You can make a roux, Jilli. It just involves a lot of stirring. I usually try to make myself a drink first so I have something to keep me entertained while I make it.

Thanks for permitting me that indulgence!
It was a treat for me. Moving to New Orleans was such a bold, good thing for you guys.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You are totally New Orleanean now, Nora! Fun.

Don't fear the roux, Jilli! If you don't want to pay attention to it, you can make it in the oven.
Monterey Jack and olives going on the shopping list. I don't know about this feta idea. Does it melt?

Yeah, but this means I have to try making a roux. Which is something I've been too wimpy to attempt. I fear the scorching! I am not an attentive or organized cook!
It's super easy. Really. I'm not super attentive either, but roux are simple--- just stir constantly until it smells like toast (for our stove that's about 5 minutes for 4 tablespoons of butter and equalish flour). It's no problem at all.

Wait, if people don't make a roux, how do you make mac and cheese?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Nora, have you ever tried Steen's on fried trout? My great-grandfather used to do that.

Not really, but it softens.

You just add the milk and butter to the orange powder?

I've seen a recipe for mac and cheese that used cottage cheese.
