The last few weeks have been a little rough<\/em> (subliminal plug?) and since I have been doing all of the house-husband chores like grocery shopping, I decided to treat myself to some comfort food, namely – a Nighthawk Steak ‘n Taters frozen dinner. I hadn’t had one since my original review<\/a> in 2005. In that review, I commented on the steak sauce coming in a condiment package.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“An even bigger difference is the steak sauce, which now comes in a small condiment packet. The steak sauce used to already be on the steak. In fact, I would scrape any frozen steak sauce which had stuck to the back of the cardboard cover, back onto the steak. Like the suggested side salad, the optional steak sauce is a nod towards healthy eating and I think it was the right thing to do (though really, if you have any kind of dietary restrictions or concerns, you shouldn’t even be looking at one of these things).<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

…I’m only asking for things to be the way they were.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I pulled the dinner tray from the box this evening – the steak sauce was already on the steak! This makes me happy for a couple of reasons. First, I will always use the sauce, so this saves me from having to fish the packet out from behind the plastic. Second, the reduction in packaging is a positive environmental step. And finally, I am going to pretend that the reason they changed back was because they read my review and said to themselves – we had better change back, because that powerful blogger likes things the way they used to be! <\/em>He could ruin us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have some other comments about my earlier review. I noticed that for some reason, I was stingy with the photos in that post. So, I have added a photo of the plated dinner. Also, like all blogs, this site gets hundreds and hundreds of spam comments<\/em> and they all come-in on that one post. I still can’t figure that one out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I mentioned in the Nighthawk review that I would do reviews of other foods from my childhood, but I haven’t gotten around to it. Maybe on my next shopping trip, I’ll take a look at the current state of children’s breakfast cereal and pick-up some samples for review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
