 I chose another fairly simple recipe this week: Macaroni A La King.  Although as a French teacher, that physically hurts to use the phrase "La King."  I also picked something that could potentially be frozen and eaten for awhile, in case we get the three days of ice and snowstorms that are forecasted to start tonight.  I'm still eating Chocolate Dessert, too.  The weeks are about to get a little crazy, with school and rehearsal, and the construction site that is my backyard.  This recipe only involved one emergency trip to the store, because I realized I only had almond milk instead of real milk.  I have a running list of things to Google.  When did almond milk become commercially available?  I knew how to prepare the ingredients, but again, the instructions were kind of vague, and I tried to remember the order of ingredients when I made macaroni and cheese from scratch.  Weird fact about me:  I don't cry when I cut onions.  Google, why don't some people cry when they chop onions? 

The "I hope it's supposed to look like this" stages

It turned out....just okay.  I didn't drain enough water after cooking the macaroni and vegetables, and it was too runny.  Despite the fact that it's piled with bacon and cheese, I don't know if it's worth saving.  

Macaroni A La King

Cook 1 cup macaroni, 1 cup celery, 2 large onions in 1 qt. water for 10 minutes.  Leave water on that remains.  Make sauce of 4 T. butter, 4 T. Flour, 2 cups milk, salt, and pepper.  Add 1/2 cup undiluted tomato soup, 2 cups shredded cheese.  Put strips os bacon over top.  Bake 30 minutes 350 degrees.
