what to do with the time.
yes, i know it’s not cheese, but something about this sauce is like liquid gold to me
—
A Florida woman filed a class action lawsuit against Kraft Heinz … claiming its Velveeta Shells & Cheese prep time is not actually “ready in 3 1/2” minutes, as advertised.
She states that the 3.5 minutes is only the amount of time the food has to go in the microwave and claims it takes more time to actually prepare the meal — don’t forget you’ve got to pour water into the cup and stir in the cheese sauce.
She doesn’t say how long it takes her, but claims the 4 steps listed in the directions — remove the lid and cheese sauce pouch, add water to the fill line and stir, microwave for 3 1/2 minutes, and then stir in the cheese sauce — don’t equate to the mac actually being READY to eat in that time frame.
She’s also looking to put together a class of customers who might also be upset about the prep time and says the damages will exceed $5 million.
“We are aware of this frivolous lawsuit and will strongly defend against the allegations in the complaint,” the company reportedly told USA Today.
*editorial opinion: what if she was to devote all of the time and energy and money it is taking her to create, publicize, rally people, and carryout this lawsuit, and instead, use it as the ‘extra unplanned prep time’ she feels she is wasting and it requires, when making her shells and cheese? or, make it from scratch and compare the prep time needed. just a thought… (beth)

in early june.
after 3 years
my little stick
left untouched
given time and space
has grown into
a baby peony tree
well worth the wait
for its very first bloom.

time flies.
and yet again
we find ourselves caught up
in the dance
of ‘daylight savings time’
as we
readjust once more
are we early
are we late
are we on time
whose time are we on
no one is quite sure.

a day late and a movie short.
excited to see a new film
(one of my favorite things to do)
i arrived precisely
at the designated time and place
(with time to meet up, buy tickets, grab a ‘movie-buttered’ popcorn, chatter a bit, and find our seats)
only to discover
that i had organized it so that
we were precisely
24 hours late for the show.
—
p.s. i really do make every effort to be on time for things
but this has also happened
with a holiday party i was really excited to attend
a few years back
is this a pattern? see below –
