There's a local woman who makes and delivers meals. Her enchiladas looked
really good the other day but... I can make all of what she makes and I can
make it for less. She doesn't seem to do very complicated things. She's a
young person and it would seem that most of her customers are young too.

The ones that really get me though are the ones like Dream Dinners and
Dinners Ready. You drive there and assemble however many meals you want,
using their seasonings and precut meats and veggies. You can customize them
a bit by leaving things out. Not sure if you can use extra of other things.
But then you bring the assembled things home, put them in your freezer and
heat as needed.

My mom tried to insist that if I were working, I would LOVE such a thing. Oh
no, I would not. I see no point whatever. They're not delivered to you. You
have to go there and get them. Then freeze and reheat. One of my friends
does the Dream Dinners and somehow gets them to assemble them for her. When
I looked at the website, there was no such option. But you still have to go
get them! There is no appeal to me whatever.
