Last night, we had chili-dogs. Tonight, it's tuna casserole. I'm
starting to like this easy stuff. Why did I originally quit it?

There's not much lower than chili dogs, but tuna casserole is
pretty much rock bottom. Did you have those awful canned
Italian green beans on the side?

I've always liked the occasional tuna casserole.
As a matter of fact, I've got all the ingredients and have
been planning to make it for several weeks now.
It's been many years since I last made it.

I've just been 'cooking lazy' lately.
Today will be a frozen Tombstone pepperoni pizza (store brand)
Only $3.00 for 21.6 oz and very tasty.
Cook in oven, reheat any leftover slices in microwave.

Maybe tomorrow morning I'll start cooking some real food again.

Which chemicals do you add to make it taste "good"?

So have Jill and Joan. You could have a lazy threesome. You
could bring the frozen pizza, and Jill could add some Italian
seasoning. Joan could crumble up one of her air fryer burgers
on top.

There are decent frozen pizzas. Not great, but decent. Tombstone,
or the store brand knockoffs are not good, but that's what you get
for $3.

The only good reason to make tuna casserole is if you want
your husband to take you out to a restaurant, and you don't
have a husband.
H: What's for dinner, honey?
W: Tuna casserole.
H: You know, it's been a long time since I took you out to a
nice restaurant.
The tuna casserole gets fed to the family dog, because a
dog will eat damned near anything. Dogs have been known
to eat the cat shit out of the litter box.

Is it Tombstone or store brand pizza? Can't be both. ;)

You really should try reheating pizza in a dry skillet on low heat with
a lid on. The crust stays firm and the cheese reheats nicely.

I tried that way a few times. It didn't work for me. It is much easier
in the air fryer. Preheat for a couple minutes, put a slice or two in
the basket and give it 4 minutes.

Do not give up hope, oh so disinhearted one.

Have you not noticed recently less death-wishes, &c ?

There are even some people talking about cooking with
others to whom they have not spoken for some time.

This story is food-related because I was getting whipping
cream. I usually try to make small purchases by cash to
minimize the wad of CC receipts in my wallet.

There was one cash-only line open, and the woman looked
to me to be holding the place in line waiting for I
supposed her husband running around the store like OJ
getting something she sent him for earlier, because I
already participated in such scenarios at other times.

So she tells me to go ahead. She could see I already
had the cash and the one item to purchase, so I thanked
her, waltzed in to the cashier and just held the cream
for scanning and the cash.

I was not expecting any query from the cashier, but I
was attentively listening. What I heard was from the
lady who had been ahead the one described above:

"That woman really bothers me."
