Day Three

Today I attempted one of my favorite dishes to eat. It is called Macaroni Beshemel. It is a tasty concoction of cream, butter, meat and pasta. I have eaten it hundreds of times and finally I had the opportunity to watch a friend make it. It looked basic enough when I was watching her do it. I took two pages of notes on her recipe. She has been making it for so long she no longer uses a recipe.

We had some visitors over on Saturday so I chose to make it for them. It took about twice as long to make as my friend took. The end result was very tasty. It does not look the way it should really. I am not sure what needs to be changed in my version, maybe I needed to make the Beshemel sauce thinner. I know I needed more salt and pepper, but for first try, Darn good.

The kids are loving this new cooking. They enjoy rating it daily. The Macaroni got a 9. So far Benjamin likes Day one the best, and day two and three are tied at second. Jasmine likes Day three the best, then second and finally day one. I think the issue with Jasmine was that I combined green beans with the pork. She is not a big fan of vegetables. Any Ideas on how to make her like them more?

Tomorrow will me Chipotle honey tangerine glazed chicken.
