I don't have many things that I enjoy in life, but good food is one of them.
What is your alternative? Making noodles yourself? Who the fuck does that?
A friend of mine does this. It's delicious.

so maybe my grocery stores don't have fresh pasta either
I was joking about location. It is usually in the refrigerated section near packaged cheeses and stuff like that. Common national brands are ones like this:

But usually there are better, regional brands you can find. And like I said, Trader Joes has it most of the time, and they are cheap.
I was joking too. But now that you mention it I do know Buitoni.

no way thawed bread would taste good

It's not ideal but not nearly as bad as you think.

For hamburgers and hotdogs? Ain't no thing -- just warm them in the over/microwave, then toss them on the cooler part of your standard 2-zone grill setup. You'll get a nice toast and subtle grill flavor, and it's really just a delivery device for the meat anyway.
i don't have a grill

We were given a pasta maker two Xmas ago. Still unused. Kids and space and time and egg allergies and easily bought fresh pasta.

But we will use it one day as I love fresh pasta.
