So last night I tried to recreate a smashing success i had making homemade mac and cheese. It was a disaster. The first time I had a wonderful creamy cheese sauce, and last night I tried to make it again but using all non-fat ingredients. While it did taste pretty good, it had a weird gritty consistency which was just not at all pleasant. I am not sure how or why this was the case, all I can think is that because all of the ingredients were fat free the lack of fat caused the grittiness. That or I overcooked the roux. The grilled Italian sausage was delish though, so at least we did not go hungry.
I have also decided that I will also be including trips to various restaurants in my blog, so for those of you that live in or near Erie, you will get the average guy's opinion of local eateries as well as my own successes and failures in the kitchen. I believe our first stop will be Ricardo's on East Lake Rd. here in Erie. I have been driving by it for years but never stopped in, so we will be visiting it next payday! That is all for now! See you soon!
