I hate when I do things like this

[cjsmith]

One of the things I'll occasionally do on a weekend is cook up a big pile of stuff that will later be lunches or dinners for when I'm rushed. Yesterday I went to the grocery store and picked up a huge amount of stuff for making lunches. Five pounds of meat came home with me; I made absolutely sure that I knew what was going to go with each batch, that I had enough spinach, enough spices, enough chili and lemongrass, etc. I got extra spinach just to make sure. There's always something you can do with spinach.

I walked right by the onion. Boy, thought I, do I have enough onion to last me a year. I certainly don't need any onion.

Guess what I'm out of, after cooking only two batches of stuff.
Guess what every single thing I was going to make will need.

Damn.

A normal person, of course, would just go to the grocery store and buy some onion. But I can't do that. I've been on my feet for nearly an hour now. I could keep cooking, by spending much of the time in a tall chair, but I can't go to the grocery store. Not any more. And if I did go, I sure as heck couldn't cook afterward. Those always have to be two separate days. I was so good, making sure I went to the store on Saturday so I could cook on Sunday. But all it takes is one goof.

Right now I hate being me.

EDIT: ladycelia is the bestest buddy in the whole wide world. She's going to bring me three big onions when she gets off work.

HAHAHA! Mine sometimes looks like barf too. In fact, the curry glop I just made a huuuuuge batch of... well, assuming the barfer had just had spinach... :-) But man, I could eat that stuff all day.

Hee! Glad I'm not alone. I tried to make cookies once, screwed it up and decided to stir them all together. It looked like dog food, but chocolately yummy dog food.
