An early slip-up

pinksoniaThe no-spend challenge was a big-old fail this evening. I didn't get home from work until 7:15, which is a good 2 hours after the time I was expecting to return -- so anything that took a lot of cooking was off the table.
My first idea for a quick dinner was little pita pizzas. I opened the pita package to find a big spot of mold between the two pitas that remained. So that was out.
Then I was just going bake a sweet potato in the microwave. Stabbing in my vent holes, I found that the half the sweet potato was black and kind of weepy. Gross.
At that point I gave up and ordered something.

In the future, could you put room in the freezer towards keeping the pitas? No idea how to preserve the potatoes though, short of finding a root cellar-like environment for them.
