Relatedly, I do think it's hilarious that these frozen dinners are designed to cook on the stovetop, so people "feel like they're cooking."
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I kinda love the Bertolli frozen dinners. I don't really feel like I'm "cooking" but the finished product tastes more like I cooked than, say, a regular frozen dinner or reheating leftovers.

Well, as with anything "bready", wouldn't the pasta reheat better in a pan than a microwave?

I've only make the Bertollis in a pan. I tried it once in the microwave but it didn't heat as evenly.
This is more a statement on the quality of my 10 year old inherited microwave than on their dishes. I don't use my microwave for anything, really, except frozen vegetables.

Maybe I would agree more about Sarah being let go if I didn't find Howie just so annoying with his refusal fo communicate with her at all.

Oh, I'm sure it's better, I just think it's funny that "you feel like you're cooking" is a selling point.

SYTYCD:
Did anyone else feel like they were being manipulated by the whole build up to Mia's dance?
I would have liked the dance better if I hadn't known what Mia intended.
The buildup almost ruined the dance altogether for me. And then when they kept hammering on about it afterwards was even worse. I had to consciously push that out of my mind in order to like the dance at all. Even so, I agree that there was not enough dancing. But I noticed that in several of the dances this time. Were the dances shorter? Or was it really just the choreography?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

The key to reheating pasta in a microwave is to heat at lower temp for longer. Then it turns out just fine.

Were the dances shorter? Or was it really just the choreography?
I think it was a bit of both. The dances were shorter, so the ones with longer pauses or less continuous movement seemed even shorter.
