Go-to dinner

You just got a call that three friends are stopping by and expecting you to serve them dinner. You look in the refrigerator and the cupboard. You have half a yellow onion, some celery, a few carrots, three big russet potatoes, 4 eggs, a dribble of milk, some cheddar cheese, half a box of goldfish, and a handful of spinach. Write about what you’re going to throw together (you don’t have to use all those ingredients and you can assume you have salt, pepper, oil and such) and also mention your feelings about this impromptu dinner party. 10 minutes.
