Aw, much love for Teddy, Fredpete, and to you and Hubs too.

Wouldn't eggs be one of the best protein bangs for your buck (besides maybe dried lentils or beans)?

A lot of people think eggs are bad for you.

mac isn't feeling well. he slept an hour later than normal. I decided at about 6 to just see how he did and not wake him up. He slept until I woke him up yesterday and then complained of not feeling well last night. Neither normal.

So this morning, I turned off the alarm when it was to teh time he would have normally been up. Then I just decided to let us both sleep in and see how it progress form there. He is pretty low energy, but I think we will go into my office or at least out of the house after lunch.

Not the issue here, though -- the article specifically says he didn't buy them because they were too expensive.

I think eggs are tricky because they're harder to stretch than things like hamburger, especially if you can't afford vegetables.

poor mac - it's so hard when your kids don't feel well. I hope he perks up!

I saw a thing on the food stamps this morning on CNN. The meals they were eating did not look appetizing at all. I noticed also, that they were all drinking water. I usually drink water myself, but seeing a glass of water and a palte of lettuce with some lentils was just sad.

Happy birthday, Vortex!

Scrambled eggs and hamburger! It was actually funny in a sad way when a friend of mine realized that all of her family "comfort food" meals were actually poor food meals -- various combinations of rice, eggs, hamburger, and frozen vegetables.

Lawmakers Find $21 A Week Doesn't Buy a Lot of Groceries.

While I think it's awesome that some of them are actually trying to do this, I can't help but think, "Um, dude, have you never had to grocery shop on a budget before?"

I mean, I've definitely gone through periods in my life where I couldn't regularly afford meat or fresh produce. And right now I'm having trouble getting my food budget down because healthy food costs so damn much.

This is why I should never post about food. Now I totally want hamburger and rice and frozen green beans with soy sauce on it.

The other thing with eggs, as a single person, is I find it hard to eat as many eggs as would be needed to go through a dozen-- so I just tend to do without-- and they are harder to stretch-- although I have seen a scrambled egg/spaghetti combo.
