An Apology

macaroni-and-cheeseMy Brother-in-law and my father-in-law have grossed me out for years talking about their “Macaroni and cheese.”  I always cringe wwhen they talk about it as it sounds GROSS! They love their mac-and-cheese with jelly mixed in with it!  What?!?!?  Can I get one big collective “Ewwwwwww.?!?!” Ick.

Punky would not eat his macaroni and cheese last night for supper.   Apparently Kelly makes it the best, and mine is subpar.

So, Hubby chimed in, “Ya know how Grandpa Kenny eats his mac-and cheese?”

Punky, wide-eyed and eyebrow raised:  “How?”

Hubby: “with jelly on it!”

Me:  eyes roll towards the heavens

Punky: ” Me try it!”

Hubby goes to get the jelly.   Apparently, it’s best with grape jelly, but we only had raspberry.  So, Hubby scooped out a massive red blob on the day-glow orange macaroni and mixed it up.   Unable to stand it anymore, and to put this disgusting entree to rest in my mind, I grabbed a spoon and tried it.

Yum.

Surprisingly, it was very good!

So, as my big brother (in-law) (Hi, Brian!) says, “Hey, don’t knock it, til you try it!”

So, I apologize from the bottom of my enormous heart to my big brother and my father-in-law.   It was tasty!

    I.was.rolling! Surprisingly I’ve never tried it yet myself either. I read this and began to squeel with laughter though. I can only imagine the look you had when he chimed in with Punky on how Dad and Grandpa like their Mac n’ cheese.

    Truly priceless!

    Wow. I’ve never had macaroni and cheese this way. I do like mine with bacon or chipotle peppers, but jelly, wow!

    I’ll put sprinkles on Kid 3’s macaroni when we go to a particular buffet restaurant that I do not like. It doesn’t really change the taste too much.

    But jelly. Thats out there.

    Now Now! Don’t knock it until you try it! 😉

    Nemma, Yes, jelly is Jam.

    Fiendfyre: LOL! You would have been on the floor laughing!

    Beau, bacon? really? Never tried that. I will have to. Even the peppers sound good, too!

    Mom (Grandma Knock-Knock), now, that’s not fair! I live in the land of hotdish, bars, foods on a stick! etc.
