Thank god for Trader Joe's frozen Indian food

The other day I had no energy or desire to cook, and didn't feel like eating out: 15 bucks to pay for the shittiest yuckiest food in wretched physical spaces that would barely feel me up and make me feel bad about myself was not one's idea of a great eating out experience. In the past I'd have snacked around to fill myself up, but this was not one of those occasions: it's time to get serious about cardiac health and such snacks are never quite filling and satisfying. So what is one to do under such circumstances?

Trader Joe's! Frozen food! Biryani, the vegetarian version more specifically, yum yum yum. I bought two of them at TJ's, along with a can of eggplants, and had rice, kimchi, veggies, eggs, kefir, beans and the eggplants and it was like quite filling at tasty? It was one of the better meals I've had in recent times, and that includes eating out. It was cheaper than eating out by a magnitude, and just as tasty as most indian restaurants.

That's my comfort food at this point. It's comforting, it reminds me of eating TJ's food with friends and family, and is the happy place that reminds me good food can be had for cheap, and inspires me to cook more. Thank god!
