Premade Home Cooking

Coming home (well, to my temporary and very comfortable home - thanks Carl!) this afternoon, I knew that while I didn't want to cook anything, I really wanted something 'home-cooked'.  So of course I stopped off at this little convenience/grocer store in the middle of the student ghetto that carries a variety of vegan/vegetarian/gluten-free/soy-filled/ethnic/local stuff not normally found at regular groceries.  Because in addition to all that (over-priced) product, they also carry The Village Kitchen line of prepared meals.

The store caters to students who have too much of Daddy's money in their pockets, so can afford to stock the better quality stuff.  And these prepared meals are really good.  It's all good ingredients, prepared well, and frozen, so all you need to do is warm it up and it's done.

I picked up some split-pea w/ham soup, and boy is it ever good!  Usually with these sort of meals, there's either not enough or way too much salt, but this is absolutely perfect, with just the right amount of salt and spices, and big chunks of pork.

It's maybe a little on the expensive side (I paid about $7 for 2 servings), but not that bad for good quality and tasty food.  Definitely worth trying some of their other products.  It's a shame I'm moving back to Manitoba soon!  :(

Poor Carl.  I was going to leave him some, but I may wind up eating it all myself!

Hitchhikers Guide to the Thesis

Listening to the radio broadcast of the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy makes reformatting my thesis and triple-checking references and citations much more bearable. 

Or maybe it's the wine.

Heh, smug doors.  Oh Marvin, I adore you.
