God bless you and the mothers of the world. I've no idea how you do it. <blockquote>the only way to eat asparagus is grilled with a little olive oil and salt.

But I stock up on canned/frozen foods too for that odd time when I'm just too damn lazy to cook.

Could I do it? What about pasta, I wonder. I make a lot of pasta salads with fresh produce, but the pasta is from a box. With 3 boys (make that 4) in the house, I buy a lot of meat in bulk and freeze the extra. Could I still do that? There are some weird chemicals in preserved food, not to mention high fat and salt content, so I cringe whenever I add them to my grocery cart.
