Ear-Bending Cellmate: ...and when there was no meat, we ate fowl and when there was no fowl, we ate crawdad and when there was no crawdad to be found, we ate sand.

H.I.: You ate what?

Ear-Bending Cellmate: We ate sand.

[pause]

H.I.: You ate SAND?

Ear-Bending Cellmate: That’s right!

Frankly I’m thinking that having grown up very poor will be an advantage for me. I don’t get stressed about what I lack.

Hey how about a thread of cheap great tasting recipes for those who are struggling. I have many, as I was a single parent for years...and I will share if others will????

[mojitojoe]

One brick of ramen noodles(oriental flavor)
one can of corn
one can of peas (not sweet peas, the other kind)
2 eggs

Cook up the ramen noodles like normal. When they’re done, dump in the corn and peas(strained).

In another pan, scramble 2 eggs. Mix in the scrambled eggs when they’re done.

Tastes like a cross between fried rice and egg drop soup. You can improve it a little by adding meat of some kind. I’ve used a can of tuna before...also I’ve used some leftover turkey meat from thanksgiving. And now that I’m thinking about it, I’ve used bologna too.

Add thyme, it makes it a bit more savory.

You forgot the little boys.
