I called this post "Desperation Dinners," because I'm a sucker for alliteration, but I prefer to think of them as "adventure dinners." You know the kind, where you come home after a long day and open the cupboard to find nothing you're looking for and a bunch of ingredients that don't really go together. For some people, that would mean it was time to go shopping. For me? It's time to get creative. And that's how I end up eating things that I could never in good conscience serve to anybody else: scrambled eggs over rice with sardines on top, sandwiches with nothing but cheese and mustard, microwaved frozen veggies over spaghetti with hot sauce, and so on. I honestly and truly do not mind these concoctions, but I will admit that they're not usually meals I would choose to repeat. Tonight I had a perfectly respectable swiss cheese and mushroom omelette with some of the aforementioned frozen vegetables on the side. And unlike this duck, I am careful not to leave things on top of inactive burners on the stove. Fire safety, people. Good luck with all of your future adventure dinners!
