Water chestnuts and jam on wheat?
It is an established fact that when I get busy, grocery shopping is one of the first things to go. (Laundry is another, so let us give thanks that Filene's Basement still offers underwear and socks at rock-bottom prices.)
Anyway, like most people, I have a few staple, must-have foods, and throughout my independent life I managed to never, ever run out of the following:
- dried pasta
- minced garlic
- water chestnuts (I bought a can of them in 2002 for reasons that escape me; I will probably never eat them)
- peanut butter
These are my go-to ingredients. Come hell, high water, or exam periods, I've been secure in the fact that I will always have these foods on hand; therefore, no matter how busy it gets, no matter how desk-bound I might be, I'll always be able to scrounge some protein and/or carbs.
Moments ago, I just ran out of peanut butter.
