Bock Beer Macaroni and Cheese
You can blame Twitter for this one … While tweeting yesterday with @KerrygoldUSA we were discussing macaroni and cheese. Specifically, we were discussing the seasonality of the dish. Some folks apparently feel that macaroni and cheese is a cool weather dish … only. In my humble opinion, even if it is piping hot from the oven in the middle of August, macaroni and cheese is always a good idea. I will agree that some...
