Hunger is what all species must satisfy. From the stomach growling, aroma-teasing and mouth-salivating reactions that are common from hunger, satisfaction comes from “Food”. However, it is no longer a simple form of necessity; “Food” is art. It now pleases not only hunger but also the eye, the palette and the soul while teasing and taming the darker and more sensual side of our conscience. Who says that you can't play with food?

Comfort Food 101: Mac n' Cheese.
Today was a day that I needed some comfort since the skies were gloomy and I was home alone. As I rummaged through all the cupboards and shelves looking for something to munch on, my eyes fell on a bag of elbow pasta and the idea resonated in my mind as if a choir of prepubescent boys were behind me, heavenly singing, "macaroniiiii and cheeeeeese." I got to work right away, bringing a pot of salted water to a boil and cooking the pasta to perfecto al dente. I drained the pasta in a coriander, and using the same pot I used to cook the pasta, I melted 2 tbsp margarine and added the cooked macaroni, stirring until evenly coated under low heat. I added around 1/4 cup milk, stirred then added approx. 1/4 cup of Parmesan. Seasoned with pepper and salt to taste, I added 1 tsp of chili powder for some heat. And voila, done.
