melt the butter in a saucepan, add the flour till you have a paste. let it bubble, but not brown. add hot milk. stand there like a douchebag stirring the fucking shit while your family enjoys some brainless tv, till it boils. it will thicken as this happens. if you get chucks, use a wisk to beat them up. once the sauce boils, add the cheese and reduce the heat, so the cheese doesn't seize. i always use extra cheese. and i never have enough salt. i always think i put in enough, but it's never enough. so taste it. sprinkle in a dash of cayenne. cover with waxed paper while you prepare the macaroni, so it doesn't get a gross skin on the top.
