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


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
