There are days I cook from scratch and days I manage to burn boxed pizza. My youngest son says he'll take the burnt pizza because the other days make up for it. He is the only one in the house that actually pumps his fist in the air and says "Yes!!" when the meal fits his mood.
The more I hear about Trader Joes the more I want one here, do they have really good strong coffee beans too?

Why is everything in packets?
In the supermarket the other day i even seen egg whites and egg yolks in a box already prepared! Is it only me that has a problem with E numbers and additives? I don't like the thought of me becoming so lazy that i would reach for a packet or box of quick and easy food rather than cook it from scratch.
Do i need to chill a bit more?
A little more insight would do me the world of good!!

I actually think we've eaten better since we've been in the US because I don't buy pre-packaged meals.
They say for a healthier diet buy stuff from round the edges of supermarkets and avoid the aisles in the middle.
I do however really like the brown rice that cooks in 5 minutes...

Lazy?
We're worked to death here. The last thing I want to do when I get home is.... anything other than sit like a zombie, and I speak for my Dutch husband as well. He's the one that has actually worked in a country where employees are treated decently.
I used to love to cook and have the cookbooks and kit to prove it, but any love of it has been beaten out of me by sheer exhaustion. On the weekends we're busy doing everything that we can't get done during the week.
I've been keeping up with the garden more lately, but only just.
