Kraft seems to have mastered the macaronization process, though. I am in FULL agreement with you on the macaroni dilemma, though I hate to be a brand whore.

I like to find it when it's on like a 39-cents-a-box sale then make it without any butter or milk. Even better if you make it without using any measuring cups. And then eat it right out of the pot. It's like a survivalist fantasy for city folk. I think the only thing that might be better would be if I could get a hold of some of those boxed cereals like you get at hotels where the box converts into a bowl for your milk. (That exists, right?) I think those are the only things we'll be able to eat when the nuclear holocaust comes -- what are the chances of still having luxuries like bowls and measuring cups?

“…Kraft Cheese and Macaroni. Part of a well balanced meal.”

That whole "without butter or milk" thing might be a little too exiguous for me. However, I do have a little recipe we used to make called Stoner Surprise for some reason (I have no idea why, so don't ask). Anyway, you make the macaroni noodles like normal, only two minutes before they're finished boiling, you throw in a pack of your favorite Ramen noodles and mix them around. After draining, continue to make macaroni as normal, but throw in the Ramen packet too. Yeah, we were some sick mothers. Hmmmm.

It seems that in his haste to begin prepare the mac and cheese, he failed to account for all required ingredients. The ingredient he was missing was milk. Now whether he was out of milk because he had conumed the last bit himself or he'd let it spoil in the refrigerator, I can't recall. And neither scenario would surprise me. Anyway being the rational thoughful person that he was (and hungry without other food options), he reasoned since butter and milk were both dairy products, one could be a rough substitute for the other. I believe he doubled the required butter and offset it with a little water and called it done. It might be the greasiest Mac and Cheese ever made.
