An Ode to Burnt Mac and Cheese

The Burnt Mac and Cheese
Oh Mac, Oh Cheese
How I love to please
The groups I cook for
And regular pasta is such a bore
One day I cooked you for a massive crew
Who was building cabins from CBW
They moved ton and tons of concrete
And said the Mac was hard to beat
Oh Mac, oh cheese
Loaded with green chilies
You warm cold folks, about to freeze
With your heat both real and percieveeeed
On a road stove bubbled a pot of Mac
The stirring while cooking was too slack
And alas, the bottom of the pot was brown and black
And Andrew gave me a load of flack
Oh Mac, oh cheese
Why you gotta burn the pot
I love your flavors quite a lot
But when you burn, cleaning’s fraught
So when the students came back
I tried to redeem myself with more delicious, cheesy Mac
I put in a load of cheddar and pepper jack
And knew the cook was right on track
Oh Mac, oh cheese
Don’t do me like that
And engage in burnt-pot combat
Just slide out all easy, don’t let me fall flat
The ooey gooey cheesy mess
Came out and I have to confess
I felt a good about of deep deep stress
But lucky for me, it was a success!
Oh Mac, oh cheese
You’re really the bees knees
No burn pot-bottom, no Andrew to appease
Oh Mac, oh cheese
Oh Mac, Oh cheese.

The far more successful mac and cheese.

Matt Baker-White has been leading treks for the Gulch since 2013. While talented in many realms, and while quite a good cook, he does enjoy burning food to the bottom of pots and pans in order to increase KP for the rest of us. An alum has threatened Crimes Against the Kitchen punishment if he does it again. For now, he’s sticking to salad since he hasn’t found a way to burn that (yet).
