Say Mac & Cheese!

In defiance of National Salad Month, I am going to give you the secret to making photograph-worthy Macaroni and Cheese. I mean, because of you all, Nanny Goats In Panties has risen to #4 on the Sacramento Top 25, so the least we can do here is share one of our all-time favorites. And just in time for summer, too!

First make some macaroni and cheese and throw the leftovers in the fridge.

Two or three days later, remove leftovers from fridge and put in a microwave safe bowl.

Set timer to something that is clearly way too long, push the START button and walk away.


Remove this from the microwave:

I don't know if everyone can see this. Mortimer? (Mortimer's our cameraman). Mortimer, if you could just zoom in here, so we can all see just how much texture there is here...

Mmmmmm. And the great part about this is, it comes right out of the bowl with no trouble at all. Talk about your hassle-free recipe!

You can probably put your bowl right back in the cupboard after that smooth removal!

So, now that you've got your hockey-puck of a disaster delicious meal prepared, you need to find a circular container, preferably stainless steel. I like to add some orange rind for a little zing:

And you've got yourself a tasty delight! Now, didn't I tell you it was photograph-worthy?

Oh, that reminds me, did you know that May is also Fungal Infection Awareness Month ?

A Nanny Goats Shout Out...


So, Tootsie Farklepants & I were talking the other day over tea and crumpets. The usual stuff: vampires and the impact of blood-sucking on global warming. We can't seem to agree on that issue so it continues to gnaw at us. She seems to think that if any scary monster was responsible for tearing a hole in the ozone layer, it would be the gas-guzzling lycanthropes - something about all the carbon-dioxide-emitting moon-howling. I say, if she'd ever actually met and been bitten by Dracula, she might see vampires in a whole new light. In spite of our differences, I find her blog, Vintage Thirty, hysterical and she has generously added Nanny Goats In Panties to her blog roll. Thank you, Ms. Farklepants! There is a picture of Mac N Cheese on her blog as well, but hers looks way different than mine. Edible, even.
