Today's Apocalypse Sign: Why Didn't I Think Of That!

If I could tell you how many great ideas I have been late to the party with...well it would pretty much be all of them, ever. But no matter, I have been scooped once again!

While in the local Walmart the other night doing a his and hers tandem-Wednesday-night-grocery-shopping rarity... breathe... I found the latest and great thing. This is it! (sorry for the cheap phone pix)

Individual portions of the spices needed to make the dish!

And...the recipe and cooking instructions on the back!

Let's count the ways this is great:

1. For $2.28 you get the spices you need for this meal rather than like $20 for the large bottles of each spice.

2. They are pre-measured so no trying to figure out the difference between tablespoon and teaspoon.

3. The recipe is on a sturdy card you can keep for future use.

4. Even a cooking savant like me can probably do this right!

I'll be making this bad boy Sunday night, I'll let you know how it turns out.

Oh yeah, and I'm really pissed I missed the genius boat again with this simple idea. Maybe I'm too complex

and need to dumb myself down a bit...do ya think?

What great ideas have YOU had just a little too late??
