My taste buds are dead

After a couple weeks of home cooking for J and dining out for Asian food (since there's a lack thereof where she lives), I resorted to TV dinners (yes, I'm old enough to call them TV dinners) tonight since J is gone (boo hoo!). The heat has tired out both me and Mr. Fix-it, yet another reason to not cook. My verdict on the first bite was, it tastes like soap. On the second bite, yucky and too salty. On the third bite, hmmm, not bad! I wonder what kind of drugs they put in this fake food so that it eventually tastes good to someone??? Maybe "tastes good" is an overstatement, lol. At least I didn't spend a lot of money on them.
