<ul>
	<li><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Kimeee:</span></strong> "This is the best mac and cheese I've ever eaten.  I feel like I'm eating at an expensive restaurant."</li>
	<li><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Lauren</strong></span>, Kimeee's 19 year-old, helped herself to 3 servings.  What do you think?</li>
	<li><span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Little Michelle B:</strong></span> "This is the best mac and cheese EVER!  It tastes like it's from an expensive restaurant."</li>
	<li>(Yes, ladies, my credit card can attest that this is indeed the most expensive mac and cheese you've eaten.)</li>
	<li><strong><span style="color: #800000;">Corinniecakes aka World's Cutest Pregnant Woman:</span></strong> <em>(dramatically) </em>"There are no words."</li>
	<li>I caught <span style="color: #800000;"><strong>Britt</strong> </span>while she snuck back to kitchen later in the afternoon for a second helping.  "It's just so good.  I can't help myself."</li>
</ul>
The Secret to why it tastes so good.

	<li>4 cups of whole milk (the kind in the glass bottle at Whole Paycheck where the cream rises to the top)</li>

	<li>1/4 cup butter</li>
	<li>truffle oil</li>
	<li>truffle salt</li>

As God is my witness, I will never purchase ground nutmeg again!
