He already did a brown shirt in Jumanji. That would cause brand confusion.

That should be lid. Obviously I'm thinking way too much of how this would have been better with goat. You have to slow roast children.

Gun owners need to learn to garden. You can't eat copper jacketed lead lead more than once. The ones all about survival if everything falls apart typically don't even have a single packet of seeds. And the time to learn a skill is not two months before you starve to death.

Also, ever notice that Garden & Gun never shows guns on the cover? Assuming you know that the magazine exists. Not a lot of people do. Because so reads magazines anymore?

Disclosure, I gun, cook, and plant. I put two hundred seeds on the ground two weeks ago and am struggling to get them to sprout and live in this drought.

Tofu is the one that is processed. Tens of thousands of beans from different places all get processed together under heat. It's like the ground beef of vegan food in that way. One brick of tofu might contain a hundred different plants. It's not like a single impenetrable dry bean. It's an amalgamation where bacteria can set up shop inside, protected from air and eyes. But unlike ground beef it has the extra risk of being processed with heat. Heat that can feed that bacterial growth.

The last time I had tofu it was tofu I made from scratch. Taking care of sanitation was just like brewing. Everything had to be much cleaner than normal. I got some okara out of it which made some nice almond cookies. And I got soy milk out of it too. The whole thing was a fun run on three different things at once.

I'm expecting them to have issues coming too. Especially tofu.

I think the high costs of meat will stop them. Hard to eat raw meat when you can't afford it.

It's not just decreased regulation. It's decreased staffing for enforcement. It's the CDC no longer tracking when foodborne illness breaks out. It's a lot of things. The Jungle is public domain. Maybe it's time for one of those Pride & Prejudice and Zombies rewrites. The Jungle 2, Regulatory Capture.

Apple juice and pork, always a winner. You could have taken some of that pork broth mixture and braised the potatoes. I do feel bad when I toss out broccoli stems but I know that my chickens enjoy them even if I'm not eating them. Sometimes I'll save them for making a slaw.

Frozen peas can be added to all kinds of things to add some green for pennies.

Sorry this isn't exact amounts but I just winged it.

Cook it in two parts.

Saute some chopped onion in oil at a slightly higher heat until it's not just translucent but got a bit of browning on it. Add some minced garlic, cardamom, a two inch stick of cinnamon and half a teaspoon of cumin seeds. Saute those for maybe 30 seconds. Add rinsed basmati rice, water and a heaping teaspoon of turmeric. Stir the whole mixture. Pop the kid on and crank the heat to high and cook rice as normal. Once it's cooked the cardamom and cinnamon stick should be sitting on top. Remove them and throw them away.

Dice up a chicken thigh and give it a good coating of curry powder. Chop up a bell pepper (your choice of color but probably not green unless it compliments your particular curry powder). Grab maybe 2/3 cup frozen peas. In a medium high heat skillet or wok heat some oil with a high smoke point like peanut oil and . Toss in the chicken and bell pepper and cook until the pepper is soft and the meat is cooked and has some browning on it. Add on the peas and continue cooking until they are done.

Serve the two things next to each other or with the chicken mixture on top of the rice.

Mashed potatoes (thelemmy.club)

The picture: mashed potatoes and corporate meatloaf. Meatloaf was free.

Cost per person: $1.50

Of course the corporate meatloaf is just a side dish. The meal is mashed potatoes. My first "you are in charge of x" when growing up was to make the mashed potatoes. This served me well as a teen because I could make gigantic batches to insure that I wasn't going to starve eating whatever the other course was even if it was extremely low calorie 90s recipes. Between my brother and I we could easily eat three or four pounds of potatoes in a single sitting. There were never any leftovers.

The copper clip contacts on my main burner died again. I think this is the 5th time it has happened. I've replaced the burner. I've replaced the socket. I've replaced the wires. At one point I even had to replace the controller switch and the oven element.

But DIY appliance repair is cheaper than a new oven. Except this time I didn't have a new socket and wiring clips handy.

Then a friend said "do you need a stove?" Yes. I do. It wasn't my brand but I knew that anything not GE would have parts that should work well enough. I have a Kenmore. He had a Whirlpool. Close enough. $15 in gas later I had their stove in my driveway.

I had to do some modifications to the mounting bracket for the element but I swapped it out. I also took the opportunity to replace the wiring harness. But now I have extra wiring, four comparable switches, four replacement burners, and a temperature probe. Unfortunately the oven elements were not compatible.

With all repairs done I had to test it. I have hamburger buns. I have processed cheese food slices. I have mayonnaise. I have a workable test.

The test was successful.

Replacing any single part of a non glass top electric stove is cheaper than replacing the whole thing. You can watch YouTube videos. You probably have an appliance graveyard in your town that will sell you any part you want for dirt cheap. Or you can call an appliance repair company that will charge you $75-$115 to show up plus whatever the part costs, which might not be in stock because they refuse to keep any inventory these days.

If you have a glass top or gas stove your situation may be very different.

Cooking cheap isn't just about the food. It's the equipment.

Cost per person not including gas money: 67¢

I'm thinking about turning the scrap oven into a smoker.
