Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Also, mac & cheese + tuna + stewed tomatos was cheap and nummy.

Not unlike my "college casserole." Except with corn or peas instead of stewed tomatoes. Duck-billed platypus

My bosses would easily agree with me that I'm not focused enough on my job.

Mac & cheese + tuna has long been a dinner staple for me. Especially that 6 months I didn't have a stove.

I don't bother adding veggies, generally.

I haven't had ramen noodles in the house since we kept a package for too long and all the insect eggs that were lodged within hatched.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I've been meaning to have mac and cheese for forever, but I haven't gotten off my ass to make the CI recipe, nor been to Roscoe's recently.

These cherries are good, but they are not filling. I am such a sucker for that dab of filling fat.

Ramen noodles have an insane amount of fat, and one package is considered to be two servings. They don't come to my house anymore.

The crappy chocolate is nearer.

But I should buy cheese for the house.

The other thing tempting me is the sushi in the caf -- I need to focus on the truths -- not enough fat to make me feel satisfied, and it won't taste good enough to warrant the expense. It's not like I didn't already eat (an inintentionally low-fat) lunch.

There was not. I think I still owe some, in fact.

Has anyone used Recipe Manager, or anything similar?

I've felt very unproductive myself of late. I rather hope that my bosses would not agree, though. GO Inattentive Bosses!
