Yes, the "stuff" (harking back to the subject) I've seen advertised at
Publix does have to be cooked once you get it home. They're sold in
"oven bags". The time saver, I suppose, is not having to chop veggies
and figure out the side dish. These oven bagged seafood things I've
seen advertised usually include rice or barley or some sort of grain
and vegetables. Pop them in the oven for 30 minutes. I've never
thought about buying one.

I couldn't tell you the price because the Publix web site actually wants
me to fill out an order form before it tells me what it will cost.
Sorry, not going to do that. Apparently these things are made to order.
I suppose that's good. Still not something I'd buy.
