Ready to hear the correlation between “genetic makeup” and first time making mac and cheese. :lol:
 
If he has never done it before, why should it matter?
Well it would matter which style of recipe he might favor.

He said he never made it before, not having never tasted it.

I Am SURE he has a style he prefers.

Delayed pics from yesterday. Went to my brother-in-law’s in Woodbridge. Don’t know how some of y’all deal with that NoVa traffic. I swear it gets backed up by Ocoquan every single time I go no matter day/time.

Anyways, his wife is half Peruvian and half Puerto Rican. Some of her fam was there so we definitely had some stuff that I don’t normally have at Thanksgiving like ceviche, arroz con gandules, and pernil. Coquito was hitting as always.

Consisted of turkey, oven roasted chicken, stuffing, yams, sweet potato, mashes potato, stewed pork, callalou, Mac & cheese, etc. Some other stuff not pictured like home made ice cream and cheesecake

Shockingly, my grandma cooked the majority of the food this time. I got two aunts, my mother, other grown women "aunts"/cousins and they only brought small things. So luckily I got to keep my ham at home while my mom brought hers :lol:

Haven’t watched but is it about the cartels attempting to force their way into the market?

Haven't watched the vid either but what you said is a possibility. I remember there was a time when taco shops were running out of avocados and limes. It was also expensive so the shops had to raise their prices.
