Recently on National Public Radio, I happened upon a broadcast which left me shaking my head. It was a feature about macaroni and cheese becoming a leading economic indicator.
The guest on the show being interviewed, albeit "tongue in cheek", was Robert Reich, economist and former member of the Clinton administration. It was being posited that a recent spike in the sales of boxed macaroni and cheese could well offer an insight into our current economic situation. Given gentle prodding, Mr Reich admitted to have enjoyed this delectable dish in the not so distant past. Could it be that Kraft Mac'n Cheese might be the predictor of a recession, or a sluggish economy?
My Kraft Mac'n Cheese:
Follow the package directions, BUT
while the pasta boils.
smash two fresh garlic wedges, and sautee garlic
in a pan with a diced white onion and 2 tbl. butter.
Then brown the hell out of 1.5 lbs ground beef.
Combine all with 1/2 cup cream (not milk) and enjoy!
