Okay, so on the KD issue I say it was invented with kids in mind; it’s generally eaten with fingers, dropped on floors or in laps and sometimes finds its way into ears and noses and when it’s completely cold and sticky it might make its way into a mouth only to be rolled around until all the cheesy goo is off and then taken out and fed to the dog. Given this, I say make it without a care - everyone will still love it.

Reading this, I am not certain which of you is really “right” about the measuring but the author is a professor of chemistry so it might add to the debate.

I’m not sure how Janet can “agree to disagree” that a cup of water measured in the red cup above and then poured into a liquid measuring cup isn’t still a cup. I’ve done this in front of her. In doing some research online, there is something called “dry measurements,” but they are not used in U.S. recipes and they typically are used to measure things like “a quart of strawberries” rather than a “cup of flour.”

KD should be cooked for 7minutes. No more, no less. It’s better with all the butter, but best with extra butter and less milk. Whole milk is better than skim. The milk and butter should be heated in the microwave to keep the pasta hot.
