Today's Lunch is what I was supposed to have yesterday until the hostage situation arose: Marie Calendar's Breaded Chicken Parmesan. Besides being tasty, with actual recognizable vegetables, it's a fairly generous amount of food (as frozen entrees go)and it should be at 650 calories.
What I noticed today, however, is that Marie Calender's: 1)has supposedly been around since 1948 -- and this will require investigation because inquiring minds with low tolerance of advertising BS want to know; and 2)is actually part of ConAgra Foods.
I don't know anything bad about ConAgra, but it sounds so coldly and unappetizingly corporate. I mean, would you go to a restaurant named "ConAgra"? They also make Healthy Choice, Orville Reddenbacker, Hunts and Chef Boyardee, among a dozen or more other brands. Which is just kinda weird to me. Does this mean Marie, Betty Crocker and Chef Boyardee all get together to have drinks? Is there perhaps some fiddle-faddle going on between Orville and Peter Pan? And just where does that innocent little Swiss Miss fit into this sordid little family?
