the Chinese carryout was me leaving home, fetching it, and returning home. I really could have made the rice, which was $3.50 for 2 portions plus tax and tip. That would have paid for 20 grams of gummies.
Well I hope that you can still afford your gummies after splurging on rice for $3.50.

So you aren't forced into such an extravagance again, maybe you can make & freeze rice in individual portions sizes some day ahead of this happening again. I keep rice in my freezer (and I would still get the rice from the takeout).
