So what kind of sick and twisted agenda do you have? Posting recipes at a time when the closest open grocery store is too far away. For shame. Hehe...suppose I'll have to find some stuff around here, even if it is "some assembly required."

[scarlettchasingroses]

i am lucky.....for i have two grocery stores that are open 24 hours a day right nearby me...

[phillyrp314]

yes, that would be nice. Kroger's is open, but requires a 20 minute drive into town. I guess I'm just not willing to make that sacrifice tonight. Looks like I'm stuck with the Jalapeno potato chips...not that I'm complaining.

Oooo....i LOVE jalapeno flavored chips....
