Low key is good. You should talk to Dan about the continental spread his work used to provide, but has since nixed on account of the recession. It's really ruining his lifestyle. And yes, anything is better than "Human Delight." I have a new favorite though that I'm pretty sure doesn't involve cats: Golden Dragon in Alexandria. My favorite dish is "Shredded Beef with Green Peppers and Parsley." I use quotes because that's what it's called on the menu, but instead of green peppers, it is served with asparagus and apparently "parsley" to the Chinese is actually "cilantro." The first time I ordered it, I got a big kick out of that. Now I take pride in ordering it and feeling ahead of the curve because I know what I'm really going to get. Haha, I love it.

Here's a day in the dana diet: - Morning: Take oatmeal package from my company's pantry. Make tea in one of those machines where you hit a button (no real tea bags involved) -Afternoon: Buy a small soup or half a sandwich from one of the generic places in the bland square that spans 53 - 59 st btw park and 5th...immediately regret it -Evenings: sometimes a bowl of life cereal, sometimes i'm too lazy even for that So keep your chin up about the frozen chinese food. At least in that you can see the ingredients, unlike take-out from 'human delight' so yea of course I’m going to comment on this because I just had to let you know that even the effort you put into a frozen meal is 10x more than any meal I prepare.
