Lawson said that while she does not like preparing some foods, she recently made microwave macaroni and cheese for her family. "When my family didn't seem properly appreciative, I pointed out that it had taken me a half-hour to make it," she wrote. "Victor refused to believe it until he opened the trash can and found ten single-serving just-add-water macaroni cups. He stared at me in disbelief, as I patted myself on the back for taking out the other trash sack from earlier, which had included an additional ten single-serving macaroni dishes, which had sort of fused together into a single, melty pile. Apparently if you want to cook ten plastic serving bowls for three minutes each you shouldn't just shove them all in the microwave all together for thirty minutes and then to leave to take a shower. This is my advice to you, and is something Julia Child never covered."
