Crack ‘n’ Cheese
22 Feb
Hey Rhett,
As my father was fond of saying, you don’t need my help to make you look like an asshole. You do a fine job on your own.
Though I can’t say I share your fear of sushi, for many years I did. I learned the hard way that this is one food you probably don’t want to buy from the cheap bin at the Superstore. Cold raw fish is a little less sketchy when prepared at the hands of a master chef. Cold macaroni, on the other hand (even when expertly prepared) will never be truly enjoyable. This is the takeaway from today’s lunch.
The problem was that I made an obscene amount of homemade mac ‘n’ cheese on Sunday night. I ended up bringing in a huge Tupperware container that contained more than enough food for today’s lunch and the next day’s. But it seemed like kind of a hassle to try and track down a bowl I could scoop half of the pasta into for microwaving purposes. And as I’ve previously mentioned, the weakness of the office microwaves meant nuking the whole amount would be both a waste of time and a source of anxiety for me. My solution? I took it to my desk and ate it one congealed cheese clump at a time.
There’s still plenty left for tomorrow. I may reheat it then.
Best,
Brendan
