 What: Betty Crocker Complete Meals &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; How much? $4.69 &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Where can I buy? Most supermarkets and retail food sections &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 There was no ``hello,'' no ``how are you,'' just a cursory glance as my Dad
arrived home and rushed to the oven, his nose sensing home-cooked goodness. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 ``Wow, what are you making?'' &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Betty Crocker's new Complete Meals Chicken &amp; Buttermilk Biscuits was
bubbling in the oven. It was easy to make - stir together seasoning packet and
two cans (included) of Progresso veggies and sauce in a two-quart container,
mix water and Bisquick packet, plop nine wads of batter on top of veggie
mixture and bake for a half hour. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 It did smell good - and it tasted good, too. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 The biscuits were buttery and extremely fluffy and tender. The veggies -
corn, peas, carrots and potatoes - seemed fresher than the usual canned fare. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 I've tried chicken and biscuits several times at restaurants and never
liked it. I keep trying it because I figure I should like it how could gravy,
veggies, chicken and biscuits ever be a bad thing together? - but I've always
hated the weird restaurant gravy. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 Betty's gravy was just right - not too thick or greasy. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 There are five other Complete Meals, including Homestyle Dumplings &amp;
Chicken, Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo, Ham &amp; Au Gratin Potatoes, Herb Stuffing &amp;
Turkey, and Lasagna Pasta Baked with Meat Sauce. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 I'm looking forward to trying those, too. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
 (And so is my Dad.) &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
