Curried Mac Bake

So as anyone who cooks often knows, the way you learn is by making mistakes and experimenting. Today for lunch I experienced failure in more than one way.

My friend Nate was suppose to come over this afternoon, and being too poor to go out I decided to make lunch for when he was here. My Aunt had given me a Mac&Cheese cookbook for Christmas, and last night while looking through it I had found a recipe for 'Curried Mac Bake' being a fan of curry I decided to make it.
My first mistake was using honey-wheat bread instead of the called for sourdough to make a topping. My second was burning the topping.

In the end my curry tasted like burned bread and had a aftertaste of burned bread and curry which just did not taste good (I could barely finish a bowl for myself and I did not want to not eat any of it and waste a box of mac and cheese)

The other failure was that Nate had my address wrong and ended up a few miles away knocking on some other apartments door to be greeted by a large black man who did not know who 'JoDee' was. Poor Nate, at least he did not have to eat this terrible food >.<
