It had to be done.  Had to.

Last week I was talking to my friend Alyssa (the blogger behind the fabulous blog Everyday Maven); Ramadan was about to end, and she and I were discussing food.  (Because really, during Ramadan sometimes food is the only thing you can think of.)  So, anyway, I told her Ramadan was ending in a couple days and she said I should enjoy my favorite foods for a week straight.  (See how awesome she is?  Truly a girl after my own heart.)  She said if she were me, she’d be making mac and cheese.
