Well... damn.
As you get older you tend to get set in your ways. You set up routines and get very annoyed when the universe conspires to disrupt them. :-) For the past 10 years or so I've been buying a particular brand of lasagne from my local, because it's just WAY superior in quality to all the others. It's so handy to have something that I can just reheat when I come home tired from a long day. Not that I live on it! But it does make it onto the menu once a week or so.
So last week it was suddenly no longer on the shelf. How dare they suddenly change their stocking! Damn their lack of customer service, which should be oriented around keeping me happy! Some web research later on the brand name I found that, much to my glee, the factory that made it was located only 5km from where I live! I win: I could buy it from the source and bypass the mean supermarket that wasn't doing what I want!
Unfortunately, when I went out to the factory site I discovered that the reason they were no longer being stocked was that the company had gone out of business two weeks ago.
This is not good. This is the universe conspiring against me. penne4m's reaction was "Oh well, you'll just have to make it yourself." This is my partner in life being supportive?? No. While it's true that I do make a mean lasagne, the whole point was to have a ready to heat meal that required no effort on my part!
