Flashback to that grocery run you didn't make last night.

2. Phase II: You start to realize the gravity of your situation.

The fridge is empty. The cupboards are empty. You start to feel like a very poor country mouse.

3. Then comes despair.

It's just not an option.

9. Finally, through an act of sheer will and creativity, you manage to pull something together that vaguely resembles a meal.

At least it's edible.

10. And maybe even try to class it up a bit, just to preserve your dignity.
