Almost Edible Photo: Deep Fried Macaroni and Cheese

It's nearly 11:30, and I skipped breakfast this morning (I know, I know, most important meal of the day and all that, but I had an early meeting, and then starting answering emails, and now it’s almost lunchtime, so why eat breakfast), which means that I’m starving, and almost anything might start me salivating, and start my stomach to growling loudly enough that the person in the cube next to mine is starting to look at me strangely. But, even so, I don’t know that there’s anything I could contemplate having for lunch that would make me hungrier than the below photo of deep fried mac-and-cheese, taken from the Biggest Menu. Mac-and-cheese is already a serious favorite, but then deep fried (which naturally makes anything better), and in easy-to-handle bite-sized form? I think I might just faint.
