Some places I might agree with you, but pretty much the places we
frequent, as long as the food's refrigerated, it keeps pretty well for a
few days...  Dunno about your place... ;)

 JK> I know exactly what you mean there :)  We go through that pretty often

Yeah... hard to begrudge them wholesome food when you know they need it,
after all...  :)  

 JK> Do you ever make your own sauce?  Really not that hard to do if you're

Since I don't do it all that often, I rarely have the materials on hand
any more...  Yes, I used to make my own sauce, but haven't for years
now.  And for the once in a while thing, the Wegmans at $1.99 for the
jar isn't that expensive (might have even been less, cuz I think I used
a MENU coupon, too)... and keeps for ages until I decide to use it.  I
got out of the practice when it became just the two of us to cook for
and schedules got weird... 

 JK> hehe.. overhere, if my son doesn't see the locatelli or parmesan
 JK> grated in a bowl at the dinner table, he asks, "what, no cheese??" Lol 
 JK> He really loves Italian cheese, especially locatelli.

Our kid still loves cheese, of just about any sort... but has convinced
himself that it should be a seldom thing... I 'spect he'll grow out of
it eventually...  :)

 >> ravioli in the freezer from over the holidays - Could be tonight's
 >> dinner if I'm right .. :)
 > And did you?  (nice coincidence... [g])

 JK> Nah, there were some, but not enough for all of us.. but I did find
 JK> some other good things.. Some frozen leftover fried chicken which last
 JK> night I deboned and deskinned, and used for Yangtze Fried Rice with
 JK> Shrimp and those chicken chunks :)  Also found two Italian Sausage
 JK> links and 1 1/2 lbs. hamburger in there, so I'll make a small pot of
 JK> meatballs and sausage sauce today :) 

Buried treasure... ;)
