When we were in the local Lidl last week, the meat counters were practically wiped out especially the chicken. But if youve got chick, this from Food Wishes looks like a great, fast-to-put-together recipe:

As Im sure many have been, over the past weeks of teleworking Ive experienced periods of furious (and frustrating) work; and many slow hours where nothing was happening or could be done.
The oddball things that one becomes interested in, while sitting at home with hours to fill, are fascinating. I happened to find some posts to YouTube about Kennedy Steve, an air traffic controller with a humorous and droll approach to his job. I was intrigued by the language used in that profession, and by what it really takes to DO a job like this. The subject has filled hours for me over the past weeks and Ive never even traveled on a plane, and probably never will.
Heres a collection of his most humorous performances:

And here is the Wiki on him:

There are people like this, doing essential jobs every day, whom we depend upon; and we usually never know their names or anything about what they do.
I hope that everyone remains healthy and safe, while we work through this difficult time.

I accidentally ran across a mac-& -cheese recipe that I have used since and found it to be better than anything else I’ve done. It does involve having an Instant Pot. I have both an 8-quart and a 10-quart.
16 oz. package of elbow macaroni
6 cups either chicken broth or vegetable broth
1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
1/2 cup milk
3 cups shredded cheddar cheese
1 1/2 cups shredded Parmesan
1 package Boursin cheese or 6 oz. cream cheese
Put the macaroni into the Instant Pot. Pour the broth over the pasta, just barely covering it. Use a spoon to press down the macaroni. Lock the lid and set Manual Pressure Cook (low pressure on newer pots) for 6 minutes. When done, do a quick release.
Remove the lid and add the butter, stir into the cooked macaroni until the butter is mostly melted. Pour in the milk and give that a couple of stirs. Then, add the Parmesan and a cup of the cheddar. Stir until melted, then add the rest of the cheddar until melted, then add the Boursin or cream cheese, continuing to stir until completely mixed in. Serve immediately.

Oh, I like American Cheese in a grilled cheese sandwich like you used to get in a diner or a drugstore soda fountain counter.
And I just think all those bottled Alfredo sauces are chalky.
I remember singing that parody in school; but you’ve caused me to forget the lyrics we used.
I wonder if America’s Test Kitchen has an Alfredo sauce they recommend?
It’s kind of hard to find specific ATK recipes; they make you subscribe/sign-up to get the full text. They all show up like this:
http://www.americastestkitchen.com/recipes/2044-fettuccine-alfredo
But a lot of people post their recipes on their own websites, with the qualifier ‘adapted from’; and there are lots of videos extant on YouTube. You might just do a search.
I have some of the cookbooks from earlier seasons, but can’t recall whether they had an Alfredo. But I’m sure there are lots of recipes out there.
Thanks, but I’ve got recipes. I was thinking of their product tests.
I don’t remember them doing bottled Alfredo sauce; but a lot of those reviews are available on YouTube as well.
Love "Sous Vide Everything"
Also like "Sam the Cooking Guy"
And the BBQ Pit Boys...
I love this guy. I’ve been watching him for a long time, and only learned a few days ago that he died in late 2018. His lady and friends seem to be keeping his YouTube channel going:

Did not know he passed...
Thanks....bookmarked
That sounds good. But I don’t have an instant pot:( I’m sure it’s adaptable, though. :)
Classico brand.......Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce........is really good.
