Macaroni and Cheese

[artdutra04]

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.

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

In Canada it's called Kraft Dinner.

No Kraft or any boxed stuff, home made FTW.

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

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.

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.

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

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...

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.
