had homemade hamburger helper for din.

3. I tried that shit in a box when it first came out, was barely able to choke it down

and finished by picking the poor burger out of it, silently apologizing to the whole species for the insult. It has since been Hamburger Hater to me.

Rice A Roni was easier, that went straight into the garbage and I dined on a peanut butter sandwich, instead.

Almost anything you do from scratch will be better than stuff in a box unless you're one of those weirdos who does last minute substituions like beanie-weenie when you don't have any beans so you made it with blueberries, instead, because the berries were the right size and shape. If that's the case, eat out of boxes. Please.
