I confess, if the frozen toast includes frozen waffles, I've gotten all of
the above except jarred roux.

Some of this was when I was a kid, age 17 and barely could make hamburger
helper but wanted to try new things (guacamole, cocktail sauce, initial rice
attempts).

I was brought up on packet gravy and still find it useful in a pinch if a
meal doesnt lead to making it's own or I lack time. We arent big on gravy
here except thanksgiving and then, I do the real thing.

Grin, there isnt much dreck I havent at least tried once to find it was
dreck. The difference is, I dont get it *again*.
