I can't figure out how I managed to get the score I posted. Now when I try, I'd be lucky to beat brickbatz.

That's too bad about the bagged Asian dish. There's several of the "Innov-asian" and other freezer meals that I guess you thaw out and toss together with some rice for dinner. Generally, the more someone else has had a hand in food, the more it costs, so I tend to stick to the basics.

They forgot the chicken.
I know bell pepper is part of Asian cuisine, but there was too much bell pepper here, and the noodles were stiff and lousy.
Sauce was good, but that's damning the meal with faint praise. I guess the broccoli was good too.
I also think it was somewhat stupid to do a chicken dish to break up the monotony of leftovers.
Either way, it's on the no-rebuy list.

I make raw cranberry sauce with a food processor. Basically a bag of raw cranberries, a whole orange (a thin skinned one like Valencia works better than Navels because the latter have thicker rinds and so add to bitterness). Some additional orange juice (I tend to grab mandarins and juice them until it tastes right) a cup of sugar and run it until it's minced well. Refrigerate. It's really refreshing. And it freezes well.
Carrots are a great addition to lots of dishes, like spaghetti sauce, grated fine -- their sweetness helps counteract the acidity of the tomatoes. Sometimes if I have any left over, I'll throw them in a salad. We added parsnips to the mashed potatoes. They really do something to make them special.
Right now I'm eating some stale Goldfish crackers. Guess I'll toss the rest in the compost.

We did have a minor spillover problem because the breast rolled in its pan. That was fairly unpleasant, but the stove fan took care of it.
I don't think I'll go for a full bird again; this was a lot more convenient.
One substitution we made was because the celery at grocery outlet was terrible, so we sliced carrots razor thin and sauteed that for the stuffing. I think I actually like that better. I mistakenly thought it was part of the cajun trinity, so I knew I could swap it. Turns out it isn't supposed to be carrot, but bell pepper. Whoops!
