Macaroni and Cheese Bliss

I just made this macaroni and cheese.  It is to die for -- and probably would kill you if you ate it every day.

Ingredients:
8 oz. dry elbow macaroni
2 quarts boiling water
1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 cups shredded medium cheddar cheese
pinch garlic powder
pinch cayenne (optional, don't overdo this or the grandchildren won't like it. haha)

Boil the macaroni in salted water until really tender -- none of this al dente B.S.  I am talking comfort food here.   Drain the macaroni.
Return pan to low heat (if you don't have a gas stovetop, it will behoove you to put this on a different burner turned to low).
Add the butter, and gently toss into macaroni until it melts (if you use a stick, cut it up first).
Add the flour, and gently toss until macaroni is coated.
Mix sour cream and cream, pour into macaroni.
Add cheese, garlic and the potential cayenne, stir gently until cheese melts.
That's it.  Easy.  And soooo creamy delicious.  And do you really need a photo?  It looks like macaroni and cheese, right?
