Fried Macaroni and Cheese

Went to a Superbowl party last night where the theme was fried food. Meg and I thought it a good idea to fry macaroni and cheese ala Paula Dean, so after watching a quick three minute video on the food network we embarked on a journey to Walmart to get provisions and get in touch with our southern chef.

Now, Paula made it look easy and very delicious in that three minutes. It went something like this: Cook the macaroni, refrigerate it so it sets together, cut it in to squares that you will wrap in bacon and then bread it. We fried it in vegetable oil. It tastes well and good. What Paula failed to point out was that because the macaroni sets in the fridge, it forms a bit of a solid layer on the bottom thus trapping any residual oil from the fryer in it. What you end up with is breaded macaroni full of oil. Not so good once digestion ensues.

On the whole though it was a good day. The commercials were okay. I was mainly excited for Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen. That's gonna be great. The career builder commercial was good too on many levels. The game didn't go the way I would have liked, but I didn't really care anyway. It was a good game with some great plays and that's what matters I suppose. Now I get to hear everyone bitch about how long it's going to be until football is back again in September.

Random bit for the day. I guess when Flavor Flav has been on VH1 with whatever reality show he's doing he has had some of the highest ratings on network or cable TV. Really? What am I missing?
