That’s a crianza, no? I’ll have to look for it, assuming it’s exported to this continent.

I think that (i.e., all three items) may be the dish (possibly served for Frühstück?) I was asking about upthread, a month or so ago.

And now, tonight’s chow:

Easy one-pot mac’n’cheese

  1. Bring 5 cups of milk to a simmer (on med. or med.-high)
  2. Boil 1 pound macaroni in the milk for about 10 minutes (yes, longer than the box says)
  3. Remove the pot from the heat
  4. Cut up a stick of butter into the pot
  5. Gradually stir in 2 cups of shredded sharp, sharper, or sharpest cheddar
  6. Season with salt, pepper, and/or Tony Chachere’s
  7. Serve
  8. Scour the milk stuck to the bottom of the pot, because you boiled milk. You know better than that.

I think something like this has been posted before (maybe on another thread). Adapted from here which is chock full o’ javascripts.

EDIT: I don’t think it makes for good leftovers; when it cools off the sauce decoagulate(?). (Same with Alfredo sauce.) But out-of-the-pot, it was quite good. I’ll probably go back to my ususal routine.
