Mac N Cheese
Mac N Cheese

Funny story: I have actually never had Mac and Cheese prepared by anyone else other than myself and le nna, I feel like I struggled to get the recipe right. All the times that I wish to make it, there is always a shortage of cheese in the fridge, and when I do go shopping I hardly go out of my way to get proper ingredients for it.

Eating out, I have only ever noticed Mac and Cheese in the kiddies’ section of the menu at different establishments. However, I may have missed the adult portion because when dining out, one always wants to have something that’s far removed from a home cooked meal. Mac and Cheese isn’t a very popular dish in our region and for me, it is not an immediate go to home cooked meal as opposed to a Macaroni Tuna Mayo for instance. But that’s just me tota hela. My husband on the other hand renown’s himself for having learnt how to make Mac and Cheese when he was around 10-years-old overseas (even if it was from a box, lol). He and our boys love it!

When Neighbourfood Watch came out with their Mac n Cheese Fridays, it definitely caught my attention as a foody. Catchy name for starters, which is communicated by the logo, a chef with binoculars looking into other kitchens in the neighbourhood...lol. As well as a boldness to explore and think outside the confines of conventional meals.
