Hi Dave,
DD> Agreed. Stouffer's has some decent frozen entrees - but lasagna ain't
DD> one of them. I get along just fine with their spaghetti w/meat sauce
DD> as long as the Parmesan shaker isn't empty. And the Chicke fettucine
DD> Alfredo with broccoli is pretty good.
RH> We've not tried any of their other products as I make my own versions.
RH> But some years ago, we were up at my parent's house, with my 2
RH> brothers. They (brothers) were talking about how good Stouffer's is;
RH> Steve and I sat there inwardly cringing at their lack of taste. But,
RH> considering both of them were single, it's not really a surprise.
RH> Younger brother could cook some, older brother did well to heat water.
DD> As a single guy, cooking for one, the frozen dinners/entrees are a
DD> great convenience. And handy when I'm busy trying to finish up all my
DD> "round
DD> tuits" before my black camel kneels. Bv)=
I can understand; I've not really had too much experience cooking for
just one person.
DD> I am somewhat a connoisseur of frozen single serves. The most
DD> reliably, overall, is Healty Choice steamers. Never hit a clinker yet.
DD> The bottom of the garbage pail is Michelena's - never tasted a good
DD> one. Stouffer's, as I said, has some good stuff. As does Marie
DD> Callendar's - but the price makes me wince. Bv)=
DD> ... What would Paula Deen do? Wrap it in bacon, dip it in batter &
DD> deep-fry it!
RH> You forgot that it gets slathered with butter before being wrapped in
RH> bacon. (G)
DD> Wouldn't fit in the tagline. No matter the truth of it. Bv)=
RH> Slather it with butter, wrap in bacon, batter dip, then deep fry. (G)
DD> That will fit in a tagline only by leaving Ms. Deen out of it. Bv)=
RH> OK, "coat with butter, bacon wrap, batter dip & fry". Paula Deen
DD> I surrender ............
RH> Don't forget, I'm a newspaper editor's daughter. (G)
DD> And I'm an old newspaper reporter/editor/publisher/columnist/etc.
DD> Throw in ad salesman/graphic artist/printer and janitor. Everything
DD> but photo taker including circulation manager. Ahhhh, the good ol' (if
DD> not very
DD> profitable) days.
Dad was editor, not owner so it wasn't profitable for us. He
supplimented income by doing wedding, etc photos, mom did Local &
Personal column for the paper until I was in 6th grade (youngest sibling
in first grade), then she worked for the school. General aide for 2
years, then moved into the library for about 20. I learned to cook as
part of her getting a Master's degree.
DD> If I hit the lottery I'm going to have my dream kitchen designed as
DD> the hum of my new home. Then hang the living, sleeping and home
office DD> space off of that. Wall ovens, walk-in reefer, dishwasher,
counter DD> seating for eat-in, nook for a table for six (or more),
etc. And lots DD> or cabinet and pantry space. I've mentally budgeted
U$50,000.
