Posted at the behest of mikelkpoet:
I ate BOTH quesadillas in the Smart Ones box for lunch yesterday, mostly because it made me mad that the instructions on the box said (it is a Weight Watchers product, remember) "Remove one quesadilla. There are two servings in this package. PUT THE OTHER QUESADILLA BACK IN THE PACKAGE AND RETURN TO FREEZER."
And like the obedient little person I am, I followed directions. At first. But back at my desk, I kept thinking about it and how I was still hungry. Finally, I went back and got the other one and told the box, "You're not the boss of me." I felt much better.
Think they can tell us what to do. Hmph. Not today. I vote for CHANGE.
The directions should say, "Hey, beautiful! Have you lost weight? These are frozen. Microwaving will zap all of the calories right out of them, so scarf down the whole box. And then have the rest of those Reese's cups in your desk drawer. Live a little. You work too hard, anyway."
It's thinking like this that makes my weight easier to watch every day. I mean, it's all right there.

I don't think many folks know that he wrote "The City of New Orleans" (not even sure that's what it's called). And "Alice's Restaurant" is a total masterpiece.
And sweet Arlo did record City of New Orleans, his only big commercial hit that was oddly enough written by someone else--Steve Goodman. Steve was wonderful and died too young.
I'm so sorry.
Just kidding.
Ironically, I noticed on WW that I could eat more food volume-wise when I didn't eat any frozen meals. I spent months eating them and being kinda hungry all day before I started to pack my own lunches. I went with the all-you-can-eat veggies plus a little meat and beans wrapped in a 0-1 point tortilla. Or, if I needed something pre-made, I brought soups or one of those Amy's tamale pies (2 points, I think). Popcorn, too, if you like it. And apples! Or, if you want something junky tasting in a good way, fat free hotdogs.
That's balls.

And no, a freakin' quesadilla box - a frozen quesadilla box no less, is not the boss of ANYONE and you can tell it I said so.
Oh Oh, I am thinking of all those curly haired folk singers out there who have not as yet lost their hair.
Thank you also for pointing out that Steve Goodman wrote "City of New Orleans" Of course he wrote so much more but this is one he is most remembered for.
