Forgive my slowness in all things human
when it comes to thinking outside the box. These days, it takes me a
lot of time to force my mental neurons to jump those damnably wide
synapses. (Perhaps a product of increasing age. I'm still
intelligent...it just takes me longer to demonstrate it)! Yet, today,
something clicked as I was preparing my evening 'meal'.
For years, I've contented myself with
one of two mealtime approaches, where TV dinners were concerned. I
either bought a cheap one and suffered substandard taste or saved my
money and opted for the likes of Healthy Choice, a much more elevated
dining experience where good taste is somehow married to even better
nutrition! A rare thing that!

But, then it hit me! (Funny how
necessity really may be the Mother of Invention)! One afternoon,
while basking at home under the light of Emperor Obama's awesome New
Republic, I decided to go to the store where I bought myself a
Banquet Pepper Steak meal for just ninety-seven cents! A true cheap
meal deal where added salt subs really well for taste. Anyway, a buck
was all I had to splurge on dinner that day.
After viewing this meal prior to
microwaving, I elected to try and get it arranged on a plate as
opposed to eating the slop right out of the tray. It then came to me
that I also had some extra corn and a small baked potato in the
fridge.... hmm, why not add them to the party, I thought. The end
result was much more appeasing to the eye as I think you will agree.
And, at under 500 calories, not a diet breaker!
