After doing a quick look on the internet, I found that TV dinners have been on the food scene for over 50 years. My mom cooked probably 95% of the time when I was growing up. The only time I remember eating a TV dinner was when my dad was out of town for business. It was considered to be really special and something we didn't eat often. The dinners at that time came in an aluminum tray with a piece of foil over it. There were no microwaves in the early 1960's through the 1970's when I was little, so an oven was required. Wow, have frozen meals come a long way since that time! I do my big grocery shopping once a week and I don't know how it works out this way, but I always seem to be checking out around lunchtime :) By the time I unload the groceries, I'm usually pretty hungry for lunch! I love to cook, but lately I've been buying a frozen meal while I'm at the grocery store and while I'm unloading all the groceries I toss it into the microwave. By the time I'm done unloading the groceries, my lunch is usually done. The price of one frozen meal even without a coupon is usually still cheaper than going through the drive through somewhere. I caught a sale last week and had a coupon, so I bought a few stuffed pepper frozen meals. Nobody in this house would eat that but me. This week at the store, I bought sweet and sour chicken. What is your favorite TV dinner?? How many of you out there remember the TV dinners with the aluminum trays??
We are heading towards 600 orders for Dominic's business. Since our long-term goal for Baked Goods By Dominic is having a "brick-and-mortar" and hire those with disabilities, it is essential and imperative that I continue to teach him all parts of the business. Since I prompted Dominic for so many years for speech, he has become "prompt dependent." What that essentially means is that he will look at me for a prompt, like, "what do you do next?" I do that one a lot. Dominic has been going to a private speech therapist for over ten years and she reminds me often that Dominic usually will know the answer, if I am patient and wait for him. That has been a very hard habit to break! Dominic has an incredible memory, so I put it to the test this morning. I didn't write out the steps, I wanted to see how much he could do completely on his own. We have a customer picking up his order today, but the only thing that had been done is putting the cookies into t...
