Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: in a pinch Problem. We don’t have buttermilk. You got milk and lemon juice, right? Yes. Well, in a pinch, that’ll do. I try to NOT eat food from restaurants and coffee shops, but sometimes, when I'm REALLY hungry and I don't feel like cooking or making coffee, if it is REALLY urgent...I can definitely eat at a restaurant or buy coffee from someplace like Starbucks!In some situations, when you NEED to do something URGENTLY, you can't always "choose" the best option. You might have to choose "the second best" or even something worse. In these situations, we have a super expression!
