“comfort food” is assuredly the right category for my mother’s homemade mac-n-cheese recipe.

I made this by rummaging through the fridge for ingredients, approximating from two cookbooks, messing it up once (in this really embarrassing way that only I could do, so don’t worry - ‘tis foolproof for others), and trying, trying again. Takes about an hour to an hour and a half and is delicious.

Baked Potato

Yeah, I know what you’re saying…a recipe for a baked potato? This recipe isn’t so much as a set of cooking instructions as it is a form of baked potato advocacy. People mess up baked potatoes all the time—I know, I was one of them. DO NOT microwave your baked potato. You are, in effect, steaming it. A real baked potato has to be done in a fire or in an oven, and it has to have crispy skin and creamy insides (you’ll never achieve either of these in a microwave). There are numerous variations on the baked potato recipe; I’m hoping some of you offer your renditions in the comments.
