Scene opens.
Bright sunshine day blazes through the window.

/Dark ominous music/

So unexpected my friend comes to town.

(I flash back to the days endeavors)

Breakfast
quick instant coffee w/ cookie again :)

Lunch

Rest of Oxtail and rice.

/inner monolog starts & dreamy music/

"wow, I could possibly get by w/out buying anything today. I had good breakfast/ lunch leftovers. I still have eggs, meat broth, pasta, udon noodles from Asian instant soup plus most of the spicy packets it came w/,dozen of unbaked cookies, 1 Asian pear, 3 green onions left, and instant coffee. I could do it!"

/dreamy music comes on w/ harps/


"I could make some egg drop soup, w/ cold pear pasta salad and bake up some of the cookies. Or, steam eggs w/ flavor packet of dehydrated veggies, pan fry cooked pasta w/ oil packet and Oxtail broth. Could try to make Asian Casserole w/ noodle, flavor packets, Asian pear, eggs, water..."

/dreamy music gets cut off abruptly and metal guitar riff cuts in/
