Many college students make macaroni and cheese in their dorm room.  But let's face it, it gets old fast.  But it's such a quick fix for food.  Such a dilemma, I know.  
So my thought process? Many brands have pre-made sauces, so why not simply boil water/cook pasta, strain, and add a sauce.  That's basically how most box mac-n-cheeses work, so it should work, right?
Well, it's a work in progress.  I tried it today, and it wasn't as simple as I thought it would be.  First of all, I tried putting the pasta in a mug.  Not a good idea, because it doesn't cook as well.  Also, water overflowed numerous times during cooking, which made for lots of cleanings and a very wet kitchen towel (sorry Mom)!  A bowl definitely works better for cooking the pasta.  
So lesson of the day?  I need to find 1) the best bowl for the job and 2) a more accurate time.  When I find this out, I promise I'll let you know.  Because I don't want to have mac-n-cheese every time I need a quick dinner!
