…was a macaroni and cheese day.

How do you make yours?

I start mine with a roux, and melt sharp cheddar into it. I use no salt butter and whole milk because nothing else works, and believe me, I’ve tried using less fatty stuff. It’s an exercise in futility.

I then pour the cheese sauce over cooked pasta and add maple ham.

I bake the sucker for 30 minutes and voila!

Sometimes I add panko or extra cheese on the top, but i didn’t feel like it today.

Quotable Arts by Evan Robertson / Obvious State

High quality giclée prints available at etsy. Distilling literary quotes from a handful of the masters down to a single graphic representation, Evan captures the raw concept of the sentence and makes it damn purty to look at as well.

EU Farmers’ Anger Spills Into Streets of Brussels - NYTimes.com:

Now that’s a protest!

BRUSSELS — After months of complaints by European dairy farmers angry over low prices, protesters in Brussels on Monday poured milk onto the streets, hurled eggs and other missiles, and started fires that filled the air with black smoke.

Police helicopters hovered overhead as hundreds of tractors — and some cattle — blockaded the area outside the European Union’s headquarters while agriculture ministers met in an emergency meeting.

The gathering of ministers, convened after pressure from France, failed to produce any breakthroughs apart from a decision to set up a committee to report on the dairy industry in June.

Monday’s protest was the latest by farmers who dumped around three million liters of milk on fields in Belgium last month.

“There’s a very serious crisis in the milk sector,” said the Swedish agriculture minister, Eskil Erlandsson, who headed Monday’s discussion. “We didn’t take any decisions today, but we identified areas where the future policy needs to concentrate on.”

The protest organizers, the European Milk Board, said that more than 1,000 tractors and 5,000 people took part on behalf of “more than 80,000 dairy farmers”.

The group said milk prices are below 75 percent of production costs. Another European farm union organization, Copa-Cogeca, says that milk prices have plummeted 30 percent in a year and that dairy producers will lose up to 14 billion euros before the end of the year if nothing is done.

Full Story here.

So why does this stuff happen? Why is it happening here in America, too? How many fewer dairy farmers are there now than there were 20 years ago? Why aren’t we paying these people a living wage?
