I didnt even think about frozen meals, but I think there are quite a few
out now that are higher quality. Ill have to take a look at the store
later to see what options I have. Sandwiches are on my list, but those get
boring fast. Im expecting the fridge and freezer to be in place so if
they arent I wont be too happy. Thank goodness my cooktop is built in so
the sellers wont be able to walk off with that. LOL. If all else fails,
theres always the grill.
