Maccaroni and Cheese

OK. So while the rest of Physiology 200 class is studying their butt off. I decided to blog about making food. Well... we all need to eat right?

So... This is how you make Mum's Maccaroni and Cheese and bacon and onion.

First, you'll need to have the following ingredients:
1) Pasta
2) Milk
3) Bacon
4) Onion
5) Cheddar Cheese
6) Plain Flour
7) Butter
8) Salt and Pepper


So start... you need to boil your pasta, till its all nice and 'al dente' like the pros say...

While your pasta is boiling... chop up some bacon (or ham if you dont have bacon), onion and grate some cheddar cheese (I was too lazy to have to wash a grater, so i just sliced my cheddar cheese thinly)

I was too lazy to wash another plate so i dumped them all on the chopping board...

Then once your pasta is done, pour it out and put it in a bowl, and with the same pot, melt some butter

use about half of that amount... then throw in your onions and bacon.
make sure its on low heat if not you'll end up burning the bottom even before your onion is soft, or bacon nicely cooked- Like i managed to do... =.=
(another option is to use a non-stick pan to cook those two but again, i dont like washing...)
Once thats all cooked and done, take it out, and put it somewhere~
then melt the other half of the butter, and cook it with about 1 teaspoon of Plain Flour:
You'll end up with a clump of yellow flour ball looking thing which looks kind of scary but i unfortunately dont have a picture of that...

Then pour in about 1/3 cup of milk or around there... if you pour more in, its more watery, if too little then its kind of sticky...
mix it in.. and you'll end up with something like this... (no more freaky little yellow flour ball :S)


mine's all brownish cuz the bottom of the pot is brown (remember from just now...?) but i think it adds a bit of flavour :P
After that, you should add in your bacon and onion that you cooked earlier on, and at this stage- taste it and add salt and pepper as you wish.
I was too busy taking pictures i completely forgot to add any salt or pepper. BUT the bacon was salty! so careful dont add too much salt... i added it in at the end... >< so un-pro...

After that, turn off your fire/hotplate/whatever ure using, pour in your pasta, and add in your grated cheddar cheese and MIX MIX MIX MIX MIX....

and....

Ta-Daa!!

Your very own maccaroni (or whatever pasta you used) and Cheese and Bacon and Onion.


Hokai. i think its about time i worry about physiology. i'm surprisingly calm even though i dont know much and the exam is tomorrow and i know i'll be kicking myself after the paper tomorrow for not studying hard enough...

Anyway, guess what I have been doing =.=
