Love a good carrot cake. There used to be a frozen oblong carrot cake by Oregon Farms brand in the grocers freezer that was good. My Mom would buy it for company and defrost it.

I remember the Oregon Farms carrot cake, it was delicious, and I've love carrot cake ever since. Though I've noticed that for some reason, most carrot cakes come with incredibly sweet icing.
 
/\ Bakeries use sugar to try to cover up the fact that they skimp on the cream cheese.

Carrot cake is nothing special without good cream cheese frosting. Do it right or forget it.
 
^This reminds me that I've been wondering recently if they don't use sugar in bread to cover up the problems of mass produced bread...

Around the holidays Costco carries Cheesecake Factory Cheesecake in the freezer section. It is pre-sliced and costs about $14 so just over a dollar a slice.

Each year I will buy one and the wrap up the pieces individually and put them back in the freezer. That way I can take out 1 at a time when I am crazing cheesecake. Is it as good as fresh made restaurant cheesecake? No. But it is pretty damn good and satisfies the urge.

I've had the Cheesecake Factory from Costco. Very good. I think Costco has their own cheesecake that was good as well. (y)

Yes.I had a beautiful pumpkin roll from a bakery and the icing inside tasted like shortning and way too much confectioners sugar.

A good approach. Freezing dessert items has been suggested to me as a way of having them without eating too much at once, but I have wondered if there still wouldn't be too much temptation knowing "I have ____ in the freezer."

I love the Costco cheesecake - but the frozen pre-sliced keeps from having cheesecake for breakfast - lunch and dinner all on the same day!
 
Today was Chinese food.
Pork Fried rice, Chicken Fingers and Boneless spareribs.

Fuck making a sauce on Wednesday, I'll make in on Friday.;)
 
Yet another Amy's frozen dinner. This time it was Roasted Coconut & Sweet Potato Curry.

At this rate of regularly having Amy's, it would be nice if they named the next expansion of their factory after me. :lol:
 
I have some vegetable soup cooking in a slow cooker. It has not been a terribly productive day, but at least I got my lazy rear in motion long enough early enough to get that soup started.

It will be interesting to see how it turns out. I miscalculated, and I ran out of space in the crock before I ran out of stuff I wanted to put in.

I probably have said this before... But I have fond memories of the vegetable soup my mother made in her pure 1970s West Bend slow cooker. I remember roughly how it was done, but I have had no luck creating something that lives up to those memories. False memories? Changing taste? Or there is something I have forgotten that is critical?
 
^I think I have something that claimed to be a Croque Monsieur maker in some dark corner of a kitchen cabinet. It was one of those fun thrift shop finds in the 1990s that I bought and have never used... One of these days, I need to start clearing out kitchen stuff that I don't use...
 
The vegetable soup turned out well, although still not what I remember my mother making.
 
/\ It's too bad that you can't nail it, but it wouldn't surprise me to find that it's a very simple matter of food not being as good as it used to be. So much, maybe everything, has been terribly manipulated/engineered for quantity and to hold up for shipping.

Young people of today will never experience the good food we used to enjoy, so they won't miss it the way we do.

Good point. And I have thought that at times, although I'm not sure I've thought it when thinking of this soup.

It would be interesting to try making soup with vegetables from a farmer's market.

I am now getting carrots from a specific store, having found that the quality seems a bit higher. I have to wonder if yesterday's partial success was due to those carrots.

And thinking some more that I might be forgetting or overlooking something... I do recall a time when we were helping my grandmother out after she'd had some health issues. Meals tended to be tailored for my grandmother, which got a bit tiresome, since she her tastes were pretty rigid meat and potatoes towards the end of her life. One day, my mother decided to make soup, and I rejoiced. But she modified her approach to work for a different kitchen, which changes, including doing it on the stove vs. the slow cooker. And it just wasn't the same.
