Then we spoon it out over mashed potatoes. Only two of us, this meal last all week. Pretty cheap and satisfying, you could always spread it thinner and fill on the potatoes. |

Especially for growing kids. Vegans and vegetarians have to take a lot of supplements to keep them going. Even then they can get sick from no animal protein. And too many carbs for adults or inactive children is not a good thing. Put meat first in your budget. Everything else gets cut back. Get rid of tv. Anything extra. Without your health nothing matters. |

Put some frozen peas in a dish, pour the ground beef over then mash potatoes over the top with a some grated cheese. I make my own bread, I also make small pastry pasties with left overs. Lentil soup in tomatoe puree, with home made bread. Boiled eggs in a white sauce can be put with pasta or rice or salad. |

Pastas, pintos and cornbread, mac-n-cheese, potatoes. Lard, butter, milk, flour, makes a lot of homemade foods. Kamala Harris is not a Natural Born Citizen. She's illegally running. Used by the Founders... Book I of The Law of Nations, Chapter XIX, § 212 (Joseph Chitty numbering) – “Citizens and natives” reads: 'The citizens are the members of the civil society; bound to this society by certain duties, and subject to its authority, they equally participate in its advantages. The natives, or natural-born citizens, are those born in the country, of parents who are citizens. As the society cannot exist and perpetuate itself otherwise than by the children of the citizens, those children naturally follow the condition of their fathers, and succeed to all their rights.' 1758 Emerich de Vattel Oh' What the Hell, do I look like I want to die in some nursing home one day... America must have 4 new Constitutional Amendments... 1. Drug Tests and Mental Evaluations on all politicians and judges randomly five times per year. 2. Term Limits for Federal politicians and judges. 3. Mental and health standards for Supreme Court Justices and retirement age set. 4. A 'Star Chamber' of elected Natural Born Citizens (no attorney's) to ivestigate, try, and prosecute the politicians and government employee's as they see fit. Mandatory death penalty by public hanging is the merciful sentence for pedos and their associates. Democrats are a WMD, literally. Let Justice Be Done Though The Heavens Fall. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 78269817 United States 10/17/2020 12:22 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We were poor. 3 kids, single mom. She made spaghetti at least once a week. That was a large meal and we had leftovers for lunch next day. We always had a little meat, a veggie and a starch like potatoes. Mom cooked most things from scratch because it went further and cost less. We didn't eat caned foods very often. She kind of learned how much each of us are and distributed it accordingly and she always ate last. Even when I would try to give ger some of mine, she would say she was full but I wondered. Fir snacks she would make cookies or buy a bag of candy and distribute it evenly. Everything was measured. Got to be that I could shop and measure so she had some help. You have to sit down with a paper and pen and measure. |
