OK, I see. Sort of a split household with shopping for 2 others as well
as your own. Do you have a spread sheet to keep track of it all? (G)

Good; they can cook to her tastes.

Probably better that way. My folks restocked their freezer after the
remnants of Lee went thru. I understand that the food company's building
took a water hit so they had to move out and move out all the stock that
was still safe/good. So, the sales guys hit up their regular big time
buyer customers (including my parents) who now have more prepared meats
and meals than they really need. But, if it saves Mom work in the
kitchen, I guess I shouldn't fuss too much. Just that those meats are so
loaded with sauces & stuff that make them higher calorie than needed. I
guess part of that is to cover up the fact that they're not the top of
the line quality.
