For Those Who Enjoy Macaroni & Cheese

February 1st, 2009

You may remember my husband Ian from that one time he waved at the camera when I was on The Mike and Juliet Show. But he has his own claim to fame; his macaroni and cheese box collection.

I was gone this week (thank you, Jen, for holding down the fort) because I accompanied him to L.A. When I was on Mike and Juliet I didn’t have a dressing room; he had three rooms and a jacuzzi tub usually reserved for rock bands. That’s show biz!

There are people in the comments evincing surprise that he’s not fat (“hahaha yeah most ian’s are skinny like the I in their name. However, I have met one fat Ian”) so I guess I could pretend this is relevant, but let’s be honest, this really has nothing to do with anything.

    That was fantastic! How cool of Jimmy Kimmel to bring him the Lost prop.

    This is far too awesome. :D

    That was awesome. But please tell me that’s not the entire Canadian portion of his collection… because we’re really not that boring. (boring, sure, but not THAT boring)

    I love that Andy Garcia stayed out on stage to get in on the mac-n-cheese talk. :)

  5. mo pie, on February 1st, 2009 at 8:23 pm Said:

    Okay and this thread is hilarious.

  6. Mia, on February 1st, 2009 at 9:02 pm Said:

    that was awesome. I love it. Collections like that are the kind that end up in museums! I love contemporary cultural collectors!

    And ya, Canadians have a bunch of different mac&cheese boxes…with actual pictures.

    That was so cool! It’s awesome that he got the Dharma Mac and Cheese, I’m totally jealous!

  8. DougThaCub, on February 1st, 2009 at 11:49 pm Said:

    I saw it when it aired, and he was great!

    But I was wondering what you thought of all the fat jokes, the one about the PETA ad and all that? I was pretty disturbed by them, that once again fat people are funny.

  9. mo pie, on February 1st, 2009 at 11:56 pm Said:

    That PETA parody ad was really awful, I completely agree. I was totally offended by it. And I’m glad it’s Ian’s video that’s making the rounds, and not that awful parody.

  10. Sony, on February 2nd, 2009 at 12:45 am Said:

    That was awesome. I’m so glad you posted this because I completely forgot to record it.

  11. Chrissy, on February 2nd, 2009 at 1:12 am Said:

    That was perhaps the most wonderful thing I’ve seen on Jimmy Kimmel ever. Yay Mac & Cheese!

  12. Laura, on February 2nd, 2009 at 2:02 am Said:

    OMG Ian got the Dharma box!!!! That f-ing rules! Thanks for sharing the video :)

  13. tria, on February 2nd, 2009 at 6:56 am Said:

    I can see exactly why you love Ian! He and his collection are awesome!

  14. ladyjaye, on February 2nd, 2009 at 7:42 am Said:

    What, no box of Kraft Dinner (the Canadian version of Mac & Cheese)? I’m trying to figure out where that blue and yellow no-name one came from… Looks familiar but I really can’t remember!

  15. Wendy, on February 2nd, 2009 at 8:23 am Said:

    I love that totally minimalist Canadian one. It looks like the cover to a scandalous French paperback novel.

  16. thordora, on February 2nd, 2009 at 9:18 am Said:

    I’d love to send him some Maritime and French versions! :) I was thinking of that this morning when I moved a box to get to something. :P

  17. mccn, on February 2nd, 2009 at 9:38 am Said:

    Is it OK to say I totally have a crush on your husband now? Because I totally do.

    Would he like a Korean mac and cheese box?

  18. Kristen, on February 2nd, 2009 at 9:54 am Said:

    At 9:52am, I’m totally craving mac & cheese now. I have a box of the reduced fat Velveeta in my kitchen cabinet screaming my name. There’s also a recipe I’m dying to try that uses smoked gouda.

    I love his box collection! Ian looks and sounds like such a great guy!

  19. Rachel, on February 2nd, 2009 at 10:19 am Said:

    OK, next time I ditch Mike & Juliet in favor of Kimmel. He’s much cooler, anyway. Ian looked really cool, too. Cute outfit!

    I wonder how many box donations this show will inspire people to send him!

  20. lisa-marie, on February 2nd, 2009 at 11:04 am Said:

    That was really awesome! Congrats to Ian! I loved the look on his face when Jimmy pulled out the Dharma box! That is pure, unadulterated joy!

  21. Ian, on February 2nd, 2009 at 4:22 pm Said:

    Maritime and French versions! Send!!!

  22. Ian, on February 2nd, 2009 at 4:25 pm Said:

    Korean mac and cheese box!!! Send!

  23. mo pie, on February 2nd, 2009 at 4:28 pm Said:

    Man, that macaroni and cheese guy is SO BOSSY.

  24. mccn, on February 3rd, 2009 at 11:30 am Said:

    He IZ! But Ok, I will send! (Can you just send me an email telling me where? Mo, I think you have my email from when I did that book review?)

  25. Adi V., on February 5th, 2009 at 8:28 am Said:

    Sweet! A Dharma Initiative Swan box. There are eight other stations besides the pearl though aren’t there? Do they each have their own rations?
