Tapatio.

That’s all right, though. My low-carb breakfast burritos were just fine with the ol’ [Death Sauce](https://smile.amazon.com/Blairs-Salsa-Muerte-Chipotle-Skull/dp/B000URFN9Q). (Better, in fact. 😉 )

Black beans. I was going to make some black bean salad. We’ve got kidney beans, great northern beans, garbanzo beans, chili beans, ranch style beans… but no black beans.

Montreal Steak seasoning. Used the last of it on the burgers yesterday. Onto the grocery list it goes!

I need a bay leaf at the moment. It’s not worth going 30+ miles to the store. So I will do without. Bah!

Lettuce. Just got back from a single-item trip to the store. No bag, thanks, carried it like a volleyball.  
mmm

Oh… Toilet paper… But luckily caught that fact before it caused a seated moral/logistical conflict. 🙂

Out of…hope. Time. Energy…Also need a can of corned beef hash. There must always be a can of hash in the cupboard!

Apparently, I’m not the only person who makes that joke in their head when they see “Angus Beef.”

Cherry Lime Polar Seltzer. I have Lacroix apricot and Bubly apple and another one or two, but I want to get more Cherry Lime. Flavored sparkling water has become a staple of life for me. I have cut the diet soda down to just a couple a day, I don’t think I will ever give it up entirely. But at least I’ve cut down.

…when I got home from work, it was: eggs, bacon, shredded cheese, block cheese, cottage cheese, fresh cut fruit, pancake mix, cake, ice cream, chocolate-covered Rocky Road caramel clusters, and enough mental energy to remember to stop at McDonalds to pick up breakfast on my way home.

IIRC, we had coffee and Ritz crackers with peanut butter for breakfast. I mean, there were some Kraft Singles in the fridge that I COULD have used for quesadillas, but, come on, I’m not a barbarian.

Discovered the hard way Saturday night - BBQ sauce.  
Had a mess of absolutely fabulous pulled pork and only maybe two tablespoons of sauce.  
Discovered about a half hour ago - we have ONE egg, no cream cheese, and only the butt ends of a loaf of bread.  
Breakfast ended up being roast beef rolled up in Daiya fake cheese slices.

Suffice it to say, there will be grocery shopping this evening.

1/4" brass rods. I went to Lowe’s, Home Depot, and three different hardware stores before I found one. And it was $10! What a ripoff.
