This week’s entry but that’s OK. There’s only so much you can say about macaroni and cheese, right? But I came across a great addition to the foods we have access to here in the Nebraska Union. I’ve often lamented the lack of a tasty taco here on campus, and I’d love to find a slice of pizza pie without the added gallon of grease (sorry Sbarro’s), but I’ve never given much thought to the presence or absence of mac and cheese on campus.
I’m guessing students living in the dorms have access from time to time on Selleck’s dinner menu, but for the most part the sometimes snack/sometimes main entrée has remained absent as a viable lunchtime choice on campus.
But sometimes being in the right place at the right time has its rewards. I was wasting time between classes the other day down at the Daily Nebraskan offices playing Snood, Text Twist or some other random time wasting game and some other staffers showed up with their lunch choices.
They raved about how tasty the macaroni and cheese was that they just purchased from the Bakery (just northwest of Burger King in the Union. An eight-ounce cup costs $1.29 or a 12-ounce bowl is $1.99.
My interest piqued I went upstairs and bought a cup.
Wow.
It was good in the way that Velveeta shells and cheese is good. And it comes in single serving portions, my biggest props for this new found delicacy. See, mac and cheese at the homestead is usually a two person endeavor. Leftovers are out of the question, and anytime I attempt to eat a whole box of Kraft I hate my life for the rest of the day.
But I know what will fill my tummy more often than not for the rest of the semester, for less than two bucks to boot. Yay.
