Cut Your Losses

I am fully aware that I talk about food a lot.
It is quite possible that maybe... 75% of my journaling in past years has been devoted to explaining the food I consume.
And I am willing to let everyone know that my number one priority during wedding planning was a big, fat delicious wedding cake. Not the dress, not my hair, not the venue, the CAKE (can't even see all three tiers!). Just thinking about it makes me hungry.

I like eating good food, so kill me!

A little over a week ago I was geared up to prepare this meal I found, "Lemon Garlic Spaghetti" over on inomthings.com.

I was excited because not only would I save money on a meatless dish, but I love lemon and it would be something different! I made sure to get everything I needed at the store when I was there a few days prior.

BUT

Come Sunday night when I went to make the dish, I couldn't find my fresh garlic!
I looked for it everywhere. I mean, my apartment is that BIG, there aren't many places where it could possibly be right?! Took everything out of its place, search every corner of the fridge. (@Pip, make you think of a certain box of Noodles & Co. leftovers?!)
But unlike Noodles & Co. leftovers, I knew my roommate probably hadn't eaten 2-5 cloves of garlic.
Frustrated, sweating, stubborn, and blowing things out of proportion, I decided to learn a valuable lesson that night:

Sometimes you just have to cut your losses and make Mac 'n Cheese!

Because it is more important to eat than to be a drama queen or gourmet cook.
