Sometimes when I'm running low on food at the house, I like to see how many more 'meals' I can eat before I go to the grocery store. I'll combine all sorts of random food to make a meal. For example, tonight I will make spaghetti and sauce. Nothing strange about that, huh. Tomorrow, I'll have toast with grape Jelly. Okay, no big deal. After that I will begin the struggle. I have low carb tortillas, jelly, wheat bread, taco shells, maybe some chicken meat, cheese slices, small potatoes, spices of all sorts, spaghetti and sauce, a small amount of chicken, granola bars, french fries (I think), and whatever else in the cupboard (if I don't know what in there, it's probably crap). Sounds like a lot, but if you look at it closely, nothing really matches (i'll be out of sauce for spaghetti after tonight). Now, I plan on making it to when I leave for Christmas break. I think I can do it. It seems like a no brainer-this time. I am not above eating a jelly sandwich from slightly molded bread. The worst was the chili burrito I made with old chili and stale tortilla. Ow. However, the chili cheese fries dinner the week before was incredible. I don't think I have any canned meals this time. They were always a safe bet when I started feeling ill. You know I might have a chicken breast from this summer. That would be awesome-marinated chicken and fries. Mmmm. This plan will work only as long as Cyndi does not come over. She won't be able to take it. For some reason she likes have one of each food group or at least a vegetable with her meal. Vegetables rot way early. You can cereal without milk as a snack. But why-why would I do this? Because I'm a cheap bastard and I'm saving my money to spend on beer.

I once saw my mom pull 3 year old chicken out of our freezer. I wanted to cook and eat it to see if it would kill me... she threw it away.
Knock Knock
Who's There
It's Lawton from college
Oh hi
Can I borrow a tortilla Brad, sure
Can I borrow some cheese J-Rod, sure
Can I borrow some beef Larson, sure
Where the hell did you get a burrito Lawton!
Ahh yes history repeats itself indeed.
and I am pretty sure you are demolishing the rest of us in terms of a paycheck! Order a pizza doofus.
Hey Brad, had any spleen-itos lately?
I've been staying away from them.
Oh, no. No, no, no. I have two mouths to feed on my paycheck, Cyndi and mine-scratch that three including Madison. You guys only have one. Add about 5% to your salaries. Now, half that-that's what I take home fools. I know what you're going to say in response. I'm not married, yet, but every dime Cyndi spends comes from her loans. So, the more I pay for now, the less I pay for later with interest.
You, sir, have me soundly beat in the income department. I think I'm supposed to clear about $18,000 before taxes.
And so please don't make fun of me for buying Kroger, Equate, and FMV (For Maximum Value) brands.
