A. and the MiL both had a meeting to go to last night at 7:30 p.m. in the Small City, and decided to go to dinner before the meeting. In fact, I may have even suggested this going-out-to-dinner plan, as it meant that I didn't need to worry about making dinner. For anyone but myself, that is. And Cubby. But he's pretty easy.
ANYWAY.
When left to my own devices for dinner--which is a very rare occurrence--I usually just scavenge for whatever leftovers may be at hand. We didn't happen to have much in the way of leftovers last night though, except a little German red cabbage. Delicious as it is, that isn't much of a meal. So I went with my fall-back, there's-nothing-for-dinner dinner: a potato. Scrub it up, poke some holes in it so it doesn't explode, throw it in the microwave for a few minutes, add cheese, DONE!
I really love potatoes.
So what's your fall-back dinner? Cereal? PB&J? Or do you just say screw it all and get something delivered? (Not an option for me, sadly.)

I have the same fall back dinner and just had it Monday night ... baked potato with some shredded cheese on it. Yum :-)
Word verification: frequens I don't get to have my fall back dinner on a very frequens basis.
My fallback dinner is a box of Annie's White Cheddar Mac & Cheese. If I'm feeling fancy I'll mix in some cut up green beans or peas to add a 'vegetable' to dinner. Sadly delivery isn't an option here either!
Left to my own devices, I eat terribly. I will eat a piece of cake and call it dinner. If I do need to eat something more substantial, I fall back on the grilled cheese sandwich. Just cheddar on country bread, butter spread on the outside, and cooked in a cast iron skillet.
rice, with tons of butter, cajun spices, salt, and pepper.
mmmm.
Fall back for me is always a wrap. Fry up some chicken, onions, shred a little lettuce, maybe a tomato if I can be bothered. Cheese (we always have cheese); sour cream if there is any. And there you have it. 1 pan, 1 plate. 1 happy tummy :)
OR if I REALLY don't feel like making anything; I may or may not have been known to eat cereal. Dry. Straight out the box.
Cream cheese, mixed with sour cream and a little veggie dip seasoning...spread on veggie crackers. Beth

Nachos with salsa. Or, even more sad, bits and pieces. Left to my own devices last week: handful of mixed nuts, 5 almond-stuffed olives and a piece of cheese. I'm not proud of myself....

We always have leftovers. My wife is genetically incapable of making just enough food for one meal at a time. Her mother always makes at least twice what everyone's going to eat.
Oh, and neither one of them likes leftovers. Guess what I eat for breakfast and lunch every day?

Eggs. If no one else needs to be fed and there are no leftovers, I'll scramble eggs or make an omelet.
Popcorn and a gin and tonic. Every. Single. Time.
