I want something tasty to eat. I had some dinner, but it wasn't tasty. I didn't expect it to be, but there's always hope.
I'm having an apple now. I had some raw cashews before. Now I want something dense and tasty and good.
Here's the dilemma: what exists out there that is dense, tasty, and good, and can be eaten with only a smallish amount of guilt? Forgetting the guilt, what out there is dense, tasty, and good?
Brownies are good. But I'd have to mix them up and bake them and eat them and that isn't happening anytime soon. The already made brownies at the store aren't what I want.
Lasagna. That's dense and tasty and good. But I'd have to buy it frozen right now. And then I'd want to buy the lower fat kind. Then I have to remember which one I liked. Then I remember that none of them are going to fulfill my craving because they aren't as dense as regular lasagna would be. So no.
Pie? Not dense.
Sandwich on dark wheat bread with smoked turkey and cheddar cheese and lettuce and tomato and onion and Dijon mustard and toast the bread. Lots of ingredients. Has potential to be dense, would be tasty and good...
Cookies? With the huge variety of cookies out there I would surely find one that fit my needs...
For the first, I'd have to go to the grocery store to buy the ingredients, and, perhaps, a toaster, although I can toast bread like a champ without one. For the second, I'd have to go to the grocery store and stand in the aisle and stare at the shelves and pace up and down them looking at the nutritional information and deciding if the low fat Oreos are worth buying or if I should get the thin cookies over in the exotic food aisle. Should I worry less about calories and fat and get the ones with the healthy nuts? Should I go get graham crackers and hope that I'll be able to fool myself into believing that these really are yummy? I could try buying a small package of something, like Animal Crackers. But then I'll be kicking myself for the obscene unit price.
I think I'll go with the healthy nuts. That's right, I'm staying home.
Nevertheless, I love going to the grocery store at night. It might contain exactly what I want. At night I have as much time as I need to find it.
An oasis of answers for a big world full of questions.
