I eat my choc in private, and I'm nice---sneaky, but nice.
Can I give you my TJs shopping list? We always go to the one in the university district every time we're in town. Actually, I stocked up pretty well last time, so no big needs right now.
Actually I made it up as a way to avoid my sister's horrible store bought pumpkin pies that she ....
tries to pass off as home made! LOL
Interesting stuff in your link, Meryl. Recently I had a wonderful chocolate bar...dark chocolate with bits of hot chilies in it from South America. It was wonderful! A friend found it in the East West Book store. They don't have any more and I can't find them anywhere!
Didn't want to look at my stove last evening. I had bought some chicken wings at Costco (on sale)
so, they went into the oven for 20 minutes. I did manage to make a cabbage salad and poured out some baby carrots into a bowl. We used some prepared Ranch Dressing for a dip. Voila! Instant dinner.
The frozen large ravioli from Costco can be layered in a baking dish with a good bottled sauce and
baked for 45 minutes or so, long enough to have a drink and slice up some bread for garlic bread and make a salad. That's my favorite I don't want to cook meal and pretty good. Directions are on the package.
I turn to my dear husband and tell him that I have no idea and don't care.....He picks up and takes over. He is an excellent and inventative cook. Whatever he decides to make will be fresh, creative, beautiful and yummy.
