Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese
If you were following my tweets over the month of December or you’re one of my other social networking peeps, you probably heard some smoky, cheesy chatter coming from my digital lair. I’m, of course, referring to my Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese, a little dish I was perfecting over the holidays and am now feeling pretty good about. For those of you who are hearing about this for the first time… yes it tastes exactly as you’re imagining. So if you dig Smoked Gouda the way I do, get ready to have your socks AND your pants blown off of your body… cause I’m about to give you the recipe.
First I gotta give props where props are due. I actually got the original version of the recipe from an old friend that I reconnected with on Facebook. Viv and I attended a magnet school for media arts almost 20 years ago! Crazy. That was back when I thought I would pursue a career in design and illustration. And who knows where that may have led me… perhaps to sleepless nights designing 3D storyboards for James Gunn. Yeah, who knows.
Anyway, she’s a super gifted artist with an impressive portfolio of work in digital effects. And apparently, over the past two decades, she’s been collecting some tasty recipes. So I convinced her to present one to me… as a sort of reunion gift. Yeah, I was like, “Hey!! Wow!!! It’s been so long!!! Got anything awesome for me?!” The answer was a resounding, SMOKED GOUDA MAC AND CHEESE. And so now I pass this gift unto you… with a few modifications.
Okay let’s get started.
