Sue's Diner: Macaroni and Cheese with Bacon

This week's recipe is for a favorite dish in our household: macaroni and cheese with bacon.

The recipe is adapted from one I made from Whole Foods For The Whole Family, which was published by La Leche League International in 1981.

I found the cookbook in spring 1982 after my first child, Christopher, was born. I made the macaroni and cheese recipe for the first time that October and we have made it ever since.

It's since become our traditional main dish for Old Calendar Christmas (Julian Calendar Christmas on January 7), which is also Rebekah's birthday. And no matter how much bacon we add (last year we added twelve pounds), it's never enough for Christopher.

However, unlike most recipes on Sue's Diner, this recipe is not featured in the BryonySeries cookbook Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony," . 

That cookbook is a permanent fundraiser for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Will and Grundy Counties and features all the recipes referenced in the novel Bryony. 

You may try the recipe for macaroni and cheese with bacon on the Sue's Diner page on the BryonySeries website. 

But try the recipe this week. It will be gone some time next week. A new recipe will take it's place.

By the way, Sue's Diner is only real in the BryonySeries world. But didn't Timothy do a great job making the page look like a real menu at a vintage diner?

Here is the full diner page: bryonyseries.com/sue-s-diner. You can't really order, of course (wouldn't it be great if you could?).
