so i'm flatsitting for a friend who is gone this month. it's great for both of us... she's home, and i get a place all to myself for a while. win-win.
except that i got here late on 30 december. and the cupboards were pretty well bare. not that i expected her to stock up for me, but what kind of person doesn't have staples in the house?! no bread and milk i can understand. no meat or veg or fruit, no problem.
but no canned goods? nothing frozen? no canned good?!
there were: a few sauces and condiments. garlic. two boxes of mostly-eaten cereal. flour-sugar-spices-the like. gross health food like protein bars and walnut oil. (what the hell is walnut oil for?!) tea. coffee. both very good things, since it's freakin' freezing here. a few oatcakes (but nothing to put on them).
that's it. not even things to cobble together some random weird meal. again, who doens't keep staples like tinned tomatos, ramen noodles, tinned tuna, even just pasta, for crying out loud?!
luckily i had brought a very few things with me-- some tortellini, clementines, pringles, mince pies. not the healthies of combinations, but it got me through.
did i mention i arrived late on 30 december? because nothing was open for days and days... but that's another post in itself.
