With the exception of ice cream, I'm not a big fan of prepared frozen foods. Therefore sometimes I even surprise myself with random purchases of easy, convenient, surely-it's-not-going-to-taste-too-bad foods. This morning I preferred to spend time watering the grass in our yard instead of thinking about the fact that I would become hungry during my work day. The thought didn't cross my mind until I was headed out the door, so I ran to the freezer to grab something on my way out. That's when I discovered my handiest last-minute choice was the box of lean pockets buried at the back of the freezer. There's a reason they had found a place in the back of the freezer. Nevertheless, I grabbed them and off I went. Honestly, I dreaded eating them all morning because I never really like these
cardboard delicacies. But beggars can't be choosers, now can we?! And besides, I'm
generally not hard to please.
I microwaved one (they come 2 per box) up and ate some of it. It was just as bad as I remembered. But I can't stand the thought of wasting food (after all, I do work for an organization that has a food pantry for people in need). Therefore, I left a little half-box treasure in our work freezer for a lucky recipient........
And this is why I'm already looking forward to dinner tonight. And this is also why I need to make a grocery run (avoiding the convenient frozen section, of course).
Do you like prepared frozen foods? Is there anything worth trying that is actually good?
