Day Three Hundred and Eight: And He Called It....Macaroni?

Have you ever thought to yourself, "I think I'll cook up some macaroni and cheese on the stove top?"

And after you boil the water and pour in the noodles and turn down the heat just a bit on the stove, have you ever laid down on the couch while waiting for the noodles to cook?

And then have you ever fallen asleep on that couch for about two or three hours, because it was really too late to be cooking macaroni in the first place, and you should have just gone to bed instead?

Alas, I guess it's back to PB & J for me.
