Sue Devoid's Dead at 40 Mac N' Cheese
I love this mac and cheese so much. It is my aunt Sue's recipe, which has been tested and tweaked over the years. It makes plenty, but should be eaten with caution. I think I was 21 when I wrote this recipe down, so 40 seemed a long way off. Well, here we are. And still, this should be made sparingly and treated with extremem caution, although it is perfectly rich and indulgent.
