One of the answers was Macaroni &amp; Cheese.  I simply could not picture how melted cheese could coat macaroni nicely without curdling or getting partially lumpy or chewy.  Moving to the States, I was so thrilled to finally try Macaroni &amp; Cheese.  Yes, that one, the one that comes in a dark blue box with a picture of vivid orange macaroni.  I don&#8217;t deny that at that moment I did not know how to react, but after a few scoops, I loved it.  I still believe that orange powder that comes in a packet has something that&#8217;s mentally addicting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">With the love for instant Mac &amp; Cheese growing in me, I started making my home style Mac &amp; Cheese.  Observing tons of great food bloggers&#8217; and food web sites&#8217; recipes, and of course with errors and corrections, this is so far the best one of mine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">I put it in home made deep dish pizza and topped it off with <a href=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/?p=97\" target=\"_blank\">Basic Italian Tomato Sauce<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">Mac &amp; Bleu Cheese (Filling\/Topping for Pizza)<\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040211f.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-116\" title=\"040211f\" src=\"http:\/\/921mojo.com\/norikoburky\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/040211f.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"easyrecipe\">\n<table class=\"ERHDTable\" border=\"0\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><span class=\"item ERName\"><span class=\"fn\">Mac &amp; Bleu Cheese (Filling\/Topping for Pizza)<\/span><\/span><\/td>\n<td align=\"center\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"ERRatingOuter\" style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"ERRatingInner\" style=\"width: 0%;\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"review hreview-aggregate\"><span class=\"rating\"><span class=\"average\">#ratingval#<\/span> from <span class=\"count\">#reviews#<\/span> reviews<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<td class=\"ERHDPrint\" valign=\"top\">\n<div class=\"btnERPrint\" style=\"display: none;\">Print<a href=\"#printlink#\"><\/a><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Recipe Type: <span class=\"tag\">Main<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Author: <span class=\"author\">NorikoBurky<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Prep time: <span class=\"preptime\">5 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT5M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Cook time: <span class=\"cooktime\">15 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT15M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Total time: <span class=\"duration\">20 mins<span class=\"value-title\" title=\"PT20M\"> <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERHead\">Serves: <span class=\"yield\">4<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERSummary\"><span class=\"summary\">Hearty and fulfilling homemade macaroni &amp; cheese.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"ERIngredientsHeader\">Ingredients<\/div>\n<ul class=\"ingredients\">\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1 1\/2 cups uncooked macaroni<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2\/3 cup crumbled bleu cheese<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">2\/3 cup heavy cream<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">3\/4 cup sour cream<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/2tsp garlic paste<\/li>\n<li class=\"ingredient\">1\/4tsp black pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"ERInstructionsHeader\">Instructions<\/div>\n<div class=\"instructions\">\n<ol>\n<li class=\"instruction\">Cook macaroni to al dente according to the package instruction.
