mac & cheese

A couple of days ago Elijah was introduced to the finest of our home cuisine: macaroni and cheese. None of the boxed stuff for us! Only the finest cheddar cheese will ever touch our macaroni. The recipe comes to us from Ryan's paternal grandmother via Ryan's mom. Ryan's mom tells a story of dropping off Ryan and his younger brother at a baby sitter's, and the baby sitter asking what the boys like to eat. "Do they like mac & cheese?" "Oh, yes, they LOVE mac & cheese!" Needless to say, neither Ryan nor his brother wanted anything to do with the mac & cheese that the baby sitter made for them out of the box. The little detail that the boys have ever only had home made macaroni and cheese did not get communicated to the baby sitter :)

We are proud to present to you a new macaroni and cheese snob in the making. The video was taken after he consumed about a ton of this delicious dish, so he may not look very excited about it here. When I tried to take another video the next day earlier during the meal time, my batteries ran out, and by the time they were recharged, there was no mac & cheese left. But even if Elijah may seem to you less than absolutely excited about what he is eating, trust me, he loved it!



P.S. For those of you familiar with this outstanding recipe, in case you are wondering how Elijah handled all the hot stuff we put on it, we made a pepper-less corner just for him.
