heh heh heh - sure.... ;) My kids like Kraft EasyMac - but they won't
eat the type of macaroni and cheese that we had. It was baked in the
oven. It was really good!

This is one of a variety of foods that can surprise one when a real
chef makes it. I don't know when it became a staple for kids though
- so many restaurants have it available on kids' menus now because
they know that works for them. (I don't like the kids' choice of
mac and cheese - nor their choice of pizzas).

A couple of decades ago, I went to a high-end restaurant. My wife
wanted to look at the dessert menu, knowing that I'm not a dessert
fan. She was surprised when I said I wanted to order, but more
surprised when she heard my choice - bread pudding. To her, that
was how her mother got rid of stale bread. But this was made by a
fine dessert chef, not the same thing at all. Ever since then, she
has to try restaurant bread puddings. We never found one quite as
good as that one, but we have found some that were awfully good.
