Another Kraft Dinner recipe

I have another Kraft Dinner recipe available. This time, I substituted Our Compliments Extra Creamy Cheddar brand macaroni and cheese ($0.66). It’s pretty good, and the macaroni is shorter, thicker and more curvey than traditional KD. The sauce is better, and has a sharper taste. This recipe also makes use of Blair’s Death Sauce, so it’s hot and aptly named Zuckervati’s Death Dinner:

3 TBS margarine
3/4 cup milk
1 Pkg. Kraft Dinner or reasonable facsimile
3 Yves Veggie Jumbo Dogs or regular all-beef wieners
1 TBS Blair’s Original Death Sauce
1 tsp Jalapeno powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp garlic powder

Boil the KD noodles as per instructions, boiling the Jumbo Dogs as well. Drain the KD noodles and transfer the Jumbo Dogs to a cutting board. Slice them into 1/2 inch slices (actually, cut them up any way you want, it’s your food). Place the pot back on low heat, and add the margarine and the cheese powder, as well as the spices, and Blair’s Death Sauce. To avoid lumps, begin mixing the milk in slowly and allow the sauce to thicken before adding more. Once finished adding the milk, stir in the noodles and Jumbo Dogs, and mix it all up.
This recipe was a little hotter than I expected, explaining the late addition of garlic and onion powder — the heat was taking some of the flavour away. With a little more milk, the sauce became a really nice nacho-style sauce, and the heat is short-lived. Add a little salt if you like. Serves 2-4.
Say what you will about adding wieners to KD, but I’ve always liked it. The Yves Veggie Jumbo Dogs add a substantial amount of protein to an otherwise high-carbohydrate meal.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
