I love macaroni and cheese; it’s comforting and no matter how crappy your day was, it makes you feel whole inside. Wow, that’s a tall order! I’m totally picturing that commercial from the ‘80s when the guy comes home from work at night in a rain storm with the flu and his dog shows up with medicine around his collar (I’m officially old).
