I can almost always get myself up for cooking a nice dinner. I always seem to have a file of untried recipes, and while the majority of them are not worth special mention, there is always the hope that the next one will be something to cherish, something to hold on to, something to share with friends at a later time.
Lunches are another matter.
One of my favorites is Chinese Fried Rice if I have a bit of leftover beef or chicken, but, truth to tell, that is a rarity. As a result, unless I plan to have a little left over, all that I cook for dinner simply vanishes, and I am left with an unpromising frig by noon the next day. I was thinking about that as I walked by the Frozen Food section at the supermarket the other day, and it occurred to me that frozen dinners might be an answer. They are generally small in size - 9.5 ounces seems to be a favorite weight, and heaven knows they are easy. I have seen the television commercials - slender young things who would forgo almost anything for the latest low fat entre, etc., etc., etc., and it seemed to me worth a try.
