A son is in the process of moving, and brought back a box full of Cup o-Noodles, Easy Mac and Kraft Mac ‘n Cheese. I had just read in today’s paper that Anthony Bourdain loves KFC’s macaroni and cheese. So it was on the mind. It has been many, many years since I last opened a box of the Kraft standby.

Imagine my surprise when I peeked into the box and saw what appeared to be either a large insect or a darkened, possibly moldy piece of pasta. (I’ve not been the same since the visit by the varmint in the garage where some of the food is stored.)

Then I noticed this particular box had a Blue’s Clues theme. Hmmm. I can see little kids fighting over the blue pieces.

Despite the temps being close to 100°, I also made coleslaw. Instead of sour cream, I added plain yogurt. Or so I thought. Turned out to be vanilla yogurt, which transformed a perfectly good batch of slaw into a too-sweet, aromatic dish that was not to my taste.

Then the a/c went dead, along with the refrigerator. Which meant a circuit breaker problem that was fairly easy to fix.

The only dish actually palatable was the beef curry with zucchini. Which is why I’m having a large bowl of fudge tracks ice cream right now.

Wait a minute. Anthony Bourdain goes to KFC?
