I have not eaten a frozen meal since I was married to my first wife
and the extent of her culinary talents consisted in choosing the
Stouffer's selection for the evening meal, then heating it in the
oven.

Since I retired, we eat at home more often. In the last couple of
years, our dining out consisted mostly of stopping by a pho house
on the walk home, especially when the weather was abysmally cold
during the most recent bus strike.

Since I went on Weight Watchers (because it's more fun if you
watch), I have cooked most meals. We have gone out four times in
five weeks. And it's not that we can't afford it.

Yesterday, I made a mushu pork in the crock pot.
