That could be. I also don't get the Dinner's Ready or Dream Dinners
concept. My mom tried to tell me that I would love it if I was working. I
don't know why she would think that. You still have to drive there. You

And then you have to take them out and cook them. Not something I would be
willing to do in any way, shape or form.
