Poll of the Day > So i was making mac and cheese

(+) Yeah! (+)

Until I opened the cheese pack and realized the cheese had gone bad. So now I'm eating butter noodles.

What's dinner looking like for you?

Sushi

Unsure as of this moment. Is your name Abed? That guy loves buttered noodles.

---

Maybe cake. Haha. But really, Idk. I might get something. Not sure yet...
---

I had Chicken Pie, Potatoes and Peas with gravy.

That's actually how I learned of butter noodles.

I thought it was just butter and noodles, but you can also add a bit of parm and its quite good. Probably considerably lower in sodium as well.

I've thawed out a hot italian sausage and what was left of a jar of pasta sauce. I'll be cooking up the sausage and some veggies and adding the sauce to make a nicer sauce to have with some kind of pasta, though I'm not sure exactly which kind at the moment. This is after finishing off the chicken fajitas and beef and broccoli that we've been alternating between this week. Tomorrow will be either baked beans or a chicken and cabbage stir fry, depending on which I feel like making (probably beans, because the chicken needs time to thaw and might not be ready by tomorrow night).

Man, I could go for some mac & cheese right now. The deluxe kind, with the pouch of liquid cheese goo.

I should make that this week. Add some carrots, onions and curry.

It was onion gravy. I wouldn't add curry to that mix.

I've done it. It's delicious.

Curry Chicken Pie would be best with Chips(British duh!) and gravy for me. Still that sounds... interesting.

I think we are ordering pho. Woot!

---

All of these sound pretty good. Except for the sushi cause fuck seafood.

That's what kind it was. The cheese had separated and had fat globules on it.

---

i ate 3 strips of beef bacon and a small amount of hashbrowns, but that was more lunch. supper will probably be microwaved sausages or else I'll go get something.

---

I added crispy pork spring rolls to my order. Balling!

I wanted to order something, but I was to lazy to do it.

As soon as I told my spouse what happened they said 'ahh so it wasn't the powder kind'.

They prefer the deluxe kind too tbh.

So while the pasta was cooking, I heated up some olive oil in a fry pan, then sauteed some garlic & tomatoes, then added that to the pasta and cheese sauce along with some Parmesan.

Tomato and garlic make pasta so much better. Its like they were meant to be together.

I never saw that episode (i'm guessing of community), but I think I have posted before about my mac n cheese.

So you get a box of kraft mac n cheese, make the noodle, add butter then add and mix in grated parmesian till it sticks
to the noodles, also add pepper and garlic to taste.

Then after that once it has cooled a bit, you add about 1/4 to 1/2 the package of kraft cheese (I also don't make a whole box btw).

This prevents the kraft cheese frommelting although it still mixes in on everything. It's quite tasty, and as you mentioned probably healthier as well.

I have not had it in a long time though cause.....diabetic, but it was the only way I'd eat mac and cheese my whole life. I have no freaking clue how I figured it out as a kid, but I did.

It wasn't one episode. It was a reoccurring thing.

Got takeout from Dennys.

The "deluxe" type with the packets of cheese goo will eventually start to separate. It's not necessarily "bad", just the texture will be kind of gross.

---

You could always make your own cheese sauce. Make a roux, add milk to make a bechamel, then dump in whatever cheeses you want. It's really quite simple, though it does rely on having actual cheese available.

That's what I was thinking, how does orange cheese powder stuff in the sealed envelope go bad? Maybe he got it wet. It's about as easy to think of taco spice in a sealed envelope going bad. Or the flavor packs in ramen noodles.

we're ordering yakisoba again. can't get enough of that shit, ok?

I usually make it that way when baking it. I only had a small bit of parm, though, and I recently switched to almond milk. Sounds like the makings of a mediocre cheese sauce.

More like gross if you use almond milk in Mac and cheese.

Probably not. Real cheese is best cheese. Soy milk and cheese are disgusting.
