...microwave, pop a loaf of frozen garlic bread into the toaster oven and pour a medium-size jar of marinara sauce into a saucepan to simmer. While all that's bubbling, you chop up half a head of iceberg lettuce and a couple of tomatoes for the salad, which you'll sprinkle with a light dressing. Dessert will be two scoops of frozen yogurt per person and a plate of assorted low-fat cookies for the family to share. Sounds pretty healthy, right...

The freshness of the tomatoes, bite of the onions and astringency of the vinegar help somewhat to cut the relentless richness of the meat. Not all of the skewers are equally desirable, however. Pork loin is pleasant, although the meat should have been cooked a little more for my taste. (The prospect of tapeworm can put a damper on even the most charming...
