any 'meal for one'

especially paired with

Both life-savers for my aged mother whose dementia-struck husband will not eat proper food, and she doesn't always have the energy to cook. Though for wine she buys the mini bottles not the glasses, which I do admit are a bit disheartening. I remember my jaw dropping when I first saw them.

Pig pancreas ...oh no, you can't get that from a supermarket, only online, @jefmcg will understand this

Darn, beaten to it.

It's ridiculous: "microwave from frozen in 3.5 minutes " I could bloody well make one from scratch in that time!

Speaking as an ex teacher, Kids back to school wear at the end of July beginning of August.
These constant reminders I only had 5 weeks holiday left.

WTF is the point of this?

WhoTF eats SMALL slices?

One horizontal cut down the middle of a normal loaf gives you the only slices you need.

Who's that Welsh comedian who uses the four-pack of baking potatoes story in his show? He's arguing with the supermarket guy about how he only wants one potato but can't find them in loose from in the store and is holding four-pack. Staff member says, "That's how they come sir." He replies,"No, it's not, you bloody did that!"

Bags of chopped onions

Some elderly or people with limited hand use require more prepped food than others.

Have to say I'm with grated cheese/carrots/whatever. Run that one by me again, you're too bone idle to grate your own cheese?

See my post above

I would need to buy leftovers, cos I don't think I've ever had any to put in the fridge for the next day, anyway.
