    Hot Pockets? You are a chef. I imagine that is going over like a ton of bricks. Do you have a buddy from the food business that can fix you up till you get on your feet? (at least part time) Your wife might not be a cook, but she can do either pick up or delivery. I suspected she may not be a cook. It seems like there is only room in the house for ONE chef...LOL. I understand. I'm not into cooking these days. My aunt however would fix you up, if you lived near her. Unfortunately she lives in Big D. She isn't a chef, but she makes the kind of food that would cheer you up. Plus, cooking is a hobby for her.
    I would say for you to give your wife some pointers and training, but that might be a disaster. Things could go badly in a very short time. I eat cheap food these days. I never even go to the meat department at the grocery store. The price is just staggering. If I lived near you though, I would cook you some meals. It won't be up to your standards for sure, but it beats McDonald's!!!
    KK , most chef's are hard to please only in the food they prepare professionally , there has been countless times in 4 and five star restaurants surrounded by the best of everything that we've sent out for pizza or roast beef poboys . My favorite meal is one I don't have to cook for myself . Right now the only thing better than a smothered pork chop with mashed potatoes and gravy is two smothered pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy .:)

    Ewwww. I hate hot pockets. There's some sort of aftertaste that runs through the entire product line regardless of what's supposedly in them. I can say that though about most frozen food. I would say that Marie Callender is perhaps the best of a bad lot, and they're often on sale.
    Tabasco makes everything edible . :evil:

    Haven't seen Hot Pockets in this house since John was a teeneager. And yesterday was his 39th Birthday (HB Urlacher78).
    vaping some Black & Blue in a P67 / Strike combo. Chak turned me on to this flavor. It is a tasty vape, but a little melancholy when I think about it...

    I don't eat much Tabasco around here. I like it on Hot Wings, or fried chicken livers though. My son loves the stuff. He had a whole collection of it in my fridge. It is so hot you can't taste the food, so it masks the taste of bland food well...like MILITARY ready to eat meals. I like Tabasco peppers on my peas, and sometimes beans. I go pretty light with it though. When I was in the military we used to eat at the Feather & Fin. That is where I used to use the hot sauce on the fried chicken livers. For some reason I liked it. (after boot camp food though, you can eat just about anything)

    And that right there is why I never became a chef. I've always been at home in the kitchen from the time I was young, it's my happy place, that place where all the world's problems disappear and it's just me and what I can create. I love it.

    People used to tell me I should start a catering business or otherwise take this thing I excel at and turn it into my living, but I always felt if I did that it would take all the joy and peace out of it and turn it into another chore..

    I am sorry that you've no one to cook for you... but, frozen pizza has its own charms... lol. Not always sure what they are except for something you don't have to cook yourself though. . HAhahaha

    Hey your talking about 95% of my diet here. And I'll have you know the frozen foods are a lot better than they use to be. If you know how to adjust the cooking times...

    That ought to be interesting. :)

    She's a great kid. Having an extra has been a little tough on the budget, but I wouldn't change it now, even 13 months later. She was enduring mental and physical abuse, and we couldn't stand by and watch.
    So far they are still 'together' but we've made it clear that she is not our son's responsibility; we made that commitment, not him.

    Good Morning Army. Another Monday has arrived. My Ravens played well again. They really are messing up their chances for a top-ten pick in next year's Draft.
    Supposed to turn colder this week. Winter will soon be here...

    Have a Safe and Blessed Day :)
