Now, I never make really true, standard bechamel--I add too many flavoring ingredients to it--what I make would be called a "derivitative of bechamel."<BR/><BR/>Eh. At least mine has flavor!<BR/><BR/>Hadar--so long as there is pasta, cheese and milk in Israel, you can have macaroni and cheese. <BR/><BR/>If you want, I would be glad to write up a recipe just for you that you and Chad could make that would be a lovely comfort supper for you both. Hello, Ilva–welcome!

It is boring, isn’t it? Now, I never make really true, standard bechamel–I add too many flavoring ingredients to it–what I make would be called a “derivitative of bechamel.”

Eh. At least mine has flavor!

Hadar–so long as there is pasta, cheese and milk in Israel, you can have macaroni and cheese.

If you want, I would be glad to write up a recipe just for you that you and Chad could make that would be a lovely comfort supper for you both.

A rather boring taste as the result of a boring twenty minutes or whatever it takes of stirring! I do agree that it is really good in many dishes, like lasagne etc. but if I can escape it I do... running!<BR/>I love the story and how we block ourselves from doing really simple things!!

That was a true story--of all things for me to fall on my face over in culinary school, it would have to be the lowly white sauce. <BR/><BR/>I told my Mom that story she nearly died laughing. "But you had to make white sauce for your cooking badge in Girl Scouts! You know how to make it! How the hell did you screw that up?"<BR/><BR/>Yeah, well. I am talented, apparently. ;-) Thanks, Alanna! That was a true story–of all things for me to fall on my face over in culinary school, it would have to be the lowly white sauce.
