There Are Pandas, and Then There Are Pandas.
And this isn't either of them! The Pandas we're talking about here, are watches, not bears. And what got me thinking about them (again) was a link posted this morning by @cm.rook who pointed a few of us to the very attractive (and not terribly priced) Yema "Rallygraph" Panda which, in it's most traditional arrangement, looks like the one on the left, but can also be had in the version on the right: The model on the left is a true Panda, while the model on the right is called a reverse Panda. The reason for that distinction is clear--Panda bears, only come in the first arrangement. Now at this point, everyone should be thinking about the most well-know Panda, The Rolex Panda, which is actually a Daytona, and among Rolex Daytonas, the most famous of which is the Paul Newman Daytona, which was famous first, because it was Paul's, and second because it sold at auction for $17.8 million (US Dollars).

That being said, my favorites are the easiest ones to modify. The tavern pot roast for instance. I always slice up a handful of mushrooms, add a splash of bourbon(Jim Beam Devil's cut has excellent flavor for cooking) and salt/pepper/sear the cut before I put it into the sauce. Not a full meal, but I've found that if I make one massive batch of really good mashed potatoes, I can freeze portions, and high quality frozen veggies make it a meal. The other one I love is the thai curry skillet one. Use thigh meat instead. I add a green something. Usually whatever is leftover or has like a 1/4 cup left in the frozen veggie bag. So green beans, peas, and bell pepper are all good options. Partial to the beans myself. Put it over good jasmine basmati rice. Yes they aren't home/scratch made, but they taste quite good(people ask me for the tavern roast recipe most times I make it), can be improved and riffed on with a minute or two of chopping or veggie slinging, and are fairly cheap. My one warning is they don't seem packed with preservatives, so freeze or finish leftovers quickly. Also just as a life tip, stewing sauces/curries and rice($35 rice maker will change your life) are delicious and lazy person friendly.
