 This was fun, it took me longer to edit this than to cook and shoot.

******

Recipe:

Ingredients:
1 1/4 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (about 6 ounces)
1 cup 1% low-fat milk
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups (5 ounces) shredded reduced-fat sharp cheddar cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 (1 1/2-ounce) slice white bread
1 tablespoon butter, melted

Preparation:
- Cook pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain.
- Combine milk and flour in a medium saucepan, stirring with a whisk. Cook over medium heat 2 minutes or until thick, stirring constantly with a whisk. Add cheese, salt, and pepper, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Add pasta; toss to coat. Let stand 4 minutes.
- Place bread in a food processor, and pulse 10 times or until the crumbs measure 1 1/4 cups.
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add breadcrumbs, and cook 5 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Stir in melted butter; cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Sprinkle breadcrumb mixture over pasta mixture.

The shallow DOF really worked well here.
Congrats on the TT.

Nice shallow dof, but the in focus part looks over sharpened to me.

So creamy and delicious. I like the simple setup you chose, although the details don't seem to be sharp.
