Make the Mac and Cheese: In a pot of salted boiling water, cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside. Lightly grease a baking dish.

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Blend in the flour, salt, and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes. Slowly add the milk and half and half, stirring constantly, and cook over medium-low heat for a few minutes until the mixture has thickened like the consistency of gravy. Remove from heat and stir in ¾ of the shredded cheese, stirring just until melted.

Add the cooked macaroni noodles and toss to coat. Pour the pasta mixture into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top.

Bake for 15 - 20 minutes or until the cheese is melted on top.

Prepare the corn dogs according to the instructions on the package.

Mix together sparkling water ingredients. Serve over ice if desired.

Serve the corn dogs with mac and cheese and lemon sparkling water. Serve with choice of condiments.
