Well I thought it was going to be a simple dinner, but it turned out to be a better than average one tonight. I had some chicken thighs in the refrigerator that needed to be cooked up. So they went into the oven with the Bisquick oven-fried chicken recipe. While that was cooking I put some refrigerator biscuits in to cook in the toaster oven, and some Bob Evans mashed potatoes went into the microwave, along with fat free chicken gravy and some peas. Turned out to be having a Sunday dinner on a Tuesday night! No one complained though!

I didn’t feel like cooking tonight
I didn’t feel like cooking tonight so I fixed a DiGiorno’s frozen rising crust three meat pizza. I never used to like frozen pizzas, but I have to say that this particular pizza is pretty close to pizza parlor fresh dough pizza, which is my favorite. I like to have this instead of pizza parlor pizza because it is only about half of the price and it is convenient to cook. The pizza parlor doesn’t deliver to my place anyway, so by the time I drove to the parlor to get the pizza, I can have it cooked right here at home, and while it’s cooking I can be relaxing or doing something productive other than wasting gas on a drive to the pizza parlor!

Do they EVER grow up????
I would never have expected in a million years for tonight’s scene to happen. My significant other came home from work and announced that he had an Elks meeting tonight and he needed to take a nap until about 6pm.
Much to my surprise, as he was walking out the door to go to the meeting he said to me “Oh, by the way, I’m supposed to bring several dozen home made cookies to tonight’s meeting!”
Well, you know what? I haven’t made home made cookies in years, and I don’t have any just lying around the house, either! When my kids were in elementary school, they used to spring that kind of thing on me, but it was at least the night before we needed the cookies, not as we were walking out the door!
So, I ask you, do they EVER grow up?

More unsafe food!
Good grief, it is getting to the point where I have to get up and ask “what’s the unsafe food of the month?” Is all of this unsafe food a result of laziness, corporate greed, sabotage, what is it? Thank goodness there are mechanisms in place for recalls, but really people, we shouldn’t HAVE to be recalling all of this stuff! What a horrible shame that someone has dropped the ball, making so many people fall ill because of unsafe food making it to the grocery store. I’m starting to be ashamed of the human race. We OUGHT to be better than this!
