Just reach into the freezer and pick what you want. Heat and eat. No mess and no waiting for dinner. Works just as well at home.
It’s just the way one is raised, if it doesn’t go in a wok, skillet Or air fryer. It doesn’t go on our table. All beef is rare, chicken seared in a hot wok, and fish air fried. Raised in a southern household, microwave not allowed in our family.

My mom still won’t have one in her house. Leftovers goes back in a cast iron to make hash. But we all have bacon grease on our stove.

We moved here from the Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Washington. Mc Cafe and Dunkin and other so called coffee places would not last a week back home. Starbucks is minimally acceptable as they offer several diffent roasts and varieties. A good coffee shop should offer several varities of coffee as well as roast levels. Seems most places here offer medium roast Columbian coffee which is like ordering vanilla ice cream at Mystic ice cream. I like a sumatra coffee because of its low acidity, sometimes I like it roasted dark and I like that burnt flavor. But if I'm just relaxing and enjoying a cup of coffee I like a real light roast . It's great in the afternoon as the caffine level is higher in a lighter roast. The flavor is more subtle almost like a tea, but so much better. Beans lose flavor extremly fast after grinding so grinding fresh is a must. Anyplace that uses coffee out of a can or pre-ground is not serving great coffee. How coffee is prepared is very important. For an individual cup you definitly want poured over coffee, This is very common in most coffee houses in Oregon/Washington. Second most common is a french press.
I have found one very good coffee cafe in the area. "The coffee snob" in Leesburg is the closest place my wife and I have found that serves excellent coffee and sells a variety of beans and roast levels

We are slowly transitioning away from Dunkin donuts coffee when at home to in home brewing and getting beans and grinding them ourselves as the easiest way to save money with coffee. . .

driving the car to get cheap coffee seems like alot of work (and hidden expense) instead of just filling a pod and popping it in the single serve coffee maker at home. . .
