Dirty

[captain_slinky]

I'm STARVING, and the kitchen is too trashed for me to cook anything in.

-There are fresh fruits and veggies and dirty pans on the stove that need to be put away and/or washed.

-Before I can move the dirty pans to the sink, all the dirty dishes from this weekend need to be moved in to the dishwasher.

-Before the dirty dishes can be moved to the dishwasher, I have to put away all the clean dishes that are still sitting in there.

...Or I could just order a Pizza.

OMG, I am having almost exactly the same dilemma right now. I need a magic cooking fairy godmother, I tell ya.

The Magic Cooking Fairy *could* be named Papa John...

I was a good girl and made dinner. I love the ingredient search function on Allrecipes.com Had some left over rice and almost-expired sour cream to use up. Combined those with some cheddar, cooked chicken, and black beans. YUM! Still have those pesky dirty dishes to clean, though.

Very nice! I, too, conquered the siren call of my Fairy Papa Johnfather, got off my duff and made some from-scratch Mac N Cheese.

I'm only like two months in to this whole "Cooking Real Food For Every Meal" thing, but having to concoct everything from base ingredients has REALLY opened my eyes to just how wonderful Pre-Packaged Food is and why my Grandparents and Parents were so willing to sacrifice taste and nutrition for convenience :)

I forgot that there was also salsa in my recipe tonight as well.

BUT - you might find some good ideas from this article I bookmarked. It's entitled "Summer Express: 101 Simple Meals Ready in 10 Minutes or Less" http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/18/dining/18mini.html?_r=1

I vote pizza... But then, I always vote pizza :)

PIZZA FOR PRESIDENT IN 2012! But who would be his running mate?

Breadsticks!

Nooooooo! no pizza!

Of course this is where bizzare combinations REALLY came from - why else would someone make an open-faced sardine/avocado sandwich?
