Making macaroni and cheese, and I just noticed that the proportions*, if you're doing half a box of pasta, are all twos:

2 tablespoons of butter

2 tablespoons of flour

2 cups of milk

2 cups of cheese**

Also, if your pasta is the regular, small elbow macaroni, half of the standard 1-pound box is about two cups!

(*Only valid for Illogical American Volume Units, void where prohibited.)

(**Obviously this is a starting point; once you get to two cups, measure with your heart.)

Maybe everybody else already knew this, but I've been looking it up every time?

Low potassium causes:
