perplexities

i don't cook much.  actually i don't cook often.  if i can, i will finagle my way out of committing to producing breakfast, lunch, dinner, and anything in between.  tonight i "ran" to costco to get dinner ~ this time i was going to serve up some enchiladas.  i really thought i had a good thing going until i got home and read the instructions.  OVEN 325* (4) 40 - 50 minutes. this was not a good thing, but i was kind of committed so i went through with it.  its a good thing our heat wave #3 actually broke today as it only reached 99* but still, the ac does have to work harder when you run the oven.  yes, i know i could have nuked it, saving time and energy but i didn't really want to look "that" lazy.  so into the oven went the enchiladas.  

I ask you....have any of you ever served up costo enchiladas?  if yes, maybe you can answer me this.  if not, go buy some and tell me what you think.  they taste mmmmmmmmmmmm decent, not nummy, but they do fill the spot and again, you're not really having to cook them.  but here's the deal.  i heated them up as directions said.  and we ate them.  they are even going to be lunch for some of us (gee, i wonder who gets a lunch everyday?).  and then, it was time to put the left overs into the fridge.  i took off the aluminum foil i covered the dish with and attempted to put the lid back onto it BUT it did not fit.  thats right.  when purchased, enchiladas were in a plastic serving dish with a plastic lid ala costco.  you take the lid off, cover with foil and pop into the oven for 40 - 50 minutes.  the lid fit just fine when i bought them, but after going into the oven, the dish no longer fit the lid.  the dish shrunk but at least 1/2 inch.  i know, you are thinking, "impossible!"  but i am telling you the truth.

so if any one can 'splain this to me, please do.  and do not attempt to tell me i should not be putting plastics in the oven and/or microwave to cook in.  i will however, consider that line of thought, because that shrinking plastic had to have gone somewhere.

and while youre at it,,,if you know how to get ride of this stupid underline and blue ink,,, let me know that too.
