Curried Seafood Bake

I'm not going to scan every recipe, but yesterday we got our printer/scanner/copier/fax working to be more than a printer. So I learned how to scan.

This recipe is Curried Seafood Bake, but curry powder is an optional ingredient. Do I buy some or leave it out? I left it out. So it will be a delicious Seafood Bake.

This recipe was more challenging than I expected:

'Stir in Flour' - I wonder how much? Do I make a roux? I don't really know what that is, but I'll pretend I know what I'm doing. I added about 1/2 cup flour. Not a bad call - I added the milk, and the sauce thickened nicely. http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,1655,136188-247197,00.html

When everything was mixed and ready to go into the casserole, I had to make an adjustment. There's way way way too much sauce for the amount of pasta. I cooked 2-3 more cups of macaroni and added it. Perfect.

Mixing the cracker crumbs & butter wasn't as easy as it sounds. I cut the butter into the crumbs and tried to mix them, but mostly I spread lumps of crumby butter across the top.

I love these casserole recipes because after they cook they can stay in the oven on warm until you're ready to eat. This was a delicious dinner with salad.

P.S. Obvioiusly, I changed my mind and I did scan every recipe I made into this blog.
