    Why use boxed Mac and cheese as a base, though?

    Cheaper and far faster than making Mac and cheese from scratch is my bet.

      Yu choy is such an underappreciated vegetable in the US. It’s usually very inexpensive, available at asian groceries all over, and stands in well for other greens. We use it as a 1/2 price (or cheaper) alternative to broccoli rabe in Italian dishes.

      I guess there’s always something lost when moving from one place to another, but man… the scarcity of Asian groceries (from tiny shops to warehouse size places) around here is a serious, serious bummer.

      The typical SE Asian selection at the local supermarket is laughably WASP-y in variety, and the prices are typically 5x-10x what I was spoilt with, back East.

              I agree with everything you said except using it in place of broccoli rabe, which has a delightfully bitter taste unlike either broccoli or yu choy. Broccoli rabe would overpower a mac & cheese dish, but yu choy feels just right.

              Yeah, fair enough. Definitely not as strong flavored.

                  Yesterday I grabbed a case of beer, a pack of cigarettes and some tinned fish and dedicated my day to cleaning and organizing my workshop. I fought until 5:30 in the morning and made tremendous progress.

                  This was after I could see the surface of half of my work bench.

                    I like your chest of drawers. It’s very cute.

                    My partner and I are almost recovered from being horribly sick. We drank maybe nine or ten claws, did six shots of vodka, and… I’m not even sure what we did last night, other than it was fun. Definitely watched Wild at Heart, at least mostly, and watched Brutalmoose for a while.

                    Today I have felt like I was dying all day. Food was impossible. Ended up ordering soup. The soup was good.

                        The chest on the left? I made it out of some spare plywood from a job. It holds so many odds as ends and it didn’t cost me a dime.

                        I have a mild headache today but also body pain from standing for so many hours.

                          I need a shadier area. It bolts before it gets bushy because of how hot it gets here.

                            I dunno, I wouldn’t think a cooking sub would consider making a mornay sauce and boiling some noodles to be a real heavy burden. As for the cost maybe? The cheese would be the most expensive component but I think it’s probably worth the upgrade to go from powdered cheese to real cheese.
