Everyone’s familiar with Easy Mac?
While I don’t endorse it as a healthy meal, it does come in handy as a quick fix. Rob and I got home last night and I put two packs in a bowl for us to split and put it in the microwave for however many minutes the instructions said. Rob and I got to talking about something so after the microwaved beeped, I waited a little longer before I opened the door. I grabbed the bowl and…HOLY CRAP WAS IT HOT!! Out of instict, my hands let go of the bowl and macaroni and water went flying everywhere. Especially on my leg and Rob’s foot. Yooow. First, we immediatedly put our appendages in the sink under water. Then, I grabbed some aloe for myself because Rob didn’t even want to touch his foot it was so raw. We got the mess cleaned up in the kitchen and decided to go with a kilbasa since it didn’t involve a microwave. As of today, Rob’s blisters are peeling and he’s gauzed up his foot. I have little blisters on my lower leg and foot but I’m not in any pain. I did learn a very valuable lesson. No more Easy Mac.

Yikes!!!!! Sorry to hear that, Ang. Microwave = bad…Delivery=good.
And they market that stuff to kids, as an easy, tasty meal.
My kids like the hamburger helper single packets but it really, really creeps me out. They contain hard little dehydrated chunks of hamburger(?).
They ought to market it to the parents, since they’re the ones who get the advantage of making a quick meal for the kiddies.
I find it funny that someone in the finer dining restaurant industry would make easy mac. Would that be [was] your secret indulgence food? Chef Kevin told me his. I won’t embarrass him by squealing.
That’s pretty much it. Actually, mac and cheese with peas and a glass of milk. Rob makes it when he knows I’m not feeling well. All this talk of pasta and now I’m going to have to make some sort of pasta for dinner.
