This song is actually a story about how when the times right in the night some people are still burning the midnight oil. Few actually understand what it means to burn the candle at both ends.

This is some written material over a dedicated beat.....the beat was me on a grand piano live recorded on an iphone. I layered a drum break, some indian chick singing and then BOOM! the magic happened.

JORGE_BURNS HOMEMADE ITALIAN MAC & CHEESE.

Note: This is an original (not) recipe straight from my cucina in the heartland of the rolling hills in the Puget Sound foot hills (again a lie). For years and years I sweated over a hot stove perfecting the right combination of ingredients and cook time to create a dish the entire family can enjoy. Below is the masterpiece I (Cooking Network) created:


INGREDIENTS
• 1 pound ziti rigate, penne rigate or cavatappi (ribbed, hollow corkscrews)
• 1 pound Italian bulk sweet sausage
• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (EVOO)
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3-4 cloves garlic, chopped
• 12 crimini mushrooms, sliced
• Salt and pepper
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 sack shredded Italian 4-cheese blend (10 ounces or 2 1/2 cups), available on dairy aisle
• 1 can diced tomatoes, drained well
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce, such as Tabasco brand (optional)
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese, a couple of handfuls

PREPARATION
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Salt water and cook pasta to a chewy al dente, about eight minutes.
In a nonstick skillet, brown and crumble the sausage. Drain cooked crumbles on paper towel-lined plate. Return pan to heat and add EVOO, butter, garlic and mushrooms. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Sauté 3-5 minutes, until mushrooms are lightly golden.
Pre-heat broiler to high.
To mushrooms, add flour and stir, cooking two minutes. Whisk in stock, then stir in cream. Bring cream to a bubble, then stir in two cups of 4-cheese blend. When cheese has melted into sauce, add tomatoes. When sauce comes to a bubble, remove from heat and adjust seasonings, adding hot sauce if desired.
Combine cheese sauce with sausage and pasta, transfer to baking dish, casserole or ovensafe serving platter. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup of 4-cheese blend and the grated parmesan over the top and brown under hot broiler.


SIDE NOTE FROM JORGE_BURNS

So, I actually cook the sausage on med-low heat….it takes longer, but I find it gets the grease out and doesn’t char the sausage too bad..you can definitely cook it at medium for a faster cook if you like….just my little side note. Also I never add hot sauce to this recipe (mainly because I love the kids, yeah!)….

Other than that I follow this recipe to a “T” and it usually always tastes great.
