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."

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.
