I just went out and got some Kraft Dinner and in order to obtain the microwave instructions you have to go to their bloody website.,kraft dinner.com but it doesn`t even give the instructions.

Most of the top chefs are men. Tongue (most McDs short-order cooks are men LOL)
 
Hmm - had no idea what Kraft Dinner's where, so I looked it up on the netweb thing. It seems the microwave directions are hard to find and there are many references to people not being able to find them - most curious.
 
Of course you could have boiled the water in the microwave - that would have saved 18 minutes Wink
What?

In my family men never go near the kitchen. The only thing we know how to do is cook fish after we go out and catch them.

If you're as much of a sausage fan as your boyfriend is, try baking them in the oven, then about 10 minutes before the end of the cooking time, add a generous glug of dark maple syrup; in that 10 minutes, the syrup will combine with any fat in the baking tray & give you a thick sweet glaze - absolutely gorgeous.

Thanks for the tip, JimThumbs Up! Micky is a big sausage fan too, and I'm sure he'd love this twist.

Excellent vintage DP picture cacho, I love that suspicious look that Ian is throwing at Ritchie while Ian seems to gravitate towards Jon for protection or something.

P.S. I used to have stacks (platform heeled shoes) like Ian's, only no buckle.

... or a huge (and I mean HUGE) glug of balsamic vinegar (the cheap'n'cheerful stuff - no point in being needlessly extravagant) which will also reduce down to a nice sticky gravy.

I phoned my sister in Ontario. 12 minutes in the nuker. Simple. That`s as far as I go. KD.

maple syrup and sausage do go together beautifully, I often make a hash of Hungarian or Polish, potatoes, onion, green pepper, and a healthy shot of real maple while cooking in a skillet, some sea salt and plenty of black pepper of course

speaking of Kraft, I finally found a store near me that sells the white cheddar mac&cheese in a box, hate the orange stuff

Cooking the hard-way isn't much more time consuming than nuking a ready meal (unless you've got an industrial microwave or access to a 10 cm airfield radar klystron [I've done that too - a meat-pie just fits in the wave-guide - just have to remember two things - 1) remove the pie from the foil tray first and 2) turn off the transmitter before putting your mits anywhere near it!!]). I can probably prep a whole meal in only a few minutes more than it takes for most people to unwrap the packaging and decypher the cooking instructions on a cook-chill. How long can it take to throw a handful of herbs at a piece of lamb and slam it in the oven?
 
While it's cooking there's not much to do except crack open a bottle of wine, kick back and listen to some tunes...
 
Prog songs make pretty good kitchen timers.... How do you like your boiled eggs? Try using the Angel's Egg method - Sold To The Highest Buddha for soft, I Never Glid Before  for medium and Other Side Of The Sky for hard.

You should've been here on Tuesday (Mardi Gras), when I made a textbook-perfect jambalaya with andouille sausage and shrimp, and a decadent bread pudding with chocolate and orange marmaladeWink...
