What do you do when you are cooking and you realize that you dont have one of the ingredients. Hehe i Just made a simple lunch of Hot Dogs, and realized there is no more Bread left hahaha. So all i could do was chop it up and eat it with ketchup :( Not the best, but it worked.

Wow, crazily enough I am actually eating mac and cheese with hot dogs chopped in right this very second! And it is amazing, same as it was when my mom made it for me when I was 5 years old. I can't comprehend anyone not liking cheese and it is probably my favorite food, although chicken is possibly a close second. However, they are great together (chicken and cheese that is). Anyhow, this is story is actually about mac and cheese lol. Last time I made it I realized after putting the macaroni in to boil that I had no milk. So I turned it down as low as possible, jumped in my car and drove the block to the gas station, grabbed a small bottle of milk and drove back and arrived just in time. My mac n cheese turned out great ;) Oh and I had a hot dog with it that time as well.

In that case, I would have cut them lengthwise into strips and fried them. I call them pigtails because they curl up as they cook. Then dip them into sauce- mustard, bbq or ketchup. I have done this before, and I usually find a way to improvise. Once or twice I had to put the half- prepared meal in the fridge and wait until I went shopping, or go to the store and get what I need, because for some things there is no substitute. I'm feeling dumb right now because I can't think of an example.

Hi. It never happened to me because I always look at all the ingredients to make sure that I have all I need. But if it happen to me I try to replace what I don't have or do it with another ingredient. In your case you would cook an Miojo and eat it with the hot dogs LOL. Cheers.
