Was it worth it?

Weather: 64 degrees way overcast, with slight drizzle in some areas.
Preparation time: 30 minutes total

Well, it was a different hamburger helper tonight. To me, they all taste the same; my husband, on the other hand, was really looking forward to this particular one for the past 3 days. I'm not sure why. But he seems to think they all taste different and apparently this is one of his favorites.

I had a very long drive today and really wasn't in the mood to cook. I was going to be happy to cut a head of lettuce in half, sprinkle some dressing and cheese over it, and call it a meal...I should have gone with my choice.

Why? Because it would have tasted better? Because it would have been healthier? No, because my husband, who just HAD to have hamburger helper, went to bed halfway through the cooking time and no amount of yelling, hugging, jumping on the bed, or anything else was waking him up. So, here I was stuck with a meal I didn't really want. But, since it was there...

here's the score
Appropriate for weather: 5. Being cold and overcast, it was definitely very nice to have a warm meal; this scored better than my lettuce meal would have done.
Filling: 5
Healthy: 3, I just can't score a boxed meal any higher than that
Ease: 3.5
