Yesterday, in preparation for dinner, I tenderized and marinated some steaks and boneless chicken breasts for the grill. By 3:00PM my wife told me that she and a couple of her friends would be going out to dinner. My middle son was going to a friend's house and my older son and daughter would be babysitting the nine year old, Down Syndrome son of one of the women going out tonight with my wife.

I didn't feel like making the dinner just for me, so I'llmake it later today with roasted potatoes and carrots, and baked beans between football games. My wife said she will make ziti and broccoli in oil and garlic, which is outstanding.

Anyway, last night as I had the house to myself for a while, I was thinking about getting a deli sandwich or Chinese, but settled for a frozen dinner I found in the freezer: Boston Market meat loaf. It was okay.
