Re: Macaroni and Cheese

I don't like sporks. They remind me too much of elementary school cafeterias with budgets so tight, they can't even stock separate spoons and forks.

And they remind me of that one kid, the one that would always eat all the paste in kindergarten with them. There'd never be enough paste left over for all the arts and crafts projects, and being in kindergarten, we had not yet masted the art of Elmer's white glue and magic markers on the same construction paper.

Were they Ramen noodles or mush-that-used-to-be-noodles?

Either way, leave it to the Japanese to find the best way to cook Ramen. :yikes:

That's a very cool video. I think we should add a Rube Goldberg component to our competitions... :yikes:

Re: Macaroni and Cheese

In Canada it's called Kraft Dinner.

Re: Macaroni and Cheese

No Kraft or any boxed stuff, home made FTW.

Heavy whipping cream + shredded sharp cheddar + pepper + elbow pasta = amazing

Re: Macaroni and Cheese

The good stuff is known as "Mommy Mac-n-cheese" at our house, but even I get that craving for the orange version. You can buy the powder in bulk in some places (ours comes from a Mennonite run store) and that with basic elbows makes a good Kraft imitation. And I eat it with a spoon.

After it was done cooking it looked like a pile of meatloaf with mold all over it, but I got past that, ate it and it tasted great and I'm willing to bet it looked like any other meatloaf (red ketchup, purple ketchup, green ketchup, or even with blue ketchup) when it was being digested.

We did the same thing - once - never again. We had this bottle of Green catsup, no one would eat it, so I tried to use it up in a meatloaf. Big mistake! I could not believe how green the catsup made the meatloaf! It was very difficult to eat because or the appearance. :eek:

What is this Annie's? Pre-made? In a box? Frozen? :confused:

Re: Macaroni and Cheese

I definitely prefer to eat anything that I can with a fork instead of a spoon, using the latter almost exclusively for cereal.

Also, I think that the spork would become extinct if it wern't such a funny word. Honestly, a combination of a fork and a spoon with the functionality of neither...

Re: Macaroni and Cheese

I will confess that I have adapted to eating mac n cheese with a spoon. I took a month-long backpack trip this summer and only brought a spoon as my utensil (I also had a pocket knife for knifey things). It worked splendidly.
