Everything took longer than I expected this weekend. Okay like three things. I was meeting up with some folks Saturday and needed to bring something with me that needed to be cooked. I had a headache Friday night, so made it Saturday. Except I started late. And then realized it needed to be cooled.
Sunday I made a soup so I would have food for the week. I fortunately had planned a simple grazing meal for dinner. Because at 9:30 that thing was still burbling away. (Is this what I get for not presoaking my beans? Probably.)
Anyway, the soup finally finished but some weeks or weekends are like that. Everything takes a little longer to come together than you hoped and you kind of have to roll with it. Wishing you started sooner doesn't fix the problem at hand. And better late than never doesn't apply to everything, but for soup it probably works.
Hope your food is ready when you need it this week.
