More like Best Bastards.
Okay. Adam wanted that cheeseburger hamburger helper stuff for dinner, so I found a box of that knock-off brand, Best Yet in the cabinet. I did all the prep, brown hambuger, drain oil, etc. The box said to add a cup of milk and two and a third cups of water. Okay, done. I opened up the box to put in the package of sauce mix, when lo and behold, only macaroni.
They stiffed us on the main freaking ingredient.
I guess it was MY FAULT for doing something stupid like assume that the box would have in it what we paid for. That’s what I get for using the crap that was on sale. The bit that really pissed me off was the fact that I’m not such a good cook that I know how to improvise with a pot of hamburger, milk, and water. Oh, yeah, and a package of plain macaroni. I was going to jack the powdered yellow stuff out of a pack of mac and cheese and dump it in instead, but couldn’t find any in the house. Probably just as well.
Long story short (okay, too late) I drove Adam to Sack-n-Save and he ran in a got a pack of Hamburger Helper. And guess what. THE NAME BRAND CAME WITH SAUCE. Who woulda thunk. You get what you pay for. In the Best Yet case, you pay two-fifty for a little package of macaroni in a big cardboard box.
Live and learn.
