A shameful admission.

This week, I have done something that goes against every instinct of my being.

I've used Hamburger Helper for the first time.

I know. Using some kind of boxed mix to whip up a half-assed meal that's in all likelihood loaded with enough sodium to halve the speed with which my blood arcs through my vessels. Indulging in food that's everything Lloyd Dobler would despise: bought, sold, and processed. Consuming a product whose label might as well read, "May contain meat-like substance."

The worst thing is that I'll probably keep a box or two of this stuff on hand. Like Ramen Noodles, it's an extremely easy quick meal for when I need something that's easy and quick.

Man oh man.
