Last week I saw this picture going around on social media. It,
more than anything else, has summed up 2024 for me thus far. I don’t think I
have ever experienced such consistently dismal weather, or such a lengthy,
personal funk as I have this past month. I don’t know how it’s been for the
rest of you, but I am really looking forward to spring, or, at the very least,
putting January behind me.
The other day I was embracing my funk, spending most of it just wandering
aimlessly around the house, stopping occasionally to stare out a window. I had
no idea what I was going to fix for dinner, and frankly I didn’t care. What I
did know was that I needed to eat, and I wanted something that was the absolute
apex of comfort. I happened to be scrolling through Facebook and came upon a
posting by Kevin from Closet Kitchen that featured this recipe. I had never
heard of macaroni and cheese soup, but I was 100% on board.
With a rerun of Midsomer Murders playing in the background, I put this together
and enjoyed it for a late supper. I have to tell you that this improved my
entire day.
