a real conversation that happened over sms with a real actual friend we know:
(us) we love cooking and baking with others!!!
Ooo me too even if I really only know how to make really good Mac and cheese lol
(us) we would enjoy doing that sometime
there are so much ways to cook it and they are all so good
Oohhh I know, i like making my Mac and cheese really creamy
(us) another one of our favorites is pierogi
its like running a little factory
One time we [friend with his family] put like three different types of meats (bacon, ham and I forgot the third one) into the mac and cheese and it’s really good
[…]
To make mine really creamy I usually add double the milk and butter, and also add sour cream lol
(us) oh like box mac and cheese? or a recipe you have
I usually use box Mac and cheese as a base and add more cheese too ofc
(us) we just usually make our own from ingredients hehe
we prefer big macaroni
I could 100% make mine from scratch but that fake artificial cheese is strangely just too good
for reference box mac and cheese is basically a bunch of tiny TINY ant size macaroni covered in starch with a packet of cheese POWDER in a box. to make:
boil the macaroni
remove the water
mix in cheese powder alongside milk and/or butter to specification
serve
it is as bland as it sounds, if not more, even with added seasoning etc. the only purpose for why manufacturers require milk/butter instead of adding milk powder themselves and just requiring for water to be added is consumers would be too suspicious otherwise. literally domesticated war rations… he is thankfully open to learning to cook other stuff with us at least, hopefully we can fix him :3

I will not take this box Mac n cheese slander. That neon orange cheese powder was my only source of happiness growing up. /s
My six year old will have your back in this battle.
