deconstructed dinner

When you’re so tired, you can’t cook, and just eat all the ingredients by themselves, one after the other.

Cause it makes it sound fancy, and if you can’t be happy, you can at least be funny.

X: I had a four-course deconstructed dinner yesterday.
Y: Fancy! What restaurant did you go to? The Fat Duck?
X: None. I had a can of corn. Followed by some ajvar I ate with bread. Then I was still hungry and ate an old can of meat. With a spring onion I found in the fridge. … 😆Basically a deconstructed chili. … XD … (˃̣̣̥ᯅ˂̣̣̥)
Y: I feel ya. Still better than what I had for dinner. What do we even work for? No time anymore, and still no money.
