Cheesy might sound like an order at the neighborhood burger joint. It\’s also what happens when you have an extra cheese sauce packet from boxed mac n cheese.

Day before yesterday I hung the panniers on the hybrid and rode to the salvage store. Among my purchases were four boxes of 4/$1.00 mac n cheese.

I didn\’t notice until I was back home that one of those boxes had a slit in it. Probably it was accidentally cut open at a previous store. I didn\’t quite dare to eat the macaroni, but the packet of cheese sauce mix was intact. I kept the cheese packet and tossed the mac.

After a chilly ride this morning, I decided to fix mac n cheese with double cheese. I have more than enough boxes of \”mac\”, and need to use up some of them. This was also a good opportunity to use up some more cans: one of chicken, and one of mixed veggies.

The result is pretty good. I ate some as brunch, and can take some to work for lunch tomorrow. But I wouldn\’t dare to serve it to Grand Tour riders at the end of a stage. That would be cheesy, indeed!
