Let me preface this by saying I'm not a fatty, which I'm sure a lot you will proclaim when I describe this, um, dish. There are pictures of me on the board here, so just look around if you don't believe me.
Anyway, yesterday I was off work sick. I had been loafing around like a piece of crap all morning, catching up on Lost (damn, what a fine show and a great finale. I swear it got a little dusty in my house when Juliet was barely hanging on to Sawyer there) when I guess the 2 cups of coffee and the bowl of granola I'd had at 4:30 AM had started to wear off, sometime around 11:30 AM.
So I lumber into the kitchen, grumbling like a bear that has just come out of hibernation and probably smelling like one too at that point. Unfortunately, I had not been to the grocery store in several days as I'd been eating out most nights, so the kitchen was bare.
After rummaging around and finding 2 of the most disgusting sounding cans of soup I've ever seen (Cream of Scottish Smoked Salmon and Stilton & White Port; how the hell did these end up in my cupboard? Who the hell would honestly think canning these god-awful concoctions and selling them to the masses would be a good idea?) I stumbled upon a box of Kraft Dinner, which I didn't even know I had, but in my current state was so excited to see it, it was like the time I was 13 years-old, alone at my Grandpas house and discovered the pile of nudie mags under his bed! Jackpot! Of course those mags were all from the 70's and 80's, so it was like foraging through the African jungle there was so much bush, but at 13 I was brave and healthy, so I was ready for the expedition!
Of course I was not content with mere KD, I needed to add other stuff, but with kitchen in its current state, I had no idea what. I ended up just picking all of the random things I had lying around and chucking it together.
So here we go:
Make KD as per boxes instructions
Mix in 2 tablespoons of cream cheese
One can of diced tomato
Tabasco (about a 1/2 tsp.)
Garlic powder (as much as you like)
Worcestershire sauce (a couple of tsp.)
Lots of ground black pepper
Throw this mixture into a casserole dish and top with crushed up potato chips (I had a partial bag of Wavy Lays, so that's what I used, but anything crunchy like that would work).
Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes until bubbling.
So that's KT's ghetto mac & cheese casserole, when he hasn't been grocery shopping for over a week. I have to admit I was nervous going into that first bite, but I ended up eating 2 bowls full! So yummy!
Anmway, tonight I'm off to the grocery store so I can get some actual fruits and vegetables.
Cliffs:
1. I'm lazy and I don't go grocery shopping often enough.
