I'm not a big fan either, but I do like it on occasion, plus with DH's spring/summer schedule it's good to have things that you can just pull out of the freezer and bake. Otherwise we end up eating way too much fast food...not that frozen stuff is a whole lot better, but I get tired of fast food, and end up eating it at least a few times a week this time of year.
Those make for some short days.

But like you said, if you know you'll have a few weeks off in between to have all to yourself, it's probably worth it.
