"Necessity is the mother of invention." When you've nothing left in your fridge but the basics, get creative. This morning I knew that I should go grocery shopping. I also knew this this afternoon. And finally, I knew it this evening, after the shops were already closed. My procrastination forced me to get creative. I had pasta and the veggies that are always present in my cupboard: garlic, onion, tomato. As I looked at these ingredients I immediately thought of a traditional Italian dish. This just didn't have any appeal so I ventured to my condiment shelf. Barbecue sauce? No. Salad dressing? No. Mustard? Hmm. This surprising ingredient added just the kick to take this dish from boring to brilliant. Next time you realize you should have gotten groceries, think again.
