As I get older I get more laid back/lazy. And I get inventive since I'm
cooking basically for one.

I was at GFS picking up soup bases and a 3# package of bacon when I 
noticed that they had a special offer on Dos Rios Taco Meat. U$1.79
for a 1 pound chub. Three of those went home and into the freezer.

Not my favourite taco filling - but one of the chubs and a 31 oz can
of Old El Paso Refried Beans w/green chilies in the baby crockpot with
a bag of Doritos and some shredded cheese made a decent supper for both
me and Dennis. Leftovers cleaned up and pre-wash done by Jasper, Eva, 
and Izzy (Dennis' grand-dogs).

.... The greatest mistake is trying to be more agreeable than you can be.
