wtf

>>21407309
as an emulsifier, otherwise the cheese wont mix with the milk and roux
i tilted the box in directly like a dumbass instead of using a spoon and way too much fell out

ahhhhh
that iced tea was good

>>21407311

a lil bit of a fruity treat to top it off.. gotta get that vitamin c y know?
