Mrs. Pessimist and I cook plenty of sumptuous multi course meals for the 2 of us for under $10 (not counting the wine, of course).
Plus, we often end up with great leftovers that can be made into other things.
You’d be surprised how many really great meals 2 people can get out of a small roasting chicken...
Now I’m getting hungry!!
AT least 3 dinners, plus a gallon of soup! YUM! Birdmeat. At least half of what i feed my family (main course stuff)is roasting chickens. Not much beef and even less pork.
