this looks very yummy

Well, this looks different enough from the other Mac & "Cheese" recipes I have tried. I might just have to make this. I am on a mission to find one that is actually good.
I guess I was a pretty picky Macaroni and Cheese eater before, so I don't know why I bother trying to substitute.

I am a little weirded out about the soy sauce in this. Perhaps Bragg's instead, would make it more mild.

I made this for dinner tonight. It was very yummy! I put ketchup on top of mine b/c ketchup just makes everything great. It is tasty without the ketchup on top as well. I will definitely make this again.
