canadians call it "kraft dinner"

i'm talking about every little kids' favorite brat-dinner...white trash family's add some hot dogs and it'll feed us all...middle class housewive's add tuna and we've got a classy dish...add some peas and you've got a well balanced meal.

lets talk about the one the only, MAC & CHEESE.
mmmm, delicious. frugal. easy. enjoyable? from who's perspective?
mac and cheese is evil in disguise. a meal with a hidden agenda. a bringer of suffering. 
one bowl of mac and cheese produces 4-5 dirty dishes, one happy brat, and one disgruntled dish doer. 
that is what i woke up to this morning, and aftering toiling for hours scrubbing pots and pans, plates, silverware...all pre-rinsed and prepared for sanitization after their use...i find the anti-christ himself.
there it was, a lonely bowl, traces of last nights feast still hanging on begging to be remembered...forever. 
dried. hardened. caked. call it what you will, the second most difficult dish to clean next to egg  yolk on a plate, is mac and cheese in a bowl. 
soaking does nothing. sponges do nothing. brushes do nothing. cleaning dried mac and cheese is kinda like scraping paint off a wall.
so to the ass-brat, who enjoyed his/her delicious class friendly meal-in-a-box last night, understand that it took me longer to do one bowl of dried mac and cheese than it did for all of the dishes from two days ago.

and a link to someone that understands both mac and cheese and doing the dishes.
