Mac and cheese

[Tink]

I'm not sure that is the case. I have an acquaintance that works in one of the huge kitchen set ups for Disney and he makes monstrous batches of Mickey shaped pasta mac and cheese. I was under the impression that WDW made all of it's own food, and didn't use other companies products.

I know I'm a minority, but I like wrapped plastic cheese.

John, that mac/cheese sounds so yummy!

[Tink]

Herself does too, foreverducky. She particularly likes it for certain things (toasted cheese, etc.) and She likes VELVEETA! She doesn't eat it much (I make that a little difficult ) but she does like it.

That's what I use it for too...and sometimes put it my salad. Also like Velveeta too. I make cheese soup with it.

I dont mean to be rude but I didnt like the Mac and Cheese in the States either. I love it made with strong cheddar and hot English mustard. It is just too mild tasting and the cheese doesnt taste of much. Oooops!

Apparently in Barbados they have macaroni pie... which is macaroni cheese with a Barbados sauce in it?... I gather it's a hot sauce of some kind, so looking forward to trying that. I cheat and make mine now with either ASDA or Sainsbury's ready made tubs of four cheese sauce (found by the fresh pasta section) and add whatever cheese I have in the fridge to it like parmesan and crumbled blue cheese and a spoonful of hot English mustard then grate cheese over it all and slices of tomato and course black pepper over it... yummy....

But pasta really fills me up quick now so I can only have a small cereal bowl of it at a time now... which is good I spose...

Well, I made a variation of mac and cheese for dinner yesterday. I wasn't pleased with the result, but those who ate it said it was good.

Helly I have to avoid pasta all together. It's a true weakness of mine and if I start, all sorts of 'out of control' eating comes into play. I'm teaching myself that it is a poison to me. I wonder if I'll ever get to the point where I believe that?

Tink, if the pasta problem is the carbs, try Dreamfields. It is a bit more expensive but has more digestible carbs and is recommended for diabetics.

I do enjoy wheat pasta. But only every once in a while.

[Tink]

I've tried Deamfields.

I use only whole wheat pasta, never semolina and or durham wheat anymore.

It doesn't help much, John. It still spikes the glucose (and since I don't use meds to control it, only diet, I have to be wicked careful) but moreso sets off those craving types of behaviors (eating beyond the point of satiety and being hungry within thirty minutes-all traceable back to the carb spiking).

It's also a psychological thing with me. Pasta is attached to all the warm fuzzies of my childhood...

Best avoided, at least at this point. Perhaps I'll get good enough at the combining of foods for glucose control to pair it with thing that don't cause such a spike in glucose (protiens, ect.). Then I'll only have to deal with the emotional constructs!

It is a good product for anyone though, John. Glucose spike is glucose spike regardless of whether someone is diabetic or not.
