How can there be bad kittens? I look around at the shredded piles of toilet paper and I see only good kittens who sometimes do bad things. That said, it is pretty hard to shake the sense that Tangerine is truly a bad, bad kitten pretending at occasional goodness -- what's with all the glowing demon-eyes in the photos!!

Rebecca's Macaroni and Cheese


This weekend we are going to make cousin Rebecca's very own special recipe for macaroni and cheese.

It looks pretty easy to make.   And with a entire pound of Velveeta "cheese" in it, you just know it's going to be yummy!

Rebecca's Macaroni and Cheese

 
3-4c uncooked elbow macaroni
1/2c butter
1/2c flour
1tsp salt
1/8tsp pepper
3 and 1/2c milk
16oz Velveeta cheese
1 small onion (I suggest two medium onions)

It turns out Rebecca eats the onion while she makes the macaroni.

She tells me this helps her create a defensive shield against hostile forces at work, you know, like Sue in the Fantastic Four.

If you're going to eat the onions while you're cooking, maybe one will be enough for nice, fresh breath.
 
Boil macaroni.

Saute onion in butter (or eat onion while looking fetching in green silk pyjamas).

Add flour and stir. This is your rue.

Add salt, pepper, and milk, bring to a gentle boil (no scalding, like last time).

Add cubed Velveeta and stir until melted

Pour over cooked macaroni noodles (which should be in greased baking dish, 9X13ish type size, though I [Rebecca] use a casserole dish that holds that kind of volume).

Bake uncovered at 375 for 30 minutes.
 
note: if your casserole dish is pretty full put a cookie sheet under it in the oven cuz it may bubble over a teeny bit and its easier to clean a cookie sheet than the oven! lol
 
Hope you like it :)
