Mac & Cheese for Christmas Dinner?

That looks delicious and I have almost all the ingredients in my house right now! BF is visiting family out of state right now, but I will give this a whirl some time after he gets back. Thanks for this link!

During my first trip to NO as a working professional with money to spend in the early naughts, I went to his restaurant for dinner. The place didn’t look like much but the food was crazy good. That meal is still stuck in my head 20 years later and convinced me that NO as far as I am concerned is the best eating city in America.

Actually, the restaurant I’m referring to was opened around the late 80’s on National Blvd. in West Los Angeles…

and was beautiful…

He brought his restaurant to SF one summer; was really difficult to get in but I figured out a way, had crab, one of my best meals ever. His wife and rest of staff came and waited the tables. I still remember them saying if you need anything just ask any one of us.

That’s the right way to run things.

He was such a perfectionist; I just remembered … he thought the sweet potatoes here weren’t good enough so he flew in Beauregard ones from Louisiana. Once I saw that kind in a market, tried them, couldn’t see that they were better.

Sorry about that. I don’t usually see gift links for recipes.

Here’s a different one. I haven’t tried either yet.

That is so annoying; as if their recipes and articles are so proprietary. Do an online search and the recipe will show up, sometimes with a modified name.

If you google the recipe it should let you see it.
Sometimes. :wink:

I remember this happening before even with the gift link.
Article was free but the recipe wasn’t. :frowning:

Do you remember his Jalapeño Cheese Rolls? Yum!!!

Nope. This was all more than 35 years ago; it’s a wonder I remember any of it.

Have at 'em…

@bbqboy @small_h Yes, however, it IS possible to share gift links to recipes. They just make it rather difficult.
I have a workaround! I discovered it because when I save recipes, I like to copy the actual text, not just the link (all too often the link breaks/goes behind paywall later). You can’t copy text in the app.

So anyway:

  1. In your phone’s app settings (not the settings within the NYT Cooking app), change the default as shown:

  1. Now your browser will be the default for opening recipe links (the Cooking app won’t auto launch). Look for the “gift” icon at the recipe page:
