Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

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.

Happy birthday, Vortex!

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.

Tuna casserole, baby, yeah!

You know what I have for lunch? Homemade black bean soup (with bacon!) and fresh raspberries and blackberries.

It's not lunchtime yet. I find this vexing.

It takes eggs a really long time to go bad, though. I eat one a week at best, and the dozen is fine.

Did I mention I have irrational "food going bad" issues....

Omelets! Broccoli cheese omelets for the win. Or hard-boiled eggs for a quick breakfast. Also, they often sell a half-dozen at the grocery store.

I have to slaughter recipes in order to make a true single serving. If I don't, I end up having to eat the same thing for a week.
