There’s a pie in that soup, isn’t there - digger?

In the freezer: minced beef, chicken breast, prawn cutlets, sliced bread, frozen mixed vegetables and packs of diced onion/celery/carrot for soup. Also mozzarella because I buy it by the kilo and like to make Italians cry.

In the cupboard: canned kidney beans, black beans, butter beans, chickpeas, chopped tomatoes, corn kernels, coconut milk. Tuna. Rice, dried fettucine, macaroni and spirals. Red lentils because you can always find them at the supermarket. Jarred pasta sauce.

In the vegetable drawer: onions, carrots, potatoes and (when available) beets, brussels sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, radishes. Spinach or lettuce.

In the fridge: milk, margarine, at least three kinds of cheese, sliced ham. Jarred crushed garlic, because I’m some kind of human animal.

In the spice rack: cumin, oregano, thyme, bay leaf, parsley, basil, smoked and sweet paprika.

This isn’t the future any of us wanted.

This seems like an idea with potential, but I have great faith in WotC’s ability to shoot themselves in the foot, repeatedly.

Ask a Tongan why their grandparents don’t like Samoans.

Who are you? Where’s the regular nurse?

Jesus, I read about that technique in a science magazine in the 90s.
