Yes, I’m talking about macaroni and cheese. Apparently a fierce debating is raging as to the merits of Annie’s Organic vs. the classic Kraft box. You’ll find a lengthy (and hysterical) dissertation on the subject over at Salon.com. It does a side-by-side comparison with Annie’s bunny-endorsed mac-n-cheese and the vibrant orange stuff of Kraft.

I wonder how it compares to Mary Jane Butters’ mix which we wrote about last summer? For that matter, Rachael Ray’s recipe is so easy, it’s enough to make you swear off the instant forever.

(that stuck out at me in teh New Yorker article.) As for miso, get the paste not the dried miso. Powdered miso is yucky.
