The Velveeta is just the MacGuffin. (Or the MacGuffin with cheese, in this case.) It is not the hero. Obtaining and returning with the Velveeta is the story. Begin with the realization that only the Velveeta is required, for a salad, for a burger, for a grilled cheese, or for any other compelling purpose. Then the epic story, the quest, the adventure, can begin. Document every trial and obstacle along the way, from the uncooperative coat sleeve to the grocery cart that has bad bearings in one wheel and constantly attempts to dash you onto the rocks of the canned goods section. Oh . . . it can be Glorious! Feel free to borrow and steal from existing works, as seen here:
