Food was not on my agenda when I married Sara 50 years ago. Since then, Sara demonstrated that cooking is not one of her better points. She kept trying with many disastrous results.
In recent years, supermarkets and warehouse clubs have come to town with their freezers and shelves full of wonderful prepared dishes I haven't seen for years.
Sara is preparing the good things from the instructions on the package. The markets have saved our marriage.
Bless the markets.
