   Yeah, we sort of do that too at times, but it's most often   
   stopping by a Whole Foods or other similar store to just get what   
   each of us likes from the hot bar.  Second choice is a meal we can   
   zap in the microwave.

   Reminds me of a cousin who developed an ulcer over 50 years ago   
   (as a young teen).  They put him on a very bland diet.  He hated   
   it, so would say they were trying to poison his ulcer.
