This stuff is great:

Lots of sodium, but tremendous bang for the buck. Tons of chicken and pasta. It was only like a buck at Big Lots. Could stretch it to ten bowls of soup if you wanted. Great poverty meal.

One question: If it is "chicken flavored" chicken noodle soup, then are you sure it was real chicken?


And if that tastes better than my homemade I will hang up my apron.
 
We added the chicken. It was real. :lol:

It's not like homemade, but for a packaged product it sure is good. Much better than anything canned that I've had.
 
Back to a more reasonably priced frozen pizza. This pie set me back $1.25.

I have added a little crushed red pepper, and frozen mozzarella. I keep a bag of mozzarella in the freezer for just this sort of thing.

My first impression, from the very first bite was that this thing is too smoky tasting. I got used to the smoke quickly though, and it really didn't bother me. The sauce was a little sweet, and like any Totino's Party Pizza the toppings cut small and kind of sparse. I didn't plan on buying this but they were out of the supreme I normally get. I would not buy this again.

Last night I had a steak with a baked potato, which I followed up with a delicious slice of chess pie.

Image is of the pie with the missing piece, as I didn't stop long enough to take a picture of the piece before I ate it.

Had some beef pasta, steamed carrots and cottage cheese tonight. Good food to eat on a rainy day.
 
3 kg of mussels I cooked in cider and cream then tipped onto a huge plate and we all tucked in. On the side was a green salad and crusty bread... oh, and cider.
 
Smoked salmon, Parmigiano-Reggiano shavings, olives and Dijon mustard toasted sandwiches. And a beer.

Too hungry to take a photo, sorry.

I don't normally 'like' posts in here without pictures, but DAYUM!!!
 
Made my own fried rice in a pan on the stove. Enough for 3 meals. Turned out so good. :drool:

  • Small bag of shrimp
  • Rice
  • Eggs
  • A small amount of red, orange, and yellow bell peppers
  • Peas
  • Olive oil
  • Small amount of soy sauce

'Add ground beef'. So basically, Larry the Cable Guy's Cheeseburger Dinner is pasta and cheese? :odd:

Elbow macaroni and cheese flavored powder. Just brown 1lb ground beef, add 1 cup water and 2 cups milk. Throw in the pasta and cheese powder and cook.

It's just his version of Hamburger Helper.
 
I saw somewhere, probably in this thread, not long ago someone had sloppy joes. I hadn't had it since I was a kid so I thought I would make some.

Do any of you guys eat this? I thought this Manwich was sickeningly sweet, and syrupy sticky. YUCK!

It was so bad I had to call my mother. I asked if she fed me sloppy joes as a kid. She said she had. I told her I just made some with Manwich sauce, and it was awful. She said "On, no, I never used that, my sister's boyfriend taught me how to make them from scratch." I remember them being messy but really good.

Well at least the fries were good.
 
But then again, so does 'sloppy joe'... :scared:
Does it at least look similar? :ill:

I'm in the process of eating these... nothing too spectacular, but this is the first food I've ever grown myself :D

The white chillies are from my first chilli plant... my workmate ordered some seeds on eBay from a chap in India, and these are the resulting chillies (although they are probably not quite ready for eating yet). The red one is from another plant I have grown in the last year, but I couldn't remember from which type of chilli I took the seeds... apparently it's a Scotch Bonnet, so it should really pack a punch!
 
These look great. Growing chillies is very satisfying - I once grew a cayenne plant that ended up being more chillies than plant. I found myself marvelling at how nature had managed to make something so hot just from soil and water. It's witchcraftery I tells ya! :)

A real congratulations from me. I've always aspired to eat my own, homegrown food but I've just never got to it. You've managed to achieve something that many in the modern world never will, and the fact they're chillies is even better. Top marks. 👍
 
Bought my grandma a German chocolate cake for her birthday yesterday.

Almost too sweet for me :ill:
 
Last night was my 10th anniversary. We have plans later this summer, so I was just going to fix my wife's favorite meal: Chicken and dumplings. I wanted it to be a surprise, so I thawed the chicken out on Monday, hid it in the fridge before she got home, boiled it on Tuesday, and then hid the shredded chicken and broth in various places around the fridge. She never noticed. She was completely surprised to come home and find me dropping dumplings into boiling broth.

Halfway through boiling the dumplings, and 15 minutes from adding the chicken, the power went out due to a thunderstorm. We gave it until 7:30 and then decided we needed to go out to eat in order to get our daughter to bed at a semi-decent time.

So, off to Johnny Carino's we went.

I had their combo platter, spaghetti with marinara, lasagna, and chicken parmesan. Combined with bread and a salad it was way too much food, so I only ate the spaghetti and saved the rest to use for my next couple of lunches.

@Chrunch Houston, Manwich is not sloppy joe, I don't care what they say.

Does it at least look similar? :ill:

Congrats. My garden is coming along nicely. My tomatoes have a lot of fruit that is going to be ready in a week or two. My banana pepper has a couple near ready to pick and my pepperoncini has a couple that still need a couple of weeks.

Banana pepper on the left and pepperoncini on the right. The pepperoncini was planted three weeks later, but I put a banana peel in with its roots. It grew almost twice as fast as the other pepper plant and is now the bigger of the two.

First banana peppers. Thyme, chives and rosemary planted around it.

First pepperoncini. Dill, chives, sage, and cilantro planted around it. In the background you can see basil that is planted around the tomato plant.
