Cool, just in time for lunch.

Fortunately today’s lunch is vegan-ish (Ramen noodles with assorted veggies added)

I’m not vegan, just dirt poor.

In the same boat, bro. (Literally. I live on an old boat)

Liver's cheap...no fava beans, no chianti, just onions and potatoes. Cooking as I post.

Fortunately, I actually LIKE Ramen noodles; I can eat them for days. Favorite way, is 2 packages of cooked noodles drained, add only 1 package of chicken seasoning, add red peppers and a dash of parmesan cheese, parsley flakes if I've got them, and toss.

I save the surplus flavoring packets to spice up other things. If I making a pot of something like stew or spaghetti, instead of salting the food, I'll throw in the surplus packages of seasoning and give it a little flavor along with the sodium. Waste not, want not.

Every time my Mom calls, she wants to know if I'm eating Ramen noodles for supper. She has an absolute vendetta against Ramen noodles, and that's no joke... She wants me to report what's in my cupboard, and when I come to the word Ramen, she screeches in frustration.

A few weeks ago at the store they had a couple thin steaks on sale, marked down because they were getting old, and my mom just happened to call me as I was sitting there enjoying steak. She said "What are you eating?" I said "Steak..." and she was so happy. "...mixed with Ramen noodles..."

She said, "I disown you." LOL

The way my business goes, sometimes I'm more flush, sometimes I'm not... but even if I was rich, I'd still love Ramen noodles. If it's on sale, it's what's for dinner...even if Publishers Clearing House is standing right behind me with a giant check.
