Although I was lightyears ahead some of my non-laundry-doing, never-home-alone-before, how-do-I boil-water peers, I still had a lot to learn when it came to the fine art of feeding myself.<div><br /></div><div>More often than not (and much more often than my budget should have allowed) I found myself dining out, saved from both the arduous preparation and cleanup that home cooking, in all it's domestic glory, entails. </div><div><br /></div><div>However, on the rare nights I found myself without dinner plans, I would rummage through my meager supply of groceries, replenished with fine cuisine such as frozen french bread pizzas and Spaghettios, to dig out the solid gold that was EZ Mac. </div><div><br /></div><div>Just add water, instant perfection!</div><div><br /></div><div>Feeling slightly smug on behalf of the human race for evolving from the active task of tracking and staking wild animals, I would pour the macaroni into the carefully measured amount of tap water and wait impatiently! </div><div><br /></div><div>Three minutes later, my macaroni and cheese piping hot and the perfect shade of traffic cone orange, I would indulge in cheesy goodness. </div><div><br /></div><div>I'm sad to say my friends that it took me too bowls of macaroni and my spoon scraping on the wooden table instead of the bowl to notice that the bowl I had been using was styrofoam. It had literally been melting off into my macaroni and cheese for each microwaved moment.</div><div><br /></div><div>To this day, I will still blame my bad directional sense and inability to wink on the day I ate styrofoam. </div>Grace H. http://www.blogger.com/profile/06956326139757102018noreply@blogger.com0
