I am actually quite proud of an override I tossed onto the "help care for a pet" square (I also do not help with pets much): "Scavenge a whole project [from the community]." I decided my kitchen needed a new wall-mounted shelf ASAP, had a vision, and hit up the neighbourhood Slack channel to see if anyone had shelf brackets in their basement. Later that day I had some! I also know for a fact another community friend has a massive hoard of scrap wood she is looking to offload, so I'm one Wood Scrap Pickup away from having the stuff for my shelves! Free materials AND helping friends clean out their basements!
> options you have to stretch food so that you can have unplanned guests
Preportioned cookie dough in the freezer is perfect. I should definitely brainstorm this for a sticky note reference on my fridge. For that dinner, we eked things out with a quick pot of white rice. Often I have a loaf of bread on hand that can stretch a meal, but I can't exactly whip up a new one in 20 minutes. Anyone have other good ideas?
