Food!

I hate days when I'm really hungry.  I feel like I go through spells.  There will be one week when all I'll do is eat.  Then the next week, I'll eat a few bites and not be able to finish the rest.  It's really annoying because the weeks where we have good food or go out somewhere really good to eat are the weeks that I don't want food.

And I like good food.

One of my favorite foods is macaroni & cheese made from scratch.  It's pretty much a two person job to make.  Mom always works on the white sauce; I tend to grate cheese and cook pasta.  The white sauce was kind of difficult to make the first time.  You melt 2T of Butter for every cup of sauce you want to make.  Once the butter is melted you take it off the heat and add 2T of flour for every cup you want.  Once you have a thick paste you start adding in 1C of milk for every 2T of butter & flour.  You add a little at a time to ensure it mixes smoothly.  Once you put the mixture back on the heat, you have to stir constantly.  If you don't you ruin the entire thing.  If you try to make it by yourself you have to have everything prepared right next to the stove so you don't have to leave it alone.  It feels like you need about 6 hands to get everything accomplished.  Once it's done, though, it's worth all the hard work.

Another of my favorites is lasagna, but I hate how long regular lasagna takes to bake.  I tend to just take all the ingredients of lasagna and just throw them on top of pasta because it's better in my opinion and is a ton quicker.

Food is awesome.  I love to eat good food because it makes you feel better than if you were to eat fast food all the time.  Homemade stuff is the best, but there's a lot out there to make it a lot easier to cook.
