    Every woman I have ever dated is a boxed mac and cheese originalist. They want it according to manufacturer’s instructions, no doctoring. Eventually they would demand just once cook it the “proper” way.

    Well one time I handed them their bowl and then started dusting mine with curry powder. I could instantly hear what sounded like a puppy whimpering. It was her realizing that she had made a mistake and she also wanted curry mac.

      So all you do to Kraft Dinner (or whatever brand) is dust the top with curry powder?

      IMO it might be better to add the curry powder to the butter as you melt it, then add in the drained, al dente “macaroni”, let those noodles absorb some of that flavoured butter, then add the cheese powder, mix, and then add milk, and mix again.

      And you add nothing to it? You could mix in the green beans. A protein is good to mix in, too. If you’re a vegetarian, tofu might work, but I’m not one, so I don’t know. (IMO tofu is too spongey/squishy for my liking.) Sausage is good. Any sausage, but IMO andouille is best. Ground and well drained hot Italian sausage might work, too. But, I like making Kraft Dinner for children, with diced-up pork/chicken mixed (i.e. cheap) hot dogs in it. Some children need the diced hotdogs separate and not touching the macaroni, but most I’ve served it to are fine with it mixed in.

      Edit: for true Kraft Dinner purists, melt a slice of pepper jack on top, and stir it in. The Monterey Jack cheese is super melty, gives a contrast to the cheddar-flavoured powder, and the peppers add a little spice, but not too much.

            This is just a dusting on top because they wanted boring and I didn’t. So I distributed into the bowls and sprinkled the curry powder on top of mine. I prefer the sharper taste of raw curry powder to balance the creamy mac.

            There are all kinds of options. Like you could skip the butter and milk and use coconut milk with the curry mixed in.

            I love adding some real cheese to the mix. And sour cream instead of milk. But for that it’s best to use full strength elbow mac instead of the weak boxed stuff.

            Wife specifically requested the green beans be separate from the mac. I wanted to join them but it was a no-go.

            I haven’t had hotdogs in my mac since I was a child and the memory of boiled hotdog slices in it makes me sad. Maybe I could try and change it up. Cut the hotdogs into slices but cook them in the air fryer for that perfect crispy skin that air friers do on even the cheapest dogs. Then mix them in.

                          I’ve never had a complaint when making it according to directions, then shredding some old cheddar on top while it’s still warm and mixing that in! Lol

                            Did Cristiano Ronaldo make a video showing everyone how to play guitar? Because Gordon Ramsay made one of him making fried rice.

                              Edit: Come to think of it, I think the guy who messed up the fried rice was Jamie Oliver. Gordon Ramsay’s fried rice was actually okay.

                                Ramsay didn’t do good at the fried rice game. But Oliver is definitely the worst.

                                  Huh, I’ve never though of adding eggs to mac n’ cheese like that. I make a bechamel sauce for my stove top mac. I might try that one, though.

                                    You got it — air fryer is definitely the way to go. I never liked grilled hot dogs, thought it wasn’t much better than boiled and prone to burning (unbalanced heating — burned outside, undercooked inside). I know, it’s a skill issue. But air fryer makes it easier. And brings out more flavour.

                                      Ramsay didn’t do good at the fried rice game. But Oliver is definitely the worst.

                                      Ah, come on. Does the Uncle Roger seal of approval mean nothing to you?

                                        Every woman I have ever dated is a boxed mac and cheese originalist. They want it according to manufacturer’s instructions, no doctoring. Eventually they would demand just once cook it the “proper” way.

                                        Well one time I handed them their bowl and then started dusting mine with curry powder. I could instantly hear what sounded like a puppy whimpering. It was her realizing that she had made a mistake and she also wanted curry mac.

                                        Cost per person: $1.60

                                        That is the worst Mac and cheese I have ever seen. Brits make it better and from scratch.

                                        Fuck packet food.
