    1. My tasty dinner

    3. Dear Folks, It's time for me to trundle off to bed. I'm certainly tired enough but my brain refuses to let me go until I tell you a bit of a story. It has to do with the tasty dinner I had this evening. By dinner time I certainly had enough of an appetite but I just didn't have enough inspiration to figure out what I wanted to thaw out for an entree, a starch and a vegetable. As a result, I took the easy way out--a frozen TV dinner. This past week when I went grocery shopping I noticed that they had Banquet TV dinners on sale for $1.00 each. Now you can't beat the price. I learned years ago that Banquet has very tasty frozen fried chicken so I thought I'd throw caution to the winds and buy three of the dinners. Tonight as I contemplated which one of the dinners I wanted to heat up, I spied the one that had intrigued me. The entree consisted of formed pork "ribs" in a barbeque sauce. Generally I shy away from anything with a barbeque sauce because the sauce tends to be toooo sweet. But at the same time I remembered that back in the early 1980s when I was a drilling Reservist in Buffalo, we were served something similar to that for lunch. And I loved it! Therefore, I thought I'd give it a try. And do you know what? It was delicious! The sauce wasn't too sweet at all and had a definite tang of tasty hickory smoke. The mashed potatoes and the corn with it, were just fine. When I scraped up the last smidgen of the sauce with my remaining mashed potatoes, I sighed with contentment. Hey, not a bad dinner for only $1.00! vee
