It's dinner time.
I'm hungry
I forgot to plan.
Too lazy to get up and cook.

I had the same problem today so after staring at the fridge I did this;

I used half a tin of coconut milk, (leftover) some garlic, ginger, a red chili and an onion blended up, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce, vinegar (lime juice would be better) and a bit of sugar, added to some mixed veg and cooked chicken I called it a Thai style curry and served it with sticky rice. dinner in 20minutes 2 pans and nearly no mess.

I found some tomato soup in the back of the cupboard.  "best before" is just a suggestion, right?

you would imagine by my age I could make tomato soup without it exploding.

You would be wrong.

sigh  Now I remember why I don't cook this.

Exploding soup sounds like an exciting dinner!

Exploding soup? Is that like split peas cooked in a pressure cooker? And the little weight thing quits rocking, so he takes it off to see and sprays the ceiling with this green like stucco ...But I am having home canned tomato sauce, 2016 vintage, and pasta...

That's why in the fall I can up a ton of tomato soup and chili.  50+ jars each.  That way if I'm ever in need of a quick meal I just warm up a pint of soup.  My back-up is organic mac and cheese
