My mom always bought the Swanson's fried chicken TV dinners.
My mom and dad both worked at one of the plants that made the Swanson TV dinners, so we had a LOT of them when I was growing up.

My favorite was the turkey dinner. It had my favorite dessert.

Reminded me of that scene in "Bullitt" where Frank Bullitt did his weeks worth of grocery shopping. Grabbing one of each of the TV dinners on display in 30 seconds or so...great bit!

Actually Amelia Island a few years back. Stan emailed the photo. You see, I have been appointed the Cyclops minister or west coast affairs. Since Cyclops has no west coast affairs, Stan decided I was the perfect man for the job.

It is hard to believe this is what passes for fashion now.
