Some of the best cooks I know never quite turn out a dish exactly the same way twice. There is always a personal touch of love, hate and evolving taste over time especially when it comes to comfort dishes. Besides the best fried chicken I can ever remember, my Grandmother made the most incredible coconut cream pies with banana cream bringing up a close second. I have had people try to follow the exact recipe in my Grandmother's own hadwriting and even using lard like she did instead of vegetable shortening, but nothing has ever quite exactly hit the taste memory from her pies. Anyway, if anyone ever gripes about a future dish of mac & cheese you make, just send it my way overnight for a definitive taste test and rating :) Your mac & cheese looks perfect from this end of the internet.
