Thanks for the response, Joerg; it's certainly a somewhat different view than
I'm used to. I'm still thinking those $0.99 frozen dinners are cheaper, but I
will pay some more attention next time I'm at a grocery store and try to make
a valid comparison.


Also, take a close look at the nutritional value of that $0.99 frozen
dinner. But sit down before you do ;-)

This week's specials as an example:

Pork loin for $2.28/lbs or sirloin steak for $3.47/lbs is certainly not
something you can find at any fast food place. You've got to cook your
own. Else it'll get really expensive or people will have to settle for
pre-pressed patties from who-knows-where, topped with cheese where the
saturated fats make the cholesterol reading peg.

Even if in a rush I'll barbeque. Just take vellum pad and pencil to the
barbie, of the whole laptop if you must. With some practice it's as easy
as keeping the wood stove going.
