so I had $10, thank god for that. Bought a premade Shepards pie from Costco. Also known as cottage pie. Well the premade versions are exquisite from Costco. I don't know but I think the salt content made me want to eat the whole thing. Luckily half was done before I got to it, it also was reheated so I was left with a mush, man I have to say this was fantastic, the potatoes , carrots, peas and what seems to be some sort of ground meat mean a good meal for me that day. The day after was a healthy poop and a satisfying recognition what I have eaten, so we went back to Costco to get more.
I envisioned a British dominatrix making this for me, or better yet a nice hot lass from Ireland, whatever that fantasy didn't come to fruitition as it was just me and a few beers with my oven, but nonetheless it was a good meal, there's none left and I anticipate I am getting more, if I have the balls I will try to make my own mush version of this in the slow cooker without the pie part.
Follow Ups:
I looked at that a couple of days ago - lots of potential. But no nutritional info on the label so no go home with Goober.
Give me rhythm or give me death!
... Sullage tank.
I'm not into 'pre-made' processed food.
A good strong dominatrix might be good for you. You need somebody to bitch-slap some sense into you.
You're welcome!

...your wife take you to see 50 Shades?
... With a group of her gym-junkie friends. They did drinks and hors d'oeuvre prior to the viewing.
I was not invited nor would I have gone, it is not my cup of tea. I read the book, I didn't need to see the movie.
My mate BH would do good to go on a fresh fruit and fresh vegetable diet for a month. Quit smoking and give up the booze and drugs for a month to purge his system.
It would do him the world of good.

hey man,
I'm not a drug addict, but I do take statins, they supposed to keep me alive.
I stick to beer and tobacco and coffee, I just bought a $3,500 Dunhill pipe, some call me crazy because it is just a "piece of wood" to them :) Smokes like a dream and it does really have an effortless draw :) like cream you can puff.
As far as the dominatrix, I'll beat her behind with the paddle.
... I believe you, however some may not.
I occasionally take some hay fever meds but that is it.
Remember, to some extent, we are what we eat.
I have some expensive collectables so I can't criticize about the pipe but smoking sucks!
I don't let people smoke in my home but I hardy know anybody who actually still smokes. I wonder why?
Make sure you paddle her behind to the beat.

...about BH.
He seems like a nice guy but alone and self-medicating.
1. build living room oasis where I can hide from the outside world when I don't have to work (check)
2. retire early so I can live in the living room oasis and can hide from the outside world and don't have to work (working on it)

...to be pretty good.
Roasted whole chickens are the best
Ribs are excellent
Chicken pasta in white sauce
Chicken enchiladas - not too spicy (add your own)
Large cheese raviolis in meat sauce are like a lasagna
Meat loaf and mashed potatoes
Beef Stroganoff (not the one with ground beef)
Have not tried shepherd pie.
they know a good cooking food.
BH, your food photos are much better than your stereo system photos. ;)Next challenge: Make your own "from scratch" hamburger cassorole.

"Have you a water buffalo?"
Salt is cheap flavor.
Enjoy.
I find some of Costco's prepared dishes OK for the price. Chicken pot pie is another example. One complaint is that the salt was overdone in both pies I've tried. Another goody is their pizza, both eaten there and frozen take-home....as long as you're not a pizza snob. The Costcos by me have what appears to be an NC pizza sauce applier machine so that part is quite consistent.
I like the chicken pot pie from Costco, but I'd like it a lot better with about half the salt, from both a health and taste standpoint. For one thing, they are huge, so they also rate high on the kg/$ scale.
I don't know why salt continues to rise in processed foods. We know medically there is a good number for daily sodium intake. Just a mere 2oz of a ham I saw in the store yesterday was 690mg of sodium! Basically a third of your recommended sodium intake. I've seen bratwurst that were 900mg each. I saw a can of Thai Soup that could easily be eaten by one person that they called 3 servings each with 1000mg!
I don't know the sodium level on the products you mentioned but surely they are high. I know the advantages to the company for using the higher levels but it is really getting ridiculous.

...salt, sugar and fats will continue to dominate the lower cost foods of America. The average American craves this stuff and corporate America is willing and able to satisfy the crave.
I think it's the other way around. Food companies did extensive research and testing and found out what foods would be consumed most by humans and even found there is an addictive element like with other substances consumed by humans.

...I say the crave was there first and the food corporations simply learned how to exploit it. I suppose in the end ones perspective on the matter is heavily influenced by whether or not believes a person is ultimately responsible for their own actions.
"...salt, sugar and fats will continue to dominate the lower cost foods of America. The average American craves this stuff and corporate America is willing and able to satisfy the crave."
I understand your train of thought.
This is a key point: WHO is responsible for teaching kids how to eat well?
I submit that it is the parents.
:)
I completely agree 51 however we cannot overlook the dominance of processed food today vs say those of us that grew up in the 50's,60's and 70's where meals were cooked from scratch, not just reheated like so many processed foods today.Also today the percentage of meals eaten at home vs at restaurants has totally changed and this plays a huge role too. I don't just mean fast food but its salt and fat content are terrible. Almost all restaurants provide meals that are way too high in calories and many other things for the vast majority of the humans they serve.
So you combine those two factors and add the bombardment of advertising that has made the two above facts a reality today and you see its a big challenge. Never has trying to eat healthy been a challenge for the majority. As to the poor they are really behind the 8 ball. Their choices both financially and geographically put them further behind the 8 ball. Poor neighborhoods are often called food deserts because often the closest grocery store with good foods, a meat department, fresh fruits and vegetables is miles away. I know you won't agree on some of these points but they are true.
Would you like to comment on what has happened to the American Indian starting in the mid 20th century? Their rates of Diabetes are staggering, much higher than any other segment of the population. Also there are many factors at play for them that have their roots in economics.
Oh and I'd say 25-50% of parents are clueless or incapable for one of many reasons to "teach" their kids anyway.

I had one of those Costco hot dogs, I drove it home from and re-warmed it, it was damn good.
Not bad stuff at all, although I do want to get a deep freezer for my basement when they have sales on meat, you can't beat some of their prices when they are on sale, but you do have to buy a lot of it. A buddy of mine takes the huge meat servings and individually makes separate air tight packets for 1 and 3 meals from everything. You can literally go there for 1 day, stock up on meat and be good for the entire year.
They served pot pie, outta site, he volunteered it was from Costco. They're seasonal. I guess this is the season. We bought a couple of Steak and Ale Meat Pies from Trader Joes last week. Fantastic for store bought. Crust was generous, completely enveloped the meat and goodies inside and didn't "leak" during baking. And, it was sooooo crusty. Meat was real slices of beef, not ground, and melt in yer mouth tender with zero gristle or fat.
BTW, the Shepard's pie looks pretty good too!

do a 1+ on everything they make. I have to say they do a good job there, also if you are in the market for, their seafood is top notch. Not bad.
