I tried those recently. The peppers were too overcooked for me. Maybe it's
just what I'm used to. My mom always made hers with raw peppers and I do the
same.
Once in a while I buy frozen taquitos or a Mexican meal. The Mexican meals
aren't so easy to find and aren't always cheap. I also buy a few OnCor
meats. Not because they're good. But because they're cheap. We don't eat
those often. Perhaps once a month if that.

I did buy frozen peas when I made chicken and noodles. But I don't like to
eat frozen vegetables as is.
