Lunch: Cinnamon bagel thing and orange. ($0) This really is a true cost of 0. My friend Morgan works with a food co-op and sometimes I, through her, get donations of expired foods. I think she gave me these cinnamon things the week of Thanksgiving, which goes to show that expiration dates mean nothing.
Dinner: This one's a winner. Morgan found some Nica cheeses in her freezer from approximately 2 years ago and invited me over to enjoy them. We attempted, and failed, at frying cheese which wasn't super surprising because we failed last time we tried to fry cheese too.
Fried cheese doesn't normally look like this.
Besides frying cheese she also had quesillo cheese. For non-Nicaraguans you might not know about quesillo and this description probably won't make you want to try it. You take quesillo cheese (kinda like string cheese) place it in a corn tortilla, add some pickled onions, and pour on some crema (like sour cream but more liquid), all of this goes into a plastic bag that you eat out of. 
This is Morgan and her roommate Shirley eating quesillo.
Since cheese alone doesn't make a meal, Morgan also discovered that you can now buy canned red refried beans in America so we had some of those too. ($0)
Lovely red beans from a can!
Dessert: By dessert Morgan's roommate Megan came home she likes whipped cream so made a bowl of bananas with whipped cream and powdered chocolate for the three of us to share. It was pretty good considering the amount of work that went into it. ($0)
