Tiredness food :)

[yvi]

So, after yet another 10 hour day after which I had no strength to go shopping, I have to ask:

What food do you people keep in stock to tide you over these days?

EDIT: Gosh, you are all amazing. So many great ideas to keep me going over the next few weeks :)

dried wholemeal pasta
tinned tuna (tuna + butter beans + chopped onion = substantial salad)
tinned sardines in olive oil (can be mashed and dumped on pasta, SHUT UP YOU SARDINE-HATING PEOPLE IT'S NICE)
tinned beans (e.g. butter beans, chickpeas)
a jar of pesto or other pasta sauce
eggs (then I can make omelettes, scrambled eggs, etc.)
onions, garlic, assorted spices
frozen edamame (I can eat a large bowl of edamame with sea salt as a meal without anything else at all)
basmati rice

HAIL FELLOW SARDINE LOVER.

Let us go forth and convert the Haters, so that they may experience the joy of the Sardine.

Tinned sardines in olive oil, add optional black pepper and lemon juice to taste, mash with a fork, turns into awful-looking grey sludge, tastes wonderful dumped on wholemeal pasta.

It's my comfort food for when I have no energy to cook and need a hit of grease and carbohydrates in a reasonably nutritious form.

If I'm more energized ... I need to find a good recipe for salsa verde and try it with grilled sardines. {/thinking out loud}
