Let's try to get some facts straight.

1) It does not take 15 minutes (of actual cooking effort) to make mac and cheese out of a box. You fill the pot, walk away, come back, add the pasta, stir, walk away, come back, drain, then spend two minutes assembling the sauce, done.

2) To make mac and cheese from scratch, you need to make a Bechamel sauce so it requires near constant attention and stirring. Never mind the time, tools and hassle of grating cheese.

Time and work should never be considered equivalent units of measure.

That my friend is a boat-load of calories.

6oz of frozen orange juice concentrate = 336 calories

1 cup of sugar = 774 calories

1 cup 2% milk = 122 calories

Ummm, you may want to have a couple of candy bars (270 calories each) and a glass of milk instead (122 calories).

For "espresso", the Bialetti Musa 6-cup is perfect for two people (and it fits prefectly in our small 1 bedroom apartment). For my regular coffee needs, I have a $20 dollar Cooks brand drip machine that works well enough. The coffee I use is Paul DeLima Kona blend (pre-ground, frozen, and old) because it is free.

Chicken for breakfast just seems odd. I can just imagine dunking a piece of chicken into the yolks of my over-easy eggs while whispering "See little chicken, i got your unborn children too...hahahahaha".
