I loved this essay for the sentiment that it's never too late to learn to cook (and not just frozen dinners!), and it sounds as though you felt the same way, Chiyo.

It kills me to think how much money they are wasting too. Maybe some people never had an opportunity to learn because their childhood meals always came out of boxes and cans. I have to say some shopping cart contents are more intriguing than others (yes, I do look sometimes!). Once I noticed this person with a cart full of frozen dinners and soda, and a hunk of fresh ginger root. “Huh, what an odd combination . . .” I thought, but was kind of relieved to see something real and healthful among a whole lot of factory food. I hope that shopper is still buying ginger, and a few more things in the produce section . . .

I believe that may make a big difference in people's shopping habits and demands. For example one of the local groceries I frequent laugh at the fact I shop there everyday saying most of their customers buy everything for a week while I go there on a daily basis depending on what I am in the mood to cook.

Do you have some coffee cups that you could use instead of ramekins? Hi Natasha, I worry that making it in a large container would affect the texture and lovely molten center.
