The apple salad of Thesseus

Day one. This salad needs more pineapple.
Day two. It needs more apple.
Day three. we added too much apple, we need more cream.
Day four. It needs more craisins and pecans...
Oddly enough, as a good home cook, I sometimes have to go through that very process, albeit in minutes or hours, not days.

Here’s “Five Cup Salad”, a dessert I made for Christmas:

Originally, it was 1 cup each of pineapple chunks, fruit cocktail, marshmallows, shredded coconut, and sour cream. Mix, chill & serve. (I liked adding cherries for presentation.)

But over time, packaging sizes have changed dramatically, so I’ve had to alter it from “cups” to ounces. This included an expansion of the final recipe beyond 5 cups because I couldn’t easily store all the leftovers from partially used containers of ingredients I’d have if I stayed true to 5 cups.

And this year, at least one of the wet ingredients came in a can 50% bigger than it used to, so I once again had to alter proportions on some of the other ingredients.🤦🏾‍♂️
 

I almost just decided I was willing to pay more to have food delivered than the food itself cost... But then I thankfully realized I just couldn't live with myself if I did that. :rolleyes:
This actually motivated me to get orf me arf and go out to get some damn food.



EDIT: @#@I#(^&$U@#I@#)*&^$#E@#@#!!!!! 🤬🤬🤬

I ordered about $19 of food from Little Caesars and couldn't pick it up - five inches of snow have dropped in the last couple hours, and the plows still haven't come around yet... It's likely that my road and the hill that it's on won't get plowed till morning.
I got outside, shoveled off my car, and then realized that there was no way I was going to get down the hill to get the pizza, never mind back up it... :mad: AAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!

I am now subsisting until I can get out of the house tomorrow morning on half a bag of dried mango slices I keep in my work lunch bag for times like this. I'm going to bed to conserve energy.
