He sounds like a good man. My mom was such a mediocre cook that we looked forward to those foil trays! I am still hooked on the Swanson fried chicken. My wife grimaces every time I pop those puppies in the oven.

Salisbury Steak was my favorite. Fried Chicken was 2nd.

I hated it when the vegetables oozed into the dessert.

LOL - the fruit tart thingy was tolerable, but the chocolate "brownie" would ooze sauce onto everything else.
