My house was out of food. Not just "hey, I need to go food shopping." But more like I have nothing left to eat for breakfast. I was out of butter, mayo and peanut butter.
It was hard to make any type of nutritious meal unless I wanted dried beans or lentils with ketchup.
I went and got four bags of staples and now I can eat meals again.
I know not everyone has this privilege and I do not take it for granted. There was a time years ago during the recession in the 90's when I could not find a job for a long time and my unemployment had run out. I had to go down to the city's General Assistance office and ask for help. For a short time I received assistance money and food stamps. It is a humbling experience and one I am most grateful to have experienced. I will never take food and the ability to have food for granted.
I am now dreaming up things I can make for dinner.
Until tomorrow...
