my saturday meal was composed of items i missed last week - a grapefruit, some raspberries, some ice cream, some carrots, etc. none of this was food bank items and i bought it all on friday night.
i didn't trust the eggs the food bank gave me so i wanted to eat them next. they seemed ok. eggs and bread are both a normal part of my diet, but these other items they gave me are not:
- beef cubes
- home fries
- slim jims
this is what i did.
first, i made some gravy with the beef cubes, which are intended as a base for soup, by using twice as much. it came out pretty good, and there's still some left. then i fried the home fries in olive oil margarine until they were scallop-y. in a bowl, i grated some mozzarella cheese (that was on sale. i bought it for the onion soup.) and put some more grated mozzarella aside. you put the homefries on the cheese, the gravy on the fries and the rest of the cheese on last and just let it sit for a few minutes, to let the boiling gravy cool down and the cheese melt. i added pepper and frank's (i have no ketchup). it's actually pretty good.
then i chopped one slim jim up and threw it in the pan. i let that fry for a few minutes as i made some toast. the fried slim jim comes up on the plate, and three eggs get fried in the remaining olive oil. i chopped some cheddar cheese for the toast and an avocado on the side.
excellent breakfast. wish i had a glass of juice. alas.
if you're curious, fried slim jim tastes similar to hot dog.
