I remember when my girls were little, they loved Kraft macaroni & cheese. One day remembering that awesome mac & cheese my mom used make, I decided to make it. Lots of cheese, buttered bread crumbs toasted on top. Looked delicious. My girls came in and said what is that & I said real macaroni and cheese. They said no it's not we don't want that. It looks nasty. LOL ;)
They liked the Kraft. So daddy and I ate good, ha ha.
Ya just never know what lies in our taste buds. :laugh:

I didn't like pizza until I was 20. After that and still now, I can eat it 3 times a day 7 days a week. LOL

And I could eat leftover cold spaghetti for breakfast. Although I do believe breakfast is a state of mind.:pepper2:

Funny, our daughter in law grew up on Kraft Mac and cheese, and turned her nose up at my wife's homemade. That was fifteen years ago, she has learned to eat a lot of things she didn't and has become a gourmet cook.

We use to have meetings once a year at a guys camp on the St Lawrence River.
On year an Armenian friend of the camp's owner agreed to cook for us. He made Armenian Kabobs stating in separate dishes that he marinated the meat and vegetables for 2 days. he made rolled grape leaves and wheat and rice cooked in chicken broth and a variety of desserts. wonderful meal

I like both the homemade style mac and cheese and especially the one served at Longhorn restaurants, and I like the Kraft box mac and cheese as well.:laugh:

Most people may find this hard to believe, buT a couple of the best dishes I ever had were prepared by the kitchen staff at one of the high schools where I coached. They made homemade yeast rolls once a week, and would give me an extra, which I would lather in commodity butter. Those were the best, fluffiest rolls I have ever eaten. They also made very creamy macaroni and cheese, with good commodity cheddar cheese which was to die for. Almost made it worth coaching and teaching for starvation wages.

Some of the best food in my memory was made by the German ladies who cooked at South High School in Columbus, Ohio. They made rolls and biscuits and killer soups; vegetable was my favorite, wonderful homemade ham salad sandwiches, chicken and noodles and some kind of peanutbutter/chocolate confection that would melt in your mouth. It was a big high school for the time, There was more than 350 in my graduating class. I worked as a checker in the lunch line and got my lunch free.

Yummy memories.

It all sounds so good, I enjoyed eating at my grandparents houses, all my grandmothers were great cooks. I grew up having great grands too. The chicken & dumplings, salty Smithfield ham, steak and gravy, yeast rolls, mashed potatoes, collard greens, and banana pudding. Need I go on, grew up in the South and have the appetite to prove it!! LOL. Those family memories with my grandparents mean more to me than words can say.

In other words, you're big on pizza.
