Tonight's dinner was chicken parmesan with rigatoni ala vodka. Although I prefer veal, this was a delicious substitution. This serving was much bigger than the usual entrees, with two large breasts nicely breaded and seasoned, with a blend of fresh mozzarella and shredded parm. Twelve minutes at 350 degrees had the cheese bubbling and turning brown. Add a salad and some bread, and most people could get two meals out of this.
Even at the full price of $13 a meal, the quality and convenience are well worth it. I'll fill my freezer chest with them at 50% off if they freeze well.

You rich people eat well, I only had two tubes of string cheese.

People eat those? I thought they were dog treats.

Both my dogs and cats like string cheese.

I'm enjoying my Cook Unity meals. Of the various plans I've tried, this comes closest to restaurant quality.
Last night, I had a cowboy steak, hash browns, southwestern corn, and red peppers. At the regular price of $12, it's a bargain, but it's a steal at the extended 50% offer I have for them.

Sounds like Cook County Jail food to be, and if this is as good as the restaurant you eat at please don't make me eat at the same restaurants.

Never been a dumpster diver. There are dumpster diving clubs all over the United States made up mostly of Housewives who go on specific evenings to their local grocery stores and dumpster dive for expired bakery items, grocery items and whatever they can get that is salvageable. Large grocery chains throw away a ton of good food with expired dates and if you know the right time to go to these stores these people do very well. Not my thing..

Oh I got it. I just love it when I veer off in another direction and the other person doesn't see what I'm doing. It's especially fun when you do it in person and they're insulting you and you act like you don't get it. Literally drives them crazy. LOL

You're giving waaaay too much attention and personal commitment to things you really shouldn't to at your age and alleged acquired wisdom. Makes one wonder.
Everything in life is a joke basically and in the end it is all about being good/better and above all - not a resentment driven being. It never works for you, ever.
Don't beat yourself up over past mistakes, you are going to f*** up again in the future, quite possibly in the most spectacular fashion, why worry about yesterday's f*** up's when you have tomorrow's f*** up's to look forward to? You are a f*** up, and f***** up is part of your growth process, embrace the process.

Who says, are you an expert? And what does 'In the end' mean. I know plenty of people who died in their 40s and 50s and that was the end for them. There is no 'in the end' it's just a figment of your imagination. You live your life how you live your life and then you're gone. There's no rules that say once you reach a specific age you're supposed to act in a certain way.

I've been doing a lot of research on CookUnity, as I'm thinking of sticking with them after the promo period. It's almost like getting takeout without the tipping and delivery fees. Getting them delivered and pre-heating the oven to 350 beats the heck out of shopping, prepping, and cleaning up afterward. I kitchen isn't all that large, so space is at a premium. Six-prepared meals take up a lot less space than the ingredients that go into them, and I have no idea what the chef was doing with lime soda and orange juice in a vodka sauce.

Have you read the complaints about this company yet? I have and you're in for a big surprise but I'm not going to tell you. I want you to experience it for yourself. What you see happening right now is not what's going to be happening once you sign up for the long term. Just wait, you'll see. Plus the food is crap, I don't care what you say. It's one or two steps below airline food which is saying something. But because you obviously can't tell the difference between good food and not good food it's probably wonderful to you. I could give my dog, when I had a dog, a can of Dollar Store dog food or a can of Blue Mountain from PetSmart and he couldn't tell the difference. He wolfed it down it was all the same to him.

The rest of your post is just blah blah blah my opinion is better than your opinion. You have no facts, no anecdotes, no metaphors, just that you think your opinion means more than mine does. On the scale where they weigh the cow manure, both our opinions weigh exactly the same. In other words you can take it to McDonald's and give them your opinion and $13 and they will sell you a Big Mac.

I have not read many complaints about them. I'm glad you located them. Please post a link. Mot of the complaints I have read concerned pricing and unwanted shipments that are easy to avoid. So you think they will start sending inferior products after they get me into a long term commitment? You read that somewhere?

Yes, but didn't you say a Bic mac costs $13? That price is for the whole meal. The Big mac is probably around $8.99.

A single McDonald's franchise in a Connecticut rest stop charged $18 for an upsized Big Mac meal. However, using my McDonlds app,I could get a free Big Mac or a free medium-size fry with a $5 meal.

McDonald's corporate page says the average price of a Big Mac across the US is under $6, and the cost of a Big Mac meal is under $9.

Prices will be higher in NYC, California airports, and stadium locations. Most McDonald's are independently owned franchises that can set their own prices on non-sale products.

Breakfast was a KaChava smoothie with almond milk, blueberries, a strawberry, and some metamucil.
I'm starting to push things back a bit. A month ago, I was riding before 6AM. The sun is coming up later, and it was dark at 6. The monsoon season officially ends this week, but storms through September have become the norm. Incredibly, the first of the snowbirds is expected this week.

My first miss with Cook Unity.
Steak with mole sauce and some sort of Mexican grilled veggies with an overwhelming flavor of paprika. One of the purposes of subscribing is to expand my diet, but this was a bridge that was too far. For tonight, I am cooking my own rigatoni and will mix it with their Sunday sauce and ground sausage.

I don't mind cooking. It's the cleanup I detest. Shopping, as well.

My friends came in from Bisbee, and we met up at Tinys, a legendary cowboy bar about twenty miles from town. It's in the middle of nowhere but is always crowded. I had a Western burger: a nice-sized patty, three onion rings, two slabs of bacon, and a slice of onion.
$15 with a 20-ounce draft. It used to come with a generous amount of fries and cole slaw but now you only get one of the two.

take a break from the trolling and get yourself some BLTs while the tomatoes are fresh!

some of the fixings, tomatoes from the garden

I hear a pan bagnat is pretty good, if you want to go up-market. Those tomatoes look lovely.

After an uninspiring attempt to have one of these at Irv's Burgers at the Durango, I went back to the "classic" Chili Cheesectomy (chili cheeseburger, chili cheese dog, chili cheese fries): Wienerschnitzel. It came to almost $20, although to be fair, (a) it included a double burger and bacon ranch chili cheese fries, which added $3 right there, (b) this is what is called "California pricing," presumably to allow for the $20/hour fast food minimum wage, and (c) combined state and local sales taxes are close to 9%.

I don't mind cooking. It's the cleanup I detest. Shopping, as well.

My friends came in from Bisbee, and we met up at Tinys, a legendary cowboy bar about twenty miles from town. It's in the middle of nowhere but is always crowded. I had a Western burger: a nice-sized patty, three onion rings, two slabs of bacon, and a slice of onion.
$15 with a 20-ounce draft. It used to come with a generous amount of fries and cole slaw but now you only get one of the two.

I enjoy grocery shopping but my wife rarely lets me.

I usually have a smoothie for breakfast, but I bought a couple of breakfasts from Cook Unity to see how they were. The first was a chorizo burrito that was okay but a bit spicy for my taste. Today was a scrambled egg platter with turkey sausage, bacon, hash browns, and roasted cherry tomatoes. I'd never had roasted tomatoes, and I don't think I'll try them again.
The portion looked small but was quite filling. I'll stick to their main courses.

I need someone to test my clean-up idea. Buy 7 days of dishes, and leave the plates outside for ants, birds, etc. to do the majority of the cleaning. Keep a rotation going, so you put one out each day, and bring the 7 day old one in.

Then just a light cleaning needed. Theoretically.

I didn’t put a lot of effort into thinking this up.

You first and let us know how it goes.

I never have any cleanup because I clean as I go along. As soon as I get done with a pan I clean it. As soon as I'm done eating I clean what I just used. When I'm done everything looks exactly like I did when I started. I don't own a dishwasher and I hate the damn things anyway. They're not a dish-washer they're a dish-storer, it's where people stick all their crap so they don't have to look at it until they have enough to wash. Women love them, I've never known a man who lives alone who had a dishwasher. Or if he had one he never used it.

I used my dishwasher when I was single. As you said, it was a good place to hide the dirty dishes.

It depends.
For regular use, generally no.
For the sanitizing cycle during or after an illness, YES.
I may be a bit paranoid about infection.

Believe it or not humanity survived for hundreds of thousands and probably millions of years with no dishwashers and very little hot water. Harmful bacteria does not grow in the time from when you stop eating to when you clean up. If you leave the stuff sit a week, you might get sick. So try not to do that.

Hanger steak with green chile enchiladas and Mexican rice. I customized it by stir-frying the rice and adding duck sauce.
Combined it with the leftover steakhouse salad with crumbled blue cheese. Very satisfying.

Scalding was certainly a known practice, even if the reasoning wasn't particularly understood.
I'm not convinced that the kashering processes weren't originally for disinfection.

In my house I have two chest freezers in the basement and a stand up freezer upstairs so I have every kind of meat that you can just about imagine. I can read a recipe for something and I almost always have all the ingredients on hand. Right now I'm making a greek yogurt white sauce with two kinds of cheese and of course I had all the ingredients.

I use paper plates and plastic utensils, one glass coffee mug, and one turret. No clean up to speak of with the slight exception of cooking paraphernalia. Easy/peasy.

Has nobody put a freezer on a UPS?
Freezers are pretty low power, intermittent draw.
UPS units are stupid affordable these days.
