Here's one of my favorite things to make:
Put a stick of butter and melt it in a fairly large saucepan on low to medium heat. Add flour until it is suitably saturated, but not firm. Add milk, but leave some space at the top of the pot. Stir it under the same heat until it thickens. Add your spices, I use thyme, basil and some oregano. Then add some cheese, I like parmesian. mozarella, and maybe some provolone. Add some salt to taste, and maybe some mushrooms and/or onions. If you're feeling really gourmet, throw in a bit of cognac. Then cook for a while. Serve on some pasta.
That's a typical recipe for me; if you're someone who likes measured ingredients, well, you're out of luck. But if you can make it, it's goo-ood.
