Well, my brain and stomach have done it to me again.
Ham + Impulse cooking...
Stomach: "Hungry!"
Brain: "Food... what type?"
Stomach: "Hungry! Food now!"
Brain: "Well, lets surf around the DC forum and see what we can find..."
A half-hour (and something like twenty pages into this forum) later...
Brain: "Hmm... This mac and cheese looks good."
Stomach: "Boring... all pasta no meat."
Brain: "Lets see what we can do with it... meat-wise. Ham?"
Stomach: "YES!"
And so the great Mac-Ham-and-Cheese bake begins.
Well, I had some of the ingredients so I went to the store to get some... no shredded Munster (sliced, but no shredded), only shredded Monterey Jack was mixed with Colby. So what the hey, picked up the Jack and Colby, some mild and sharp cheddar and decided I'd alter the recipe a bit. So instead of 2 cups of the cheeses listed I chopped out the munster and replaced it with Colby (figuring that double helping of the Jack+Colby just about equaled one of each).
Only other alteration to the recipie was the addition of a half pound of diced ham with the rest of the stuff. Should be done in a little under 20 minutes as I type...
