This is how it went down....I opened up a bag of elbow macaroni over a pot of boiling water and ended up with the whole bag in there, instead of half! Sooooo then the pot is too full! I cook it 'al dente' and then drain it, of course, a bunch ends up falling into the sink! Then, once back in the pot I add the cheese and milk, ooops! Remember how I mentioned it was too much for the pot? So I am now trying to stir the over flowing pot of mac and cheese and end up stirring it ALL over the place! Ok, cheese melts and I get the BRIGHT idea to pour into an baking dish! Before I had remembered to grease it! That will be fun to clean later! I want a crispy topping, but now I have to wait for the oven to heat up because of course, I hadn't planned properly! Bread crumbs end up getting poured on top and oh wait, it gets better! Hubby jumps in to help and decides to move things along UNDER the broiler! Yep, it burned! Here's an awesome pic of the mac and cheese tonight, all burnt topping has been scraped to the left. *sigh* Thank goodness I'll be done being pregnant soon!
