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?
Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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.

Come visit me, Jen! I will put it on your plate!
Re: roux. I need to do it in a pan that's not a cast iron pan, because I can't monitor the subtleties of the roux color and end up pulling it early. Oh! Roux wars: whisk or wooden spoon?

Vortex, with buttermilk and shredded sharp cheese? And then baked?
