Gosh, good for you! Banks are almost never wrong. What a great story. I would miss showers more than any oven. My burners are working fine- just the oven is broken. It is an old stove (almost 9 years/builders grade) and not worth fixing according to our repairman. I make mac and cheese with a combination of veleveeta, chedder and whole milk or cream. You also use one or two eggs depending on the size of the dish. Beat the egg into the milk or cream. I use low carb noodles which you can't tell the difference from high carb pasta (muellers is good and this kind in a black box is very good also). I cook it on medium-not high and stir every ten minutes, and it turns out well. I mix ricotta with mozzarella and parmesan, cooked noodles and classico's four cheese sauce. I sprink mozzarella on top and parmesan at the end. I cook it for about 20 minutes on medium. It is very good and easy.
Thanks for the tips - I may just have to try it!!!! I've never used egg in my mac and cheese - then again I've only made the sauce on top of the stove. I make a butter/flour roux and then start adding milk and cheese......cheddar, jack, blue, mozzerella, whatever I've got on hand. Then stick it in the oven. If I'm going to use a processed cheesed I use cheezwhiz, not velveeta, hate that stuff-too much of it as a kid!
As for the bank being wrong - I had a block on my account for a certain firm and the bank ignored it and pulled a large, totally unauthorized, amount out of the account - thus bouncing everything else I had written. I don't know if the bank wound up paying the gas company all of the fees and reconnect charges, but I sure know I didn't.
