Sunday was spent with The Pony, downloading TurboTax on my new laptop, and just hanging out. We ate frozen Chinese dinners for lunch. I didn't really want to cook by the time Farmer H came home from his SUS2.5, so I'd told him in advance he was getting a frozen Hungry Man dinner. I asked what kind he wanted. He said Salisbury Steak, or Meat Loaf.
The selection in Country Mart did not include a Salisbury Steak. But it DID have a Grilled Beef Patty, which looked better than the Meat Loaf. They had the same side dishes. So I took the Grilled Beef Patty dinner, because that was the first kind Farmer H mentioned.
I took out the box to read the directions. It could be microwaved or put in the oven. I figured that it was easier to put it in the oven while Farmer H was driving The Pony home. It would be done right as he returned.
It looked like just what Farmer H wanted. Hamburgers in gravy, with mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. He had even seen the box, and according to The Pony, who showed it to him, he said, "Yum."
Well. Little did he know what was inside. I almost felt sorry for him!
Where's the BEEF? Those are the tiniest patties I have ever seen! They are the size of breakfast sausage patties! Nowhere near the depiction on the package! I don't think the brand Hungry Man is supposed to mean the man will still be HUNGRY after eating it!
At least there was a plentiful amount of the mixed vegetables. And mashed potatoes. Farmer H said the patties were pretty thick. So there's that. He also said it tasted good.
I did not ask if he would choose this meal again.
