Cheap and tasty lunch
You know those cheap packages of ramen noodles we supposedly lived on in college and even now eat occasionally because we're too lazy to do anything else for lunch that day?
1 package cheap ramen noodles 1/2 to 1 cup chopped up protein appropriate to the noodles flavor. Personally, I like "seafood" or "oriental" flavor with frozen mixed seafood, bags of which are cheap and seem to be marketed generally for paella. 1/2 to 1 cup kimchee. A splash of sesame oil to serve. Not rocket surgery, of course, but quick, cheap, easy, tasty, good for two meals. -- Silvar Beitel |

Nongshim Neoguri is a thick, chewy, satisfying, noodle that's light years ahead of that Japanese stuff. It will cost a budget-busting two bucks or so but the good things in life don't cost two bits. I get the noodles at the Korean mart in 4 packs for 6 bucks. I like to shop smart. |

I do that all the time with left over meat, typically pork. There were four slices of boneless pork loin in the fridge, so I jullianed them for a soup... four stalks of celery sliced, two sweet onions sliced, a piece of ginger root grated, a packet of Goya chicken bouillion, a few drops of yellow food coloring for show, fresh ground white peppercorns, four large garlic cloves minced, one large carrot diced, dill weed, an 8 oz can of 'shrooms, perhaps I forgot something, thickened with corn starch slurry. pork will be added later. No ramen this time. That'll be my dinner, Kath is having a salad. Today our new steel hose reel arrived from Amazon, very nice, very well made, and well worth the $169, much better than those stupid plastic ones that barely last one year... took me only an hour to put it together and get the hose on it and all ready to go. Our tomato seeds arrived today from Hudson Valley Seed Company. I attempted to mow the side field today but too wet, almost got bogged down, very thankful for 4 wheel drive... and we are supposed to get thunder showers tonight... I'll just need too wait for some hot sun. |

For us adults, we get the Korean noodles. Is that wrong? Ramen in America costs like 10¢ a packet, in bulk even less, Ukelele land is a giant rip off. I can only imagine what yoose ukeleles pay for Spam... I pay about $1.39 for a 12 ounce can in three packs at BJs. |

I even saw it once at 12/$1.00 Last time I bought it, was 8/$1.00 > Ukelele land is a giant rip off. For being such remote states, Hawaii and Alaska pay much more than the "lower 48" does. It's the cost of delivery. Want to see extremely high prices? Check out the northern parts of Alaska, especially what they pay for anything during the winter months. Many of those people buy food and supplies during the summer in large quantities. Enough to last them the entire year until the next summer. > I can only imagine what yoose > ukeleles pay for Spam...

I've seen it as low as $2.50 each. |

He just said "BJs" > Beavis: Yeah Yeah, mehhh eheh heh heh That was pretty cool The priest at the local Parrish sent one of the alter boys to town to get a carton of Kools 100s. On his way, he saw a lady that was dressed kind of funny. She said to him "BJs, 20 bucks. This frightened him and he hurried off to town. He bought the cigarettes and started walking back. He saw a strange and dirty man in a dark alley. The man said "BJs, 20 bucks." Of course, that frightened him and he ran all the way back to the church. Upon his arrival, he asked the priest "Father, what's a BJ?" "20 bucks, same as town, my son." |

BJs stores are all over around here, it's a chain of very large stores that sell many products from furniture, to TVs, to tires, and especially foods in bulk at wholesale prices... many restaurants buy there. A membersip is required but we more than make up the $25 cost in one shopping trip. https://www.bjs.com/content?template...BopicPageEspot |

I'll bet you don't have places like that in your town. We don't live in a town, we live in a rather small Village with only one small food market. But large stores are not far way, BJs is about a 20 mile drive and we shop there about once a month... very good savings for buying by the case. |

Sounds good. I sometimes add things to the cheap ramen noodles for a decent thing to eat. I also like the "oriental" flavor best. I've never looked for, or heard of, a bag of "frozen mixed seafood." That sounds interesting. |
