Think i upset an American

[Mamadrae]

Random Fun Fact: You know how they made American cheese?


First they make cheese (Mozzarella, cheddar, whatever). Then they take all the sections that they cut off (deformed-looking, too much for the packaging, etc.). Then they take the varied cheese parts and mix them in a vat. I can't remember the technical parts of how, but they blend the cheeses with food color, then package it as American.

(This Random Fun Fact was brought to you by the TV show "How It's Made", and the fact I have seen that episode at least three times.)

I believe I've seen that episode. I was addicted to Cash Cab and How It's Made before my son got old enough to take over the TV. Now I don't get to watch anything but Backyardians and Diego. I'm lucky the kid likes Avatar and will watch it with us.

By the way. Love the icon. My husband got me the hoodie with that scene on it for Mother's Day. I love my husband!

agreed! Gross!

I use cheddar at my house. BF hates cheddar so I'm guaranteed not so share.

Lucky. I take one noodle and my dad says "THAT'S ENOUGH!!!"



On the other hand I don't like the crusty bits and I give them to him so he can't complain.

And my mom uses cheddar, too. Medium sharp, I believe.


She also makes a spaghetti sauce (that her mother used to make) which involves Velveeta and stewed tomatoes and I don't know what else. It seriously looks like My brother and I won't touch it.

I think I just had a mac and cheese orgasm! Just watched Paula Deen take cold Mac and Chhese, cut it into squares and wrap bacon around it. Then coat it in flour and dip it in egg. Then coat it in bread crumbs and deep fry it. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....

Oh Sheldon, I don't know what's worse. My veins screaming in fear of the sheer clogging sound of that you just described, or the fact that my stomach is grumbling and my mouth has watered at the sound of it.

The Cheesecake Factory has fried mac and cheese...

Though i'm not crazy about their regular mac and cheese so I never tried it fried...

I can feel my arteries clogging as I read this.... but it does sound strangely delicious.
