Hot Knives Mac and Cheese

Oh man, US Elections are so much more fun from the US! I was totally excited to try to stay up until 6 last week and watch how a close race played out in my home state of Virginia. I went to a local bar where they were broadcasting US news and serving pancakes all night long. However, by 3am I was pretty drunk and tired of standing around with Berlin's entire American and British population in a bar the size of my kitchen, straining for a peek at CNN. So instead I passed out "early" (ie, before any swing state came in) and the next morning while passing me the coffee my husband commented casually, "oh by the way, did you see Obama won?"

Aaaargh. Its a total drag trying to translate American pleasures to a foreign context.

But its ok. I'm already looking forward to coming home over the holidays and partaking in the most American, female, East Coast possible activity- going to see Les Mis in the theaters the day after Christmas (of COURSE.) And until then, I have vegan mac and cheese. Did you guys see that Hot Knives posted a to-die-for new mac and cheese recipe with BEER? This may just replace my standard Vegan Yum Yum version. With leeks and carrots on the side its comfort food for the absentee voter.

Election night was so intense I could hardly take it. I ended up drinking too much too.

Haha! I drank too much too! I was so stressed early on when Romney was leading in electoral college votes. So I had vodka and beer. And then when Obama won, we just HAD to have celebratory tequila shots. Right? Yea, I had a massive hangover at work the next day ...

What a coincidence, I made vegan mac 'n cheez the other day too (well, I used shells, actually.) I always make the sauce recipe from the Rice Dream cookbook because it's so easy and good. Then I sprinkled turmeric on top (in addition to smoked paprika) to try and mock Kraft. Speaking of voting, vote for a vegan!

Sort by "most popular" and find the one by Jill B. (it only has 13 votes because there is a lack of VEGAN VOTE going on, which is a shame.)
