Dinner Fail

Last night we had our first ever adventure in cooking that was actually sucky.  It was supposed to be garlicky chicken skewers with eggplant and zucchini.  All things we like.  Should have been great.  Wasn't.

I can't figure out what went wrong.  The skewers were supposed to be grilled and we pan-fried instead because we don't really have a grill (we have a foreman but it's not the same).  Is that enough to make it suck?  Or maybe the chicken sat in the fridge or freezer too long?  We have been putting off cooking ever since our splurgey anniversary weekend (which was fantastic, by the way).  Could have been lack of enthusiasm I suppose.  Neither of us particularly felt like cooking last night.  Does apathy really make food taste gross?  Who knew?!

And since we started dinner so late (becuase Keith was tantalizingly close to beating Assassin's Creed on PS3 and I was totally pushing him to keep going) our little dinner fail happened just as Lost was starting up.  So not only did we have to scramble for a replacement non-sucky dinner, we had to do it during the first few minutes of Lost.  And we don't have a DVR anymore.  It's all live, baby.

So, to recap:
Dinner?  Sucked
Missing Lost?  Sucked even more

Also, this was the last meal we had planned for, so we didn't have anything else fresh in the house because we're going grocery shopping tonight.  So this is what we ended up having for dinner....

That's right folks, the San Francisco treat.  And while Rice A Roni is neither South Beach friendly nor good for your waistline, it most certainly never sucks.
