Name: Heather Hatt (heatherhatt@netscape.net) Brand: generic Utensil: spoon I eat Mac and Cheese for: lunch, dinner, midnight snack, and other Times eaten per week: 0-1 Special mac and cheese personal ritual: First you can never ever buy that stuff with non-powdered cheese. Powedered cheese is what makes macaroni and cheese itself, people! Now, after I have bought the right kind (sometimes I even buy it in a can...yuck) I boil water. Insert pasta and listen to the sound of unboiled pasta gliding against cardboard - especially when it reaches the end and "zzzzrrrrrrrrruuuuuuuuup!!" Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. After the macaronites are boiled, the water is drained directly into the sink. A few macs will escape, but it's their loss. Onto the cheese. Back in the pot from the collander the macaronites go. Cheese bag is violently ripped open (after gripping the top of the bag with thumb and forefinger and shaking to make sure no cheese will attack your face when ripped open). Pour a little into pot, then stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Pour a little, stir. Get your groove on, stir. Pour a little, stir. Then I turn around and exclaim, "What's that sound?" As I hear no reply, I continue to pour a little and stir. When that is complete, I put just a little itty bitty of milk into it. Milk completes the dish. If you add too much, it's like soup and it gets cold. But if you don't add enough, it's thick and chalky. I add no butter. What's the use? I like my macaronites to stick together. Then I eat them up after putting them into a bowl. Eating them in a bowl is the best way. Plates are for Macaronidiots. It's tough to scoop 'em all up that way! And that's the way I make my macaroni and cheese.

I always use 1 tablespoon of real butter (not margarine) and always use a little less milk than the standard 1/4 cup, otherwise the final product will have a runny consistency. I also boil the macaroni for only 8 minutes. Otherwise their is considerably less texture to the macaroni.

Name: Jenny (jwats@talk21.com) Date: Sun, 16 Jan 2000 17:33:51 -0000 Unsolicited testimony: Dear Ian, I was overjoyed to find your generic cheese and macaroni gallery. FANTASTIC ! I particularly liked those novelty shaped Turtle Macaroonies and their "enriched macaroni & cheese dinner" (enriched with what exactly?). And what about Good Day macaroni and cheese dinner and the intriguing "with other natural flavors". When I looked at your list of macaroni and cheese boxes, I could not believe how many you have in America. I have looked in supermarkets here to see if I could get some boxes of M&C to scan and send to you and have only found one so far ! Obviously us Scots prefer the home made variety ! (Like you say "It's as close to being a purely American food product as you can get.") I don't know if you actually like M&C yourself but a friend and I are always on the lookout for the finest M&C in all the land and so far the cafeterias onboard the Caledonian MacBrayne ferries to the Western Isles serve absolutely fantastic macaroni cheese and chips (french fries).Prizewinners indeed ! Your website is magic ! Jenny. Name: Kristin J. Halloran (khallora@smith.edu) Date: Wed, 12 Jan 2000 22:04:13 -0500 Brand: i love your page!!! its awesome. i was wondering if you had noticed that numbers 3, 5, 9 and 12 on your spoons from the right page have forks, and not spoons. i think that macaroni and cheese should always be eaten with a spoon, and i remember arguing with my mother constantly about it when i was little. and i looked at your complete list really quickly, but im amazed at all the different varieties of kraft!! kraft plain old original is my ultimate favorite, but i havent tried all the varieties on your page. Ingredients added: sometimes when i am at home and there is leftover kielbasa or ham in the refrigerator i will add that, or sometimes hot dogs, but all of that needs to get put in the microwave first. but i would never add anything that changes the taste of the cheese, like ketchup or barbecue sauce. never. parsley...that seems to me to make it look like real food, and i guess that for me its a comfort food, so i dont do that either. thats about all that i will add to it. Special mac and cheese personal ritual: i ALWAYS drink milk with macaroni and cheese. never soda. actually, a funny story about macaroni and cheese: when i was in highschool, my friend brenna and i used to eat macaroni and cheese ALL the time. on a day when we had a half day for some reason, brenna and i and our respective boyfriends, matt and rob, were all at my house and we were debating whether we should go out for lunch or not, but brenna and i decided to make macaroni and cheese. we thought about this, and decided that most of the time, we are each capable of eating an entire box of macaroni and cheese, so we should make four boxes. now, if we followed the directions on the box, that would be 24 cups of water, so its a good thing that we never do. but we went and got four boxes of macaroni and the biggest pot in my house--the one we use for cooking mashed potatoes on thanksgiving; its a BIG pot--and cook the macaroni. it really was an incredible amount of macaroni and cheese. now, matt and rob always always always drink pepsi and surge, but when we tell them to just find some in the refrigerator, they say, "no, we have to have milk with macaroni and cheese!!" so that also proves my point about the macaroni and cheese. even now at school, i always have milk with my macaroni and cheese. Do you follow directions on box?: i watch the macaroni, most of the time, and im one of those people who stir a lot because i dont like when the macaroni sticks to the pot. and when im at school, and im boiling the macaroni in my hotpot, it always boils over. so i have to watch it so that i can unplug the hotpot as soon as it gets to the top, and then plug it back in again, and repeat and repeat this. and then i use the cover to strain the water out. my old hotpot, that i had last year, didnt have a cover, as it was my mothers hotpot when she was in college, but it died, probably because it was pretty old and i got a new one with a cover. but i have never used the cover. im extremely impatient. i take one macaroni out of the pot about every 30 seconds or so and taste it, usually burning my fingers and mouth in the process. i always want it to be done faster. i dont even know how long it says to cook it for. when we cook it at school in the microwave, like when we make more than one box and it wont fit in the hotpot, we read the directions, but the microwave directions are a pain, cause you have to stir every two minutes or something, which involves going back to your room and listening for the microwave (in the kitchenette, cause we cant have microwaves in our rooms) to beep and then going to stir it etc. etc. but i have been making macaroni and cheese for long enough that i dont read the directions anymore. so i just taste it until its cooked enough for me. Comments: when i was little my mom always let me put the cheese in myself. that was when i couldnt see over the top of the stove. and it was the first real meal i learned how to cook myself, except for straining the water out. i always needed someone else to do that for me. thats about it. whenever dinner is not good here, my friend adele and i eat macaroni and cheese. we LOVE it. our friend sharon likes kraft easy mac, but thats cause she is lazy and doesnt know that the quality of real macaroni and cheese takes a little bit more work. :-) i still eat it when i go home too. im kind of worried about going out into the real world...im afraid i wont eat real food, but just macaroni and cheese. so those are most of my macaroni and cheese stories. if you have never made four boxes of macaroni and cheese at once, i recommend having some people over and trying it, because its astounding how much cheese powder it is. but thats about it.
