: eli's gluttony

so eli's has a new "specials" menu for the fall and there are some super yummy items on there. grilled cheese, soups (tomato, cream of brocolli, butternut squash bisque), and baked 5 cheese mac & cheese are my new favs. so t and i were in for our usual sunday meal and i ordered the mac & cheese not realizing the battle that was about ensue. this dish of tastiness offered up 1.5 lbs of baked mac & cheese...a pure gut buster! my body was running on empty from the cross race the day before and the 2 hour hike t and i went on earlier that day, so i knew i could make a serious dent in the dish. long story short, the mac & cheese was a-m-a-z-i-n-g and i housed all 1.5 pounds. i grossed t out and several of the eli's staff, but oh well...my belly was psyched! if anybody wants to go out to eat anytime soon, i'll meet you at eli's :)
