  <introduction>
    <![CDATA[<p>In a pinch for something quick, filling, and tasty?  This is my go-to when the grocery stores have closed, and the fridge is empty.  It&#8217;s amazing how well the smokeyness of the oysters, the sweetness of the onion, and the salty white cheddar cheese mix go together.</p>]]>

  <instructions>
    <![CDATA[<ol>
	<li>Bring a pot of water to a boil, add macaroni, and cook for 4 minutes.</li>
		<li>Strain and reserve macaroni.</li>
		<li>Bring the empty pot back onto the stove at medium/high heat, and add only the smokey oil from the can of oysters.</li>
		<li>Cut the onion in half and slice it very finely, adding it to, and cooking it in, the smokey oil.</li>
		<li>Once the onion is cooked, which should take about 5 minutes, add and combine the 3/4 Cup of milk and the white cheese mixture.</li>
		<li>Add the noodles back to the pot and cook for 2-3 minutes, so that they can absorb some of the delicious sauce.</li>
		<li>Turn off the heat, and fold in the reserved can of oysters.</li>
