It’s like this moment was made for my boyfriend.

This is by far the best news I’ve heard in a long while. Well done, Portugal.

I really don’t fucking get those people. Yeah, Stalin was awful, but communism isn’t. It seems like they don’t really know what they’re angry at. China? 🤷‍♀️

Peas suck

We’re dumb and very deserving of ridicule, but let me correct you anyway.

Macaroni and Cheese was introduced to the US by James Hemings, a man enslaved by Thomas Jefferson (our 3rd president), after returning from Italy, where he learned how to do pasta stuff because Tommy just loved noods.

So, yeah. Slavery.

I love dried egg noodles. Please, sir, can I have some more?

YES.

Growing up poor is fun. Very similar to what we called tuna casserole.

1. Box of elbow macaroni, cooked
2. Can of cream of mushroom soup
3. Can of tuna, drained
4. Can of peas, drained

Dump. Mix. Consume.

I’m still poor, but I don’t eat that shit.

I dunno what Christmas rice is, but raisins are so much better in savory applications than sweet.

Inquiring minds wants to know

I like food. I like memes. I don’t hate this.

People hate raisins because they’re not chocolate. I enjoy G.O.R.P. on occasion, but I don’t eat trail mix for the raisins. I leave most of them behind. They can be a bit much. Ratio of anything to raisin needs to be right. One raisin to five to ten of anything else, otherwise they’re just overwhelming.

Olives, on the other hand, are fucking delicious. Hell yeah. Bathe me in their brine-rich kisses.

It’s only a matter of time :(

Help

Yeah, totally. I’ve had cheese that was aged in raisins. Fruit and cheese are friends.

I’m very selective about my raisin eating. I don’t tend to like them in desserts, but love them in savory dishes. A lot of cuisines utilize raisins in this manner - North Africa and Mexico immediately come to mind.

I think the issue here is ultimately about texture more than flavor. I don’t want a chewy raisin in a rich, melty sauce. They’re good in kugel, which are also made of noodles, but the texture is very different. They’re springy, tender, and solid. Much more welcoming of raisins.

Beyond that, I don’t really want any major modifications to my mac and cheese. It’s comfort food and part of that comfort is how familiar it is. I don’t really want anything in there. Even something like bacon or tomatoes, both of which would probably taste really good. Mac and cheese is just one of those things that I want to enjoy simply. Additional ingredients would only detract from the experience.

I am also an undefeated baby

Ohh, the peelies

I hate everything.

Nooo, really??

That’s adorable
