Like most nights, I asked her what she was making. This time, she gave me an answer that scared me. &#8220;It&#8217;s a surprise.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Uh oh.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I like surprises on Christmas morning. I like surprises on my birthday. I don&#8217;t like surprises at the dinner table. I had a funny feeling I would end up fixing myself peanut butter and jelly for dinner.<\/p>\n<p>I went right into the kitchen to investigate. Boy, was I wrong. I almost shed tears of joy when I saw Maria pouring a packet of orange powder into a pot on the stove.<\/p>\n<p>My wife was making Kraft macaroni and cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Words failed me. I can&#8217;t begin to explain the significance of that moment. I expected the crew from &#8220;Unsolved Mysteries&#8221; to start filming.<\/p>\n<p>I met my wife almost 14 years ago. We have been married for 10 years. She has never made Kraft macaroni and cheese &#8211; one of my favorite foods &#8211; for me in all that time.<\/p>\n<p>I have had macaroni and cheese since then. I&#8217;m human after all. But I have been too lazy to make Kraft for myself in I don&#8217;t know how long. Maria grew up on homemade mac and cheese, so I have had to rough it on that.<\/p>\n<p>Imagine my surprise years ago when Maria told me she could make something better than Kraft. I didn&#8217;t think such a thing existed. I was right.<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t get me wrong &#8211; my wife makes wonderful homemade mac and cheese. I appreciate her opening my eyes to such tasty goodness.<\/p>\n<p>But it&#8217;s not Kraft. I needed that familiarity. I needed that buttery goodness. I needed the comfort only the orange powder can bring.<\/p>\n<p>Kraft mac and cheese has sustained me on so many levels. As a kid, I would eat as many &#8220;packs of mac&#8221; as I could each time my Mom made it. In college, a box could get me through a rough Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>A buddy of mine used to buy a huge supply of Kraft before the semester began. He would hide them from all but a few of us who could dip into his stash to hold us over since meals on Sunday only consisted of brunch and dinner.<\/p>\n<p>You just can&#8217;t get rid of that special connection automatically. I have tried many times to convince my wife that she should give Kraft a shot, but I had no luck. Until a few days ago.<\/p>\n<p>I was so happy when I saw the magic happen in the pot. I thought nothing could make me happier.<\/p>\n<p>Then Bridget started eating. She has not been very eager to try many new foods, but she gave the mac and cheese a shot. And she loved it.<\/p>\n<p>Three packs of mac later, my wife resigned herself to adding that familiar blue box to the grocery list in the future.<\/p>\n<p>The wait was worth it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I came home from work the other night and found Maria in the kitchen fixing dinner.
