As for the mac n cheese, the Bajans take LOTS of pride in their "macaroni pie," but we make ours much like the Haitians and use evaporated milk, too! :) You make do with what you have!Brenhttp://www.flanboyanteats.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-86753754360917766512010-02-27T11:09:07.297-08:002010-02-27T11:09:07.297-08:00Mmm, is there anything more comforting than mac an...Mmm, is there anything more comforting than mac and cheese?NKPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04963976997563464573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567715590164266982.post-14539183957110592512010-02-27T10:45:08.605-08:002010-02-27T10:45:08.605-08:00A comforting dish!
