Warming up

Things are getting back to normal here.  I just heard the trash truck pick up my neighbor's trash (they have a different service, for some reason).  Ours gets picked up on Monday.

It is now above freezing headed a high nearing 45 (7) degrees so we'll be going for a walk later today.  Nothing else much needs doing.  

Deliveries are resuming.  I've got Freshly food on the way.

Report on Freshly:

Pro — it arrives all cooked, ready for the microwave.  The food is pretty good.  The selection is from about 50 choices and they add/subtract 7 or so every week so it is pretty easy to have weekly standbys and then something new.  In fact they roll over what you ordered the week before unless you stop it.  One of the big advantages is that with two people you can get different things.  

Con — it is frozen food so is not quiet as good as cooking it from scratch

The numbers per dinner (meaning a meal for one.. all but Freshly come with food for two):

Dinnerly — $6.90

Home Chef — $11.35

Hello Fresh — $11.24

Freshly — $9.40

The price is a little hard to nail down with Freshly.  It changes the more you order.  We ordered 8 meals (four night's worth) and the price went down to the $9.40.  It works out to about the same as getting something similar at HEB that is fresh.
