I've decided to start blogging my eating adventures. Mostly because cooking has become increasingly boring lately and this will add some excitement to my life. I'm not that girl who shares what she eats because I have an eating disorder. I don't believe in dieting. I think diets, like budgets, are lame and evil. On that financial note, some may consider me cheap and wonder why I can't afford regular food, this has nothing to do with that. Really I am just trying to be more resourceful so my money can be used for more important things. I decided to put cost next to my meals. If it is something I have in the pantry it's free which I realize isn't super accurate but going forward, if I grocery shop, I'll consider those costs.
On my sister's recommendation I stole the title from Carrie Sun's blog on hospital eating .

Friday Again

Breakfast: Same as yesterday - egg, ham, gouda and toast ($0)
Lunch: Lasagna again ($0)
Dinner: Gallo Pinto - Nicaraguan style beans and rice. I figured out why Nicaraguans eat this so much it is cheap!  I bought a pound of dried beans for $1 and had rice for free from Morgan.  I only used like 1/3 of the beans to make a huge pot so really the meal was like $.10 but since I already counted the cost in my groceries ($0)
Dessert: I went grocery shopping again today because we're having people over tomorrow and I wanted to make cookies.  So I bought flour and sugar but then my recipe said "if you use self rising flour omit baking soda and salt." I took that as "recipe will be OK with self rising flour" and we have a bag of that that I never know what to do with.  So I decided to use that before my new flour, and was it a good idea? NO they are so salty and terrible and I'm mad because I used the rest of my butter so I can't make a second batch.  ($7.34)
