Macaroni and cheese was true penance in my family. Although as
Protestants we weren't required to eat it on Fridays during Lent, we
suffered nonetheless. Our macaroni and cheese was hard and dry. It
was made by interspersing cooked elbow macaroni in a casserole with
a few small slices of Colby cheese. A half-cup or so of milk was
poured over the top before it went into the oven. It must have been
a Presbyterian thing.
In adulthood, I have learned that macaroni and cheese is both
penance and pleasure. It is still penance to the many Catholics who
abstain from meat on Fridays during Lent. But it is a celebration
food for many African-Americans, who serve it at holiday feasts.
