This week in Lean Cuisine….

I’ve had two Lean Cuisines this week, both for lunches.  On Monday, I tried something new: Tortilla Crusted Fish.  It was amazing.  The fish didn’t taste gross or microwavey, and the crust was actually crispy.  The rice and sauce it came with had a zippy Tex-Mex flavor and I felt happy and satisfied after eating it.

Today, not so much.

Today I had the Shrimp and Angel Hair Pasta.  Bland bland bland. The sauce was white and tasted, well, like white.  No, not white sauce, but like a blank white sheet of paper.  Even the red pepper strips that were involved just kind of sat there sadly, seated next to the sad little parsley that could barely muster any flavor beyond…well nothing.  The angel hair was a poor excuse for pasta, tasting like one imagines a shoestring might taste after several trips through a mud puddle.  I ate the four skimpy shrimp included out of pure mercy, tossed the rest and just ate some dried plums for lunch.
