What did you eat today?
I made a dozen turkey sandwiches and assembled an equal number of extra special food bags, which I'll be distributing in an hour or so.
Yum
odd thing about that is I love raw oysters, so you'd think once you learn to love that you'd 'go for' the sushi idea right away
I picked up a 55 inch tv yesterday so I'll be setting it up for today's three NFL games- none of which thrill me.
I am that guy. Unfortunately in our household we have declared that gravy is almost never to be made. Eating a lot of gravy is very similar to eating a lot of bread , same ingredients. Then you put it on more bread. It's crazy unless you burn 4000+ calories a day.

Of all the things that Colonel Sanders made, to him his gravy was the most important. In the early days he would travel around to the few KFC franchises there were in a Cadillac and the first thing he would do was test the gravy and if it was not up to his standards he would close the restaurant until it was. He felt that gravy was everything in a meal.
I totally agree. The last thing I make is my gravy and I make it with turkey broth and spiced rum and it's wonderful. The heat cooks all the alcohol off and what's your left with is the subtle sweet taste of the spiced rum.
The dinners come with microwave-only directions, and in seven minutes, I had an attractive-looking lasagna that smelled like NY lasagna. NY-style lasagna is gooier and messier. It might be the best-frozen lasagna I've had, but I prefer the fresh stuff I'm getting from Cook Unity.
In a head-to-head comparison, CU's lasagna is 16 ounces, and Ramsey's is 11. CU has more meat and pasta while Ramseys is cheesier. CU is $11 a serving, Ramsey is under $7. A for taste, B for value.
Quote: billryanI've been hearing good things about Gordon Ramsey's line of frozen dinners, so I picked up a couple to try. most of the line is offered in single serving dishes, but lasagna has a single dinner or a Lovers dish, which is two servings in a box for more than double the price.

You read article after article after article on how processed food is killing people, literally killing them. Things like anything Gordon Ramsay makes in a frozen dinner. It's killing people because as the post above proves people have no interest in a healthy diet. They will shove anything they can and want into their pie hole and expect nothing but the best to come from it. It's really quite amazing.

Why would you call his dinners processed food? Freezing something doesn't make it processed.

It's the ingredient list that makes it a processed food. Freezing has nothing to do with it. Every ingredient on this list has itself been processed and the ingredients it was processed with we're also processed. You have no idea what you're eating.
This is not to be confused with what I had yesterday: freshly cooked turkey breast (well, an entire turkey was cooked, but all I had was breast meat), some actual mashed potatoes, and some mac & cheese.
Or what I am planning on having tomorrow: homemade six-cheese pepperoni and sausage pizza.
Now that I am a Las Vegan and have WinCo and its wonderful bulk bins available to me, I can experiment with different kinds of beans and rice. Grains and spices too.
It's pretty much the pasta and cheese dish I usually make, except it uses cream cheese instead of ricotta and has a package of powdered ranch dressing mixed in. The recipe calls for elbow noodles, but I'm using rigatoni. It's a one-pan dish that you then bake until golden brown. I had it a few weeks ago at an American Legion clambake and found it interesting.
Not nearly as bad as that frozen/thawed/refrozen/rethawed stuff I got in South Dakota a while back, the rice texture was decent.
The overall flavor was mild.
The sodium content was low, which is good, as I've been feeling too salted lately. The calories were pretty low, too.
I don't particularly recommend gas station sushi, but it was way better* than the sodium laden hot bar fried chicken that put me in the hospital last year.

I had a gas station cheesesteak from Wawa. I know the east coasters love their Wawa but this sandwich was average at best.

Given my choice between Wawa, Sheetz, and Rutter's, I'm taking Rutter's every time.
If there is a Jimmy John's (or Milio's) conveniently nearby, then forget Rutter's.
