Lloyd answered the door to a salesman the other week - which is surprising in itself as we rarely get people soliciting here - one of the benefits of living in the middle of nowhere ;)
At first Lloyd told him that we were about to head out for the afternoon - but then they got talking (sigh...) and Lloyd agreed to go and look in the guys van!!
Anyway....it all ended with the guy coming in and bringing several trays of frozen food in for me to look at!!! Then Lloyd agreed to sign up with the company and buy food from them - he figured we would try it out and see if we liked it! I was rolling my eyes because we had been grocery shopping that morning and spent $400!! Our freezer was pretty well stocked already!!
We bought 6 boxes of food I think and have,so far, tried the chicken pies, dill salmon, chicken strips (in bread crumbs). I have to admit that the chicken pies were WONDERFUL!! So much better than any we have bought elsewhere. The salmon was DELICIOUS. I'm not a great fan of chicken strips anyway, so I can't review those myself, but the kids LOVED them - and they are handy to throw in the oven when you don't have time to cook!!
I can't wait to try the other foods we have in the freezer - maybe we will have some of the streudels this weekend - it's nice knowing they are in the freezer when we want/ need them....
We definitely plan to order through Gourmet Secrets again - and plan to order several things for Christmas.
