Food Shouldn’t Cause Problems

I don’t like to have problems with my meals. I try really hard to avoid confrontation with food, but sometimes things spin out of control.

We faced two such instances this week. One of them might force me to write a strongly-worded letter to one of my favorite food companies.

Maria decided to make macaroni and cheese with dinner the other night. A few years ago, I managed to convince her that nothing beat Kraft mac and cheese so she headed right for the familiar blue box when she was ready to cook.

Within a few minutes, I could tell something had gone horribly wrong. She went to get a box from the mac and cheese six-pack she had bought a few months earlier and found a problem.

The six-pack was a five-pack. The sneaky people at Kraft had slipped a box with a Capri Sun sample into the mix. They totally fooled us.
