Mac+Cheese+Tomatoes

The tomatoes are really just an after thought so you can hold on to an itty-bitty morsel of whatever diet you think you are trying to stick to this week. My seventeen-year-old-self would murder my twenty-two-year-old-self for eating this. Bring it on. It was pretty great.
As someone who has held on pretty strongly to weight standards and ideals over time, it's hard to imagine that I now have no reserves about creating (and eating) a vat of mac that has over 4 cups of cheese and 2 cups of milk in it. There is a rue involved, if there is anyone else out there like me that can't seem to get them right. Stir in the cheese and the pasta and bam! All done. We cut up some delicious garlic ciabatta and put it over the top with some more cheese. Then we ate it with blueberry-vinegar marinated pork tenderloin that ruined my baking pan but was otherwise incredible.
