I just cooked up some macaroni and fake cheese from my food storage. I think I'm from the only family in the world that despises this stuff. Yuck!
Or, perhaps I still don't know how to cook it.
We never had it growing up. After my first year of college I had to babysit some kids for a day and they were supposed to have macaroni and cheese for lunch. So, I cooked the noodles and poured in the fake cheese powder and mixed it only to find that it was still runny. I guess the directions said that you should drain the water first! How was I supposed to know that! I'm not sure why it didn't click with me, except that I didn't correlate it with spaghetti or anything because the noodles and cheese were always mixed together before I ate them and it just looked like a big slushy cheese/noodle mess.
After a few more boxes the noodles finally reached the right consistency. But, then there was a huge bowl of macaroni and cheese left to eat. The kids ate about 3-4 tablespoons each, I was too grossed out to have more than a bite and the rest was left for the family leftovers.
I'm sure they threw it out after I left....like I just did a minute ago after the first bite.

AH - my mom always made mac and cheese with SPAM - burnt. :) It was such a great treat after kindergarten.
So the other day, I figured I would buy Riley a one portion Mac and Cheese (microwavable).
He ate the obligatory tablespoon...and I must admit, I finished the rest. The smell lured me in...and I also found myself wanting some spam...or at least some bacon...
ha. That's great! I actually really liked well cooked SPAM. I might need to go buy some. I already have a bacon problem - love BLTs!
We never had mac and cheese either and the first time I made it, I did the exact thing you did! I prefer to make my own mac and cheese... much better.
