adventures in home economics
Problem: damn, that two-pound brick of cheddar cheese we've had in the fridge is gonna die any day now. It's technically a week past expiration as it is, y'know.
Solution: cook up a full-on quadruple batch of Ealasaid's macaroni and cheese to use it all up. Seriously: this is a metric ass-ton of macaroni and cheese. I think we've purposed every Tupperware-style container on hand towards holding it all.
On the one hand, all told, that's approximately 8,000 calories worth of mac and cheese. And Ealasaid's dietary restrictions preclude her from eating much of it, which means slogging through it all falls squarely upon my shoulders. On the other hand, holy god, that's two full work-weeks' worth of lunches produced for something a shade less than $15. Hell, we could've splurged with upscale cheeses and hoity-toity Whole Foods bread crumbs and still kept things under a sawbuck. That's crazy economical, yo.
