What a week %$#@!

Lets see..My wife is in the hospital in Charlotte, my middle son just bunged up his knee at a baseball game and my legs are swollen to the point I cant walk. Other than that this weeks a cakewalk !!! I need comforting and the easiest(and most legal) way of doing that is FOOD!!! Mac and cheese has always been that for me. If any one of your reach for the boxed kind....I will never forgive you.This is a very simple,easy to make recipe.You get to learn how to make one of the 4 "mother" sauces. A very nice white sauce (we here in Dixie call it "Gravy") that can become a gumbo roux, a cheese sauce and tons of other good eats ! Im gonna make this for the Wifey when she returns from surgery. I know she loves it. I miss her soooo bad and wish it was the day she was coming home.

Million Dollar Mac and Cheese
1 pound macaroni (ziti works well too)
1 8oz of white sharp cheddar (shredded)
1 8oz mild yellow cheddar(ditto)
1 8oz cream cheese
1 pint of heavy cream (do not sub milk,as it will be 1/2 million dollar mac and cheese)
1 egg beaten (till it screams like a lil' girl)
1/2 cup flour
1 stick butter
1 cup unflavored bread crumbs
salt and pepper
hot sauce

Boil pasta in salted water until tender , drain and keep warm
melt butter in a heavy sauce pan
add flour and whisk like mad for 4 minutes
add heavy cream and continue to whisk
add cream cheese small chunks at a time
return to boil
add all cheese and whisk till smooth
sauce will thicken as it comes to a boil, a a little more milk or cream if it gets too thick
slowly add egg and stir
taste
add salt and black pepper to taste
5 to 6 drops hot sauce and whisk somemo'
Now combine cheese sauce to pasta in a buttered baking dish
melt second stick of butter
add to bread crumbs and stir till all are coated
place buttered bread crumbs over top of pasta
bake at 350 till top is brown and cheese be bub-bub-bubbling!!
