CAPTAIN WILLPOWER!!!!

Hell Yes... I made it!  (was there ever any doubt?) 

I must "toot my own horn"!  I managed to venture into a glitzy, exciting, clean, well-maintained chain grocery store and not buy anything (other than the pooch's food)!  This is a GARGANTUAN feat!!!  I might be so bold as to say, comparable to a sex addict walking down Sunset Boulevard! 

I miss WIDE aisles and shiny tile, I miss neatly arranged products, I miss the chill of cold air from the frozen food aisles, I miss the perfectly aligned shelves...I MISS IT ALL!!!  Scratch that... I REALLY don't miss any of that so terribly much, what I do miss is this:

My old childhood favorite...the Mac and Cheese!!!  Why is it that other cultures don't embrace the processed, fake,  cheesy,  goodness of boxed mac n' cheese? Ummmm....I just remembered, it is because  it has no nutrition value, but DAMN it is SO good!!!  I did not buy my creamy, processed, American fabulousness and therefore I AM---CAPTAIN WILLPOWER!!!!
