Chili Dog

I know what you're thinking.  You're thinking, hey that looks like a chili dog!  But you're wrong.  It's not.  What you're looking at is what happens when the shrimp that you know with absolute certainty is in the freezer turns out not to be in the freezer.  Or anywhere else near your kitchen, for that matter.

What you're looking at is what happens when you have vegetables and quinoa ready to cook but no shrimp.  Or chicken.  This is what happens when you are completely delusional about what is actually present in your kitchen.  It is also what happens when the quinoa is already cooked and you've realized everything else has just fallen apart.  What you are actually looking at is...defeat.

I have been so busy that apparently I can't remember what I've cooked or when I've cooked it.  I remember buying the shrimp.  I remember cooking some sort of shrimpy type dish in the past.  I do not, however remember exactly when said shrimpy dish was prepared.   Leaving me to believe with the same absolute faith a dog has that humans exist only to throw things for them that my shrimp was in the freezer.  Imagine my disappointment.  Especially since the quinoa had cooked while I searched.  Perfectly cooked quinoa and nothing to put over it.  So I gave up.

I found a turkey hot dog, grabbed half a hotdog bun - it's a lot of carbs!  I was disappointed, not crazy - some canned, low fat chili - Ok, I may have to re-think the crazy statement - and some low fat cheese.  Yes, low fat cheese.  I was making some effort to be somewhat healthy.  Not much, but still.

Not one of my better meals.  I don't encourage anyone to try this.  Unless you like not so great food.  Then knock yourself out.  I think the chili may have been Hormel?  I don't remember.  I'm trying not to think about it.  I probably should go grocery shopping.  I haven't been there in a while, could someone give me directions?
