Darn packages...

OK, first bad experience.

It was my first time with a microwaveable dinner - "Mushroom Gravey with Salisbury Steak and Rice. The fact that the gravy was mentioned first should have tipped me off!

First of all, it was really hard to get the plastic cover all the way off - I got gravy spots all over the counter top. Secondly, I had to search for the Salisbury steak - I eventually found it hiding behind a mushroom. Thirdly, the rice could have patched a hole in my brickwork.

I fished the steak out and had it with the rice and a piece of bread, leaving the half gallon of gravy behind. It was OK, not brilliant, but OK. I'll give it a 6.

Next time, I'll cut the plastic cover, take out the steak, put a little gravy on it and cook some rice of my own.

I guess it shows I need to get my expectations set before deciding if it works or not.
