macaroni and cheese is hot this month (hee hee)

Do you do mac-n-cheese? If you're reading any mainstream food media this month, chances are, you do. Today's Seattle Times Food & Wine section has a cover feature on macaroni & cheese. They must have been reading The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which did a cute "blue" variety of the dish earlier this month. Or the New York Times, where "Crusty Macaroni & Cheese" has been a top-five most-emailed story for a solid week. (They also did creamy, it wasn't nearly so popular.) Everybody's doing it.

But I think it all (obviously) started here. Sarah Gim did her macaroni & cheese liveblogging on Christmas Day. And in early January, mainstream media goes mad for mac-n-cheese. Coincidence? You be the judge.

Ok, how about a little discussion here. Anyone think mac-n-cheese is very similar to a desert? Not to be a food hater or poo-poo'er but what do you have?

Noodles -- mostly empty carbs (except for the minor vitamin fortification)

Cheese -- Mostly fat

Butter -- Need I say more?

Minor amounts of various other items (herbs, salt...)

Is this really sugarless desert in disguise?

I know that, in the world of blogging, things go live the second people type them up, but every major print publication in the country is scheduled weeks, months, and in some cases, over a year in advance. (Sunset magazine, for one, is in the latter category.) Mac & cheese might be the current zeitgeist, by coincidence, but those newspapers have been working on those stories for weeks or months, unless I miss my guess.

Your comments: Aw... you include a picture -- yet make no mention -- of Marlena Spieler's new Mac & Cheese book! Her spicy Mac n' Cheese (from an earlier book) is freakin' marvellous.
