It was a lazy weekend and we were preparing dinner for guests, as they were invited for a grand dinner at our place. Meal we were preparing was traditional food that we had to eat at night. I was super hungry as I didn’t eat anything since morning because of being busy with cooking and other house chores. Therefore I decided to cook quick and heavy pasta, Mac & Cheese.
