Sandra Lee, Please Love My Key Lime Pie Jell-O ShotsUntil I was alerted to this video, by way of Jezebel alum Bobby Finger’s Twitter account, of Sandra Lee sprucing up box mac and cheese by adding different cheese and a possibly fatal amount of pepper, I was only dimly aware of who a person called Sandra Lee was. That gap in my cooking knowledge was so vacuous I’m now deeply ashamed of anything I ever cooked before I entered the world of Semi-Homemade. Bobby’s tweet introduced me to a world where box mix instructions were only suggestions and white chocolate paired deliciously with polenta.
