compilation pt 2

Life and blogging haven't been friends as of late. Now on to the food:

Here we have peanut soup over rice and a green salad. The peanut soup is just carrots, onions and cabbage cooked with broth until tender then blended into smithereens. Add some peanut butter to pureed soup and season to taste. Super easy, cheap and the kids always are excited for "Peanut Butter Soup!"


Pizza night. Let's see...choices appear to be cheese, sausage, and  pineapple.


Sushi! I finally remembered to buy actual sushi rice. We had those fake krab sticks and avocado and sesame seeds.  So good. So very good. Oh! And rooibos tea is a bad pair with sushi. Very bad! In other circumstances it is delicious. With sushi, not so much.

Have you noticed my frugal trend as of late? This meal takes the cake. Fry up some cubed potatoes with an onion, add some chopped hotdogs and top with cheese. Add a little ketchup and you've got yourself some good ol' Depression era vittles. (I actually got this recipe off the internet from a 90-year old woman who cooked it during the Depression.) Poor times or not, this is really delicious. (Especially if you use good hotdogs or even if you leave them out altogether.)
