After dozens -- make that hundreds -- of replies, Bottoms logged back on for a light-hearted defense of her skills in the kitchen.

“Lol...For the shady none cooking crew, add more cheese a few minutes at the end & then mix it up to make it juicy. Trust, nothing dry here,” she wrote.

And if her word wasn’t enough, Bottoms said her mother also confirmed it. Yes, the dish did look a little dry, mom said, but it turned out great. She wouldn’t have allowed it on the dinner table if it hadn’t.

But the mayor didn’t get off without a scolding. “That’s what you get for posting,” her mom reportedly said.

Cracking me up. My mama said, “Oooh, it does look dry, but it wasn’t. That’s what you get for posting.” 😂 She’d be the first to toss it. https://t.co/SNOybateWC — Keisha Lance Bottoms (@KeishaBottoms) December 25, 2018

Update:

Mayor Bottoms' said on Twitter that the great mac and cheese debate has been the funniest thing that happened to her this year. And she posted a new video of her mother laughing hysterically at all the replies to the original photo.
