So much macaroni

Tomorrow is my department's big soul food barbecue.

Despite the fact that I'm a Croatian, I still have to bring a dish to share. Joy. When the sign-up sheet came my way, I picked macaroni and cheese thinking it would be easy. I mean, come on now, it's all I ate in college.

I wasn't expecting anyone else to sign up for it as well, but they did. And this someone apparently has a kick-ass recipe for down home southern-style mac n' cheese. So I have competition. And in preparation for that, I turned to Patti LaBelle's Over the Rainbow Macaroni and Cheese recipe. Patti would never disappoint me.

Just look at the 3 pounds of carb goodness about to be smothered in six cups of four cheeses:

I do hope they like it.
