In the "Things You Grew Up With" thread, some one mentioned Macaroni and Cheese. My mother made it from scratch, too. And my grandmother. And several of the neighbor ladies. It was always thick and yellow, with a powerful smell of cheese. And it always had a thick crust of browned cheese. As many times as I've described it to my wife (a foreigner, from New Jersey) she's never been able to duplicate it. Can anybody here tell me the secret? I miss it.
