Out of Food

4 days left until payday and once again we are out of $$$ and out of food, so it seems. I checked the pantry closely and noticed we actually have a lot of food still left to choose from.

Items in the pantry: infinite # of cereal containers, oatmeal, Lasagna Hamburger Helper(no hamburger), Chicken and Stuffing Helper(no chicken), Chicken and Au Gratin Potato Helper(no chicken), 5 jars of freshly canned green beans, 2 small cans of peas and corn, pork n beans, Campbells cheddar cheese soup, Ramen noodles, spaghetti and elbow noodles, 3 different brands of rice, instant potatoes, Idaho potatoes, bread crumbs, 1/2 load of bread, Scooby Doo mac n cheese, canned tomatoes, 1 graham cracker pie crust, pancake mix, 2 cans of tuna and popcorn kernels.

Items in the fridge: 3 Coronas and 3 Bud Lights left over from cards, 2 packs of cheese, a head of lettuce, 1 cream cheese, 2 packs of brown and serve sausages, 6 eggs, water, hot dogs, pudding packs, jello packs and one cannister of cinnamon rolls.

Items in the freezer: Single serve salsbury steak, frozen vegetable packet, broccoli and cauliflower winter medly, green bean casserole, fish sticks, chicken fried steak patties, popsicles, and 2 flavors of Cool Whip.

Any ideas on meals for the next 3 nights. You've got plenty to pick from!

Well, obviously a breakfast night: you've got eggs and cheese and sausage and pancakes. Then you've got fish sticks with mac and cheese and green beans. The third night, I'm kinda grossed out by your chicken friend steak patties, but we're working with what you've got here, so we'll go with those. They need a side of potatoes or rice and some pork 'n beans! And for dessert you've got the graham cracker pie crust filled with chocolate pudding and topped with whipped cream. And maybe some Cocoa Puffs on top. :o)

Voila! That was strangely fun.

I'm working it. Not bad selections really. 1st night: Tuna sandwiches. There goes the eggs. I did score some free apple juice from the AM program.

May make the pudding pie!
