So I've just got back from work.
I'm sitting here, still in my office clothes, hair in a frizzy post-work mess, face with that after-work grimy sheen, hole in my left sock, creased shirt, waiting for Hubby to get home, Googling recipes to find ideas for a nice healthy dinner with the three ingredients left festering in the fridge, scoffing down a huge bag of corn chips, wiping my oily, salty fingers on my trousers, and wanting to destroy the huge pile of bills sitting right next to my mouse.
Aaah - tis the life!!
*loosens belt buckle and top trouser button*
Time to veg out in front of the telly methinks... and order a pizza...

Oh, what were the three ingredients?? I came home feeling the same way today. Hope the pizza was good!! We did that on Monday night (50 bucks for 2 pizzas...good thing they tasted OK)
I had a similar evening. I packed up the kids and we went out to eat.
I think it's admirable that you even google recipes! Haaaaa!
Without takeaway, I'd starve.
You sound like me. Omelettes are always my recipe of choice when I have a near-empty fridge.
Amen, it's de j'vous the world over!! Some night I try and do dinner just to remind the wife I have latent gatherer genes and am not all hunter. And I agree. it's the end of the day, I'm tired, and really not interested in food, at least nothing that requires more than 2 minutes in the microwave. Here is my answer;
1. get into real "comfies"
2. crank the stereo with something that will suck the anger and aggression of the day out of you.
3. Rinse out the biggest wine glass you have. (I say rinse it out because you used it last night and hadn't turned on the diswasher yet!)
4. select a gentle red, like a Shiraz, or perhaps a Merlot/Shiraz blend
5. Get the menu out for the local Indian or Chinese take-out and see if anything causes severe drooling.
6. Pick up the cell and call the spouse and start out "Honey would you stop by the (fill in your drooling choice type take- out here) and pick up the order I placed,...I'm just beat to hell today but I want you to enjoy dinner? Is that okay with you?"
Works equally well for either spouse, my wife and I take turns.
