Doc gave me two Rx's, one for some pills and one for an xray (Roentgenogram,
as they say when trying to impress us lay persons).  While waiting for the
RX to be filled, wandered around the drugstore and saw
"Dinty Moore's American Classics Roast Beef and Mashed." The picture looked
good and it said "Low Fat" (to pass my wife's scrutiny) so I bought it among
other things, just to kill time while waiting, you understand. Went to the
Xray place. There would be a wait. It was nearing lunchtime. It was hot
under the hood out in the parking lot. Sudden brainstorm: I stashed the
package just under the #5 intake tube, next to the throttle microswitches
and went in to start waiting.  Took about 30 minutes ("rotator cuff," or
something like that, they are saying).  All I could think about was that
warming roas' bif. (I had hung the external Dinty's wrapping over the wiper
arm to make sure I wouldn't forget and drive off.)

Result: PERFECT! Just a little too hot to hold the dish, but just right for
the mouth. The meat is real, not "fibrated beef" like Nalleys. Good gravy,
good potatoes. Recommended.
