Imagine, instead, someone (sous chef?) running out to BUY some potatoes
for the meal and:
- coming home empty handed ("they ran out of potatoes")

 
I have had a similar scenario when cooking for two of us in my van for
12 days.  My companion was in the early stages of dementia and things
kept going 'missing', only to turn up next day in the most unexpected
places.  That included items of food, so changes to a planned meal had
to be improvised as I went along and I had to always bear in mind what
to do if something we had bought for supper just wasn't there when I
needed it.

 
I've learned to double-check the ACTUAL availability of ingredients
when baking. 

The problem was that the vegetables were there on the worktop when I
started. -they just weren't there when I came to put them in the
saucepan.  A thorough search of the van failed to find them.

The next day I discovered that my frend had put them underneath the van
instead of the milk, which was normally kept there because it stayed
cooler.
