\nSome of you who are seriously into cooking will occasionally order in or pick up takeout or purchase some kind of heat-n-eat no-muss-no-fuss dinner \u2013 and after tasting only one tiny bite realize that it falls horribly short of what you could have made yourself. With one hand tied behind your back. In the dark. You know who you are.<\/p>\n

So we \u201cfix\u201d it. I\u2019m thinking about writing a cookbook detailing guidelines for making the best of a bad culinary situation. I call it \u201cFixing Dinner\u201d.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I finally made it to the supermarket for my once-every-three-weeks-because-COVID shopping spree and I bought one of those preseasoned corned beef briskets that come sealed in plastic packaging. You know, just bring it to a boil then knock it back to a simmer, add your choice of veggies, plate it up \u2013 maybe a little horseradish cream or mustard sauce on the side \u2013 take a picture, and post it on the Instagram? Jever taste one of those?<\/p>\n

I did. But I can fix it. Watch this space.
