I love maraconi with cheese, lovely taste and texture. But, excuse my ignorance, what is the "KD version"? The only two things that come to mind when I see KD are Khaki Drill, as in RAF overseas uniform, and Knock Down, as in self-assembly furniture.
Great idea. One of the other engineers at work, who was a pilot, was addicted to these. His SO (female) and I were great friends, and she told me I'd really made it when Richard started offering to share his Penquins with me! When I was working in France, I actually found them at the local LeClerc - yum. Haven't found them here often, but on occasion they show up.
Jealous a lot - enjoy.

Similarly, Zatarains does some rice based dishes that work out pretty well. I don't really like or use the pasta type things, or Hamburger Helper, but - to each his own.
For fast MAC & cheese things, we sometimes get the Organic "Annies" pasta and shells - which is made with real cheese - it's pretty quick, and reasonably tasty, sometimes I throw in some frozen veggies - if I'm in a hurry it works out well. No disgusting fake food in it, and saves the time of making a roux, etc. Our COSTCO has it buy the case at times.

There is actually a store in Medford (Oregon) of all places, that carries items like Spotted Dick (canned, but not too bad), Hob Nobs (YUMMMMMMMMM) scottish shortbread and other tasty things.

I swear by Annies! With skim milk and no butter added, it's actually reasonable with a salad for kid dinner
Thanks Cheryl. I like Annies pasta and shells, and usually have it with a salad and/or something green, and no one has thought of me as a kid for a long time.

I watched a demo when someone did his old hd in. No way anyone was ever going to find any copy on that !!

Kraft Dinner, comes in a packet, is supposedly macaroni and cheese. I am not sure what perverted mind made it up, it's a terrible orangy, yellow something like #740 and tastes foul. Any resemblance to macaroni cheese is purely accidental.
I must say, I give Fred points for ingenuity, even though I probably would've had the same initial reaction if he'd used MY oven. (But since I have never in my life had a self-cleaning oven, not something I have to worry about.)
Right now, I have my own cleaning dilemma. The freezer door did not close properly and now I have to figure out how to get caramel-based ice cream off without leaving the door open long enough for everything else to thaw. Since it's caramel, scraping with an old credit card did not do the trick ... I'm going to have to melt the caramel without melting the plastic underneath it, which rules out my usual methods of removing excess ice from the metal portion of the freezer.
Any ideas?

Take other items out of freezer and wrap in blankets/sleeping bag. Then warm the caramel with a hair dryer and clean. Put items back in freezer, shouldn't take long enough to let them unfreeze. Even if they do a little, c'est la vie lol
If it's anything like "Kraft Cheese Slices" then I wouldn't have it in the house
There are certain meals that are "kid food" no matter how old you are. Annie's one, butter on shredded wheat that has hot water or milk poured over it is another. My grandmother taught me that one...

Hot cloth on the caramel, scrap and repeat as needed...

That one I'll pass on. I think shredded wheat tastes like hay and the addition of hot water or milk makes me think of something you would feed a very old horsie.

Kraft Dinner - a macaroni and cheese dinner in a box - one packet of pasta, and a second of a bright orange powder. You cook the macaroni, add a tablespoon of butter or margarine and some milk, plus the orange powder.
It actually was one of the very first 'convenience' foods.. Here's the link to the Kraft website with a history of KD.
Like I said - childhood food. I can't remember - I think it was something for after a fever....

Well, I hate to say it Bruce, but that is one of the penalties of living across the pond. Like everything there are advantages and disadvantages. The youngsters all love this type of stuff. I am 70, and remember well the ghastly yellow stuff served as mashed potatoes at school lunches in England, and the equally unappetising meals (good to us kids, who knew no better) at the British Restaurant in WW2. There was NO choice.
What you grow up with tends to give a basis for the future!! I would sell my soul, though, for a Steak and Kidney Pud!!

Just after we got married in 1975 money was very scarce and for a time we almost lived on steak & kidney puddings with thick black gravy from the chip shop in Stoke-on-Trent. You can still get them in tins but I prefer Maureen's own home-made suet pastry. I have no doubt that you can put on weight just by looking at them but they are absolutely delicious! My lasting memory of school dinners - the post-war equivalent of British Restaurants - was the locally made "salad cream" (NOT mayonnaise which was considered "foreign") which appeared to consist of congealed eggs and custard but tasted mainly of vinegar.

I like steak and kidney pud - do not often make them now, just occasionally for my son. I wish I had known Gillian craved one and I would have made one when they came to visit. Lobster and Stk and Kidney, can't get much better (stranger?) than that !
