Why use boxed Mac and cheese as a base, though?

    Because it's dirt cheap and I'm hungover.

    Yesterday I grabbed a case of beer, a pack of cigarettes and some tinned fish and dedicated my day to cleaning and organizing my workshop. I fought until 5:30 in the morning and made tremendous progress.

    This was after I could see the surface of half of my work bench.

    I like your chest of drawers. It’s very cute.

    My partner and I are almost recovered from being horribly sick. We drank maybe nine or ten claws, did six shots of vodka, and… I’m not even sure what we did last night, other than it was fun. Definitely watched Wild at Heart, at least mostly, and watched Brutalmoose for a while.

    Today I have felt like I was dying all day. Food was impossible. Ended up ordering soup. The soup was good.

    The chest on the left? I made it out of some spare plywood from a job. It holds so many odds as ends and it didn't cost me a dime.

    I have a mild headache today but also body pain from standing for so many hours.

    Cheaper and far faster than making Mac and cheese from scratch is my bet.

    I dunno, I wouldn't think a cooking sub would consider making a mornay sauce and boiling some noodles to be a real heavy burden. As for the cost maybe? The cheese would be the most expensive component but I think it's probably worth the upgrade to go from powdered cheese to real cheese.

    Me replying: Sometimes it's the preparation outside the box. You noticed the additional ingredients and processes, right? Cooking is cooking.
