Imagine my surprise when I find your video tonight... and guess what I just made for supper! Baked mac & cheese! I've been making it for about 50 years. I'm always switching it around a little bit, but it's mostly the same basic recipe as you made. Our family loves it!
A couple of questions in the interest of clarification. How come you recommend using a wooden spoon to test the consistency of the gravy but you used a metal spoon? and Where exactly can you buy je nais sais quoi? You mentioned it in your video but my grocer has no idea where to buy it.
When introduced to high temperatures, metal spoons can get really hot. Plastic spoons can begin to melt. Wooden spoons don't conduct heat so you can stir until your heart's content without fear of the handle heating up. It's one of those instances of do as I say not as I do LOL. In French, je ne sais quoi literally means "I don't know what." It's used to capture an indescribable, special distinguishing feature, or to name some unnamable quality.
Yummy! Macaroni and Gruyere cheese - delicious!
