Heh.

That's what I did last weekend when I cooked dinner for my Sister, BIL,
and Dad.

My home-made scalloped potatoes absolutely rock, and if I made them I
would have eaten some for sure. So I went to the grocery store and
bought the most revolting "au gratin" potatoes I could find. Guaranteed
that *I* won't touch them, but everyone else thinks that there is
nothing wrong with packaged stuff.

Makes it easier to keep the carbs out of my mouth when I can do that.
