Good advice, if true!

Oh come on sf, you don't know what you are missing. Just ask DH how
many washrooms there are between point A and point B if I happen to eat
something with lactose in it

That's an interesting concept!

I was actually making a cheese souffle one day and the light went on. If I
didn't add the egg whites I could add noodles...
and thus my souffle phase evolved into my mac and cheese phase where I was
experimenting with cheeses and noodles and everything.

Someone should hire you to rate washrooms! Patches gives 3 patches to
the 76 station at the corner of 6ht and Main.

I bet she means dense. Lots of macaroni, just enough cheese to hold
it together - so you don't scoop it, you cut it.

That's how I read it - it can be cut into pieces that hold together. It
makes sense as Karen is an Aussie, and we use the term "slice" for the
sort of baked goods that you call "bars" in the US. Something that is
cooked in a shallow pan (like a swiss roll tin pr jelly roll tin in the
US) and cut into pieces would be a slice.

Try your usual recipe, but instead of cheddar, use Cheshire or
Gloucester cheese. it adds a wonderful cheesy tang.

I ade a cheese sauce with the stubsfrom New Years last week. I used
Emmenthaler, Jarlsberg, Havarti, and Fontina. My cheese sauce ended up
tasting like fondue! (Not a bad way to eat Mac&Cheese, but better used
like welsh rarebit, over toasted whole wheat bread with sliced tomato
and steamed broccoli.)

I like to use Cheshire cheese or Gloucester cheese instead of cheddar.
It gives it that extraq sharpness, rther than just acreamy gloppy
sauce.It really rtastes like CHEESE that way.

If I'm baking it, I'll use cheddar and deal with a mellower flavor, but
counterbalance it with buttered crumbs on top.

Adding a touch of yellow mustard to any cheese brings out a slight
tang..

Roux, white sauce, with mustard, garlic and a little hot sauce added,
lots of cheddar cheese. I bake it in the oven with buttered bread
crumbs and sometimes grated parmesan on top. Rarely do I add something
like peas or broccoli, mostly I serve it with a salad or other vegetable
along with the pasta.

Also, I don't think I would like the 2:1 ratio in the article. Ours
is probably more like 1:1.

Exactly... I put lots of eggs and cheese in it and they set the sauce
into a solid, especially once it cools down. You can eat it cold by
the slice for lunch...

btw, I made the 'traditional mac and cheese' and my husband liked it
but I found it very bland and boring! Too much pasta and not enough
sauce or flavour. Next time I'm going back to the veggies...

snipped for brevity

My problem tends to be with lactose only as far as I know. Lactaid

tablets help but I'm a non-druggie if at all possible. The worst part is
avoiding the hidden lactose as in gravy or salad dressing. I'm pretty
sure I don't have a problem with gluten.



Lactaid isn't a drug in any sense of the word - the tablets contain natural
lactase enzyme. You can buy lactase enzyme in health food stores.


Very true. Even better you can buy digestive enzymes in tablet form to
take 1/2 hr before eating. They include lactase and may help with other
digestive problems. I use lactaid milk at home. The soy milk doesn't
agree with me and apparently soy isn't as good for you as they once thought.


Soy 'milk' is absolutely hideous stuff... it gives me the world's
worst indigestion and nothing made with it tastes right. I tried it
for a few months and then went back to using cowsmilk, only
lactose-free... Bought myself a treat last week - I've been craving
dairy so I got a gallon of lactose-free milk and made myself some
tapioca pudding. Yum!

So far as I know I'm fine with gluten... it's just dairy that upsets
my system.
