i'm waiting anxiously to see whether they put through my insurance payment that's to drop on Tuesday and give me a $100 overdraft i can take care of by Wednesday morning, or i get a late payment penalty. i'm gonna be so glad when my end of the year bonus shows up and i can catch up a bit.

Red beans and rice goes a long way.

And tastes bomb with hot sauce and celery

right now i'm all about the Maruchan Instant Lunch. two of those suckers keep me going all day and cost, like, 60 cents.

I had 2 of those yesterday too! I like the spicy chicken ones.

i need to get some protein in there too, though.

Sometimes I buy a can of chicken and dump that in there. I know canned chicken seems dubious at best.. but it's bomb

That's what beans are good for! Best cheap + nutritious combo attack. Easy to combine with the ramen too.

working on cheaper food will also stand me in good stead when i do the 3-week road trip next fall, which is going to cost a metric fuckton of money.

I think beans + pasta is a classic Great Depression-era food staple.

and isn't beans on toast the English national dish? or does that require some disgusting side-dish?

I may make some home made red beans and rice tonight I got some Tony Chacheres seasoning too. Boom

i woke up & went straight to the doughnut shop then to starbucks and I ate'm all while smoking cigarettes taken rips.

Yep that's pretty standard. I've heard it lovingly referred to as "skinheads on a raft"

My lady is a Brit and I'm pretty convinced they're hiding some junk food mastery up their sleeves. The other day she was telling me we should make a "fish finger butty," which sounds kinda horrifying to an American but is actually just a delicious sandwich made of fish sticks, cheap white bread and some kind of mayo / butter/ HP sauce kind of thing. Guh, I'm into it.

I would fully slay a fish finger butty
