Chicken Dinner



Tonight I decided to make this dinner. I recently discovered the convenience of frozen dinners- it's the convenience of fast food without the cost or travel. Lovely, completely. Anyway, I didn't realize these chicken breasts weren't cooked when I bought them, which was disappointing but not a deal breaker. First of all, I bought this dinner because it looks amazingly delicious and since I didn't know you couldn't throw it in the microwave, I was very convinced at the good decision to purchase said food item. Well, of course looks can be deceiving, even in marketing (especially in marketing). This said, although I wasn't expecting more, I was impressed at what a different product this turned out to be. This is what it looked like when I was cooking it (this is why they don't pre-cook it, because nobody wants to pull this out of a freezer baggy):





And this is what it looked like on my plate (I should have used a red one and replicated the box picture, but you get the idea):



It was still good, but I wish I could get over the eternal disappointment of not honestly getting what I "believe" I'm buying.

That's all I have for now. I'm off to drive my little .. steal .. of a car to a focus study research project that is paying me $50 to write some letters to Congressmen. You know, I've been trying to think of a name for my car. Maybe I'll call it Jewel because it really has been such a gem. Fitting.
