"My mothers menu consisted of two choices... Take it or Leave it"*
This was kinda like my house! And you know what? I never opted for the second choice, not one day in my life...
My Moms Macaroni...You'll need
500gms fresh pasta shells
Tbsp of Plain flour
Large knob of butter
100 gms Grated Cheddar
100gms Grated Gruyere
250mls Milk
1 Tin of Tuna
4 Eggs (Soft boiled)
1 pkt of Cheese and Onion crisps...
Method
Cook your pasta (I cook the eggs in this same pot) and put aside, then in the same pot melt the butter and add the flour to make a thick paste. Add the milk and stir, adding the cheese in bits and pieces until you have a thick creamy cheese sauce. Throw in the pasta, the tuna and season to taste.
Serve with the eggs on the side and covered with crushed Cheese and onion crisps... Oh and a large glass of milk... there, really, is nothing like this combination...

If your mum's cooking is anything like your own than I don't think I would leave it either!!
That looks so good! Nothing beats comfort food, and the best comfort food is the recipes we grew up with.
I miss cheese and onion crisps...
I love the combo, Lisa -
Looks fantastic. And Michelle is right. There's nothing like comfort food.
