I hate the phrase, "We don't have anything to eat!" Any roommate I've ever had (including my family) knows this about me. I take it as a challenge. No really, let me show you! There is a potential meal here somewhere - among all the scraps in the refrigerator, freezer, and cupboards.
This makes Tasha on a budget relatively dangerous. I will find a way to make a meal out of nothing when I need to. The angel-demon dialogue in my head (not sure which voice is which?) sounds like this...
"Well, you need Pam or butter to make pancakes."
"No I don't."
"Well, what are you gonna use? Olive oil?"
"Oh, I was thinking mayonnaise, but that's even better!"
"But you don't have Bisquick or baking powder. Your pancakes will be flat! Just run to the store real quick. Pick up a few necessities."
"Hmmm.... You know, crepes are flat."
"But crepes call for butter."
"Pshaw."
"Fine. Just try it out. Go ahead."
"I will. Not that I need your permission."
The "crepe-cake" was great! Four, sugar, vanilla, milk, egg. Topped with a fried egg and syrup - delish! So there. There was something to eat in the house. (Though that sounds strangely carnivorous.)

ReplyDeleteHahaha. I have been more willing to be creative with dinner now that I am on a budget too! I tend to just combine nonsensical foods together. Like easymac from Traders, a handful of trail mix, and some popcorn. Dinner.
