Today I really had a craving for macaroni and cheese. Usually I do the whole thing myself, make the béchamel sauce, grate the cheese, etc. But today, we didn't have any Cheddar cheese. Or milk. But in the back of the fridge, I had my emergency package of Trader Joe's Swiss Beer Fondue (this thing has an obscenely long shelf life so you can keep it in the fridge for months). Um, I'm not sure why TJ decided to do a fondue with Swiss beer — fondue is usually done with wine and kirsch — in addition, when was the last time you heard of Swiss beer? Swiss beer is hard to find even in Switzerland, so all in all, it's kinda weird. Well, the idea, that is — the Swiss Beer Fondue is actually pretty good.
To make the macaroni and cheese, I just smeared the thick goodness all over cooked conchiglie shells (the small ones) and put it in the oven. So how did it turn out? Pretty good. Nice boozy smell all over the house. Nice oozy cheese. Took care of my craving!
