Today, I bought tomato sauce and tomato paste to make rigatoni. Forgot to buy the meat and the pasta. FML

Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.

Now we're cooking
Today, I made homemade pasta from scratch. I spent hours kneading the dough, rolling it out, and cutting it into perfect strips. When I went to cook it, I realized that I forgot to add salt to the dough. The pasta tasted like damp cardboard. FML

Today, we have nearly no food in the house. My husband went shopping with the kids and returned with a sack of tomatoes. Time to make lunch. FML

A man without a plan
Today, I was going to surprise my partner with a romantic dinner, but when I got home I realized I had forgotten the main ingredient: the food. FML

Today, I went grocery shopping but once at the store I realized that I'd forgotten my shopping list at home. I ended up buying a bunch of random items using basic guesswork and forgetting what I had originally gone to the store for. I now have two avocados, even though I hate avocados. FML

Today, I was so broke and hungry that I went to Olive Garden and faked being stood up, just so I could eat their breadsticks. FML

Today, I found out that my home-made pasta sauce had a weird taste to it because my basil patch in the backyard has become my dog's preferred spot to pee. FML

Today, I decided to make myself a nice meal. I bought expensive pasta and sauce etc. It looked delicious, I decided the finishing touch would be some parmesan cheese. I grabbed the bag and threw a handful of cheese on my meal. The cheese was about 98% mould. FML

Kitchen nightmare
Today, I made a casserole to use up the green beans I've had sitting unused in the fridge for over a week. I went out and bought all the ingredients, prepared them, and left them in the slow cooker for 4 hours before dinner. At no point in this did I remember to add the beans. FML

First day
Today, after I'd told everyone I would finally be starting meal prepping to save money, on the very first day, I forgot every container in my fridge, so I still had to buy my lunch during my lunch break. FML

You could make vegan, gluten-free rigatoni. Also, avoid shopping when you're high.

Gordon Ramsay called; he says you're an idiot sandwich.

I know this is probably a crazy idea but maybe you could go back to the store and get what you need. ydi

Well, what else do you have? If you have potatoes, roast them in tomato sauce and spices. If you have squash, cook the squash and serve with sauce. If you have beans and rice, you can add the tomato paste and spices for flavored beans and rice. If you have eggs, you can bake the eggs in tomato sauce--it's a Spanish dish. There's options! Just look at what you've got.

as a rule of thumb, if a FML contains the word “forgot,” it’s an automatic YDI.
