Comfort food

Mac n' cheese is one of those foods that is so simple, but can be so good. Last night we went to ES, and I got the mac n' cheese, which I hadn't had in over a year. Probably the best I've ever had. It was oozing with gruyere and studded with ham, topped with perfectly brown crunchy crumbs. It was even better at lunch today, and since I hadn't been drinking, I noticed the black pepper and bits of scallion throughout. I'm afraid I'll never be able to make mac n' cheese this good at home, because I'm incapable of using the requisite amount of butter, cheese and salt, then eating what I know is a total fat bomb. Unfortunately, I will also crave this dish, and be forced to order it frequently!
