Cooking

There are some dishes I've gotten pretty good at.

• scrapple, of course
• vegetarian lasagna with homemade pasta
• fisherman's stew
• meatloaf, which I made yesterday (half beef, half lamb, in this case)
• paella, though I haven't made it in a while, saffron being so expensive

However, one dish I never mastered, and I failed again yesterday, is mac and cheese. You'd think it would be easy! Mine never is as good as I can buy in a deli, usually on sale. But I keep trying.
