Doesn’t she know I can eat this whole box of mac and cheese myself no problem????
okay well maybe i shouldn’t, but
Completo, for uno.
Anything’s a serving for one if you’re that desperate.

Any pizza is a personal pizza if you believe in yourself!
I for real have super mac and cheese cravings constantly tho, but it’s toward the bottom of the list of things I can eat and not die from a sploded kidneys
Why gorge myself on a pizza once, when I can order a larger pizza and feast like a king for a week?
(Seriously, one large Extravaganzza from Dominos is easily enough food for four meals now. Back in high school I could eat an entire stuffed cheezy bread in one sitting. Now I think all that oil and cholesterol would give me a heart attack.)
We had a small ham for two people that lasted nearly a month 👍 (mostly bc aforementioned kidneys or it would’ve been “nearly an hour”)
The most messed up part is that he seems to be eating it out of the pot
Don’t be silly. If you’re eating the whole thing by yourself, why would you ever bother getting another dish dirty? That’s just ridiculous. You eat it out of the pot you cooked it in, using the same spoon you stirred the whole affair with.
Yup yup! That’s what I do when I make Ramen or Jambalaya. Let it cool a couple minutes, then put the pot on a cork trivet, just in case, to protect the table.
I mean, the main reason not to eat out of the pot is your cutlery will prolly scratch it up
If they’re cheapo pots, idk 🤷 do w/e
Holding a hot sauce pan on one’s lap really doesn’t seem like a good idea.
A solid pair of jeans can handle it with relatively little cooling, even without an enhanced physique like Walky’s.
Ouch? (That pot was steaming just now . . . )
Former bachelor here. I don’t get the assessment of “messed up”.
IIRC letting it cool is part of the process, hence why he’s leaning in for panel 1?
Completo!
Man, those boxes of KD and its generic knockoffs barely feed a single adult. It’s only multiple servings for kids!
And you have to eat it all while it’s fresh, because it doesn’t keep well as leftovers. (The allegedly-cheese sauce starts to separate, and it gets all clumpy and gritty in the fridge.)
If I’m hungry enough, I could probably eat a whole box of mac and cheese in one sitting. But usually I end up having enough left over for a second meal later on.
See, this is why we buy all boxed pastas in duplicate. Then, when I feel like eating pasta, I ask my fiancee “Hey, you want some angel hair pasta with herbs” and he’ll be like “Sure!” and then I cook two boxes. One box for me, half a box for him, and then I get another half box when he can’t finish what’s left. :p
Oh, and yes, one of us will eat from the pot because dishes are evil. If I make for me, I just grab a pot holder, put it under the pot, and put on desk. Then I fight off the swarm of kitties wanting some of my delicioso.
I’m 6’5″ and weigh approximately as much as a bus according to my goddaughter (lol), so yeah one box = one meal for me too. Both my sons are nearly as big as their ol’ dad so when they come over it’s a three box dinner extravaganza!
