Today I bought Velveeta labeled, “original”

Generally, I buy real cheese, but it is difficult to resist, and it is quite fattening.  Also, it makes my atrial fibrillation kick in, for some reason.  But I do remember the wonderful grilled cheese sandwiches, macaroni and cheese and scalloped potatoes my mother used to make. How did she get such simple foods to taste so good?

I also remember the great stuff she could make out of the wooden box!  Sometimes it would have wheels, we could paint it, put dollies in it, make houses, etc.

Today’s Velveeta still comes in 32 oz packages, and is labeled “pasteurized prepared cheese product.”
