 SD> Yes.  We went out and bought a chest freezer today. :)  We came into
 SD> some extra money and we decided we needed one.  We bought a 5 cubic
 SD> foot freezer for about $180 new at Sam's Club.  No food in it right
 SD> now but we'll be moving stuff out of the small freezer into the chest

That will be right handy when you find sales of stuff, and make up your
"meals in bulk"... :)  When we bought this house 35+ years ago, the
appliances came with it... soon after we moved in, we had to replace the
refrigerator, and the next appliance we bought was an upright freezer. 
The former we had to replace again a year or so ago, but the latter is
still doing well.  We've always had plenty to stow away in it, different
things over the years...

 SD> The salmon steaks came out perfect.  Seven minutes on medium heat on
 SD> the George Foreman and I also made some "mushroom wild rice" from a
 SD> package.  Both Maura and I really liked dinner.  Maura told me that
 SD> she appreciates that I will cook for us (she doesn't do much cooking).
 SD> It's not that bad really--just toss everything in the dishwasher when
 SD> I'm done. 
 SD> I might surprise her and make the "surf 'n turf" tomorrow.  She works
 SD> her "long shift" (nine hours) tomorrow so I'll just clean things up
 SD> and go from there. It's nice to be appreciated for your cooking skills
 SD> even if it is just cooking on a grill. :) 

It's nice to be able to switch off on who is cooking, too... When one is
tired it sure is nice to have someone else do the fussing, however
simple or complex...  ;)  And tis also quite satisfying to make a meal
that turns out nicely...  :)

 NB>> Make it more like a stew, or at least the makings for it...

 SD> Yes, that's what we're considering.  When I pick Maura up from work
 SD> tomorrow, we'll look at the meat section there and see what we find. 

Sounds good... :)
