someone help me! (dinner)

[amandasw]

first of all, I'm tired. and hungry. and I thought I was being all clever/productive this morning when I put ribs + bbq sauce in the slow-cooker (my go-to easy dinner).

except I forgot I used the rest of the potatoes earlier this week.

then I looked in the freezer thinking I must have some buns (like pulled pork sandwiches or something). nope. those are gone too.

now I don't know what to serve with them and I feel defeated and tired. we have rice, which seems weird. I have pasta in the pantry, but that's also a little odd. ugh! I love potatoes and ALWAYS keep them around.

is there something I can do with what I have that I'm not thinking of? or should I go to the store and get potatoes? as I write this out it sounds even more pathetic, but I can't just eat ribs and peas for dinner.

i keep dehydrated, flaky, potatoes for occasions like this. they're not great, but they do the trick. this doesn't help you, but i would just go to the store and get bread. potatoes take too long to cook.

you're probably right - H isn't home yet so I just texted. I feel bad asking him to go to the store on his way home since he went to work at 6am

Go get buns and coleslaw mixings in the salad section. Yummy. Good luck!

Do you have corn meal? You could make grits and do that on the side. Or make an apple slaw?

[FrozenSunshine]

Wraps if you have tortilla shells laying around. or serve it over rice? grits is a good idea as well.

or throw it in the fridge and eat it tomorrow and go out tonight

[amandasw]

well, to make matters worse - H is on call. I don't know why I just feel like crying. I'm probably crungry (? lol). screw it. I'm just making some box mac & cheese and eating it with that now. ugh. I can't be angry because it's not a surprise, but it wasn't on my calendar so it's a surprise to me.

BBQ meat over Mac and cheese sounds really good!

it depends on the rotation, right now it seems like it's a lot for some reason, but he'll have other rotations where he isn't going to be there as much.
