Tried making a simple roux for mac and cheese and ended up with a chalky paste ball

I was at my mom's house in Cleveland last Sunday, and somehow I turned flour and butter into this stretchy, gross blob instead of a smooth sauce. I just microwaved some leftover pizza instead and called it a night. Anyone else ever get completely owned by a basic cooking step like this?

My last roux looked like wallpaper paste. So relatable.

Wallpaper paste at least you can hang wallpaper with it. Roux that thick you could probably patch drywall with it. Least you got a good arm workout stirring it.
