Another cheap meal

when funds are low, I can do very, very well at the 99 cent store in my area....find an ethnic
market for fresh stuff, (hispanic or asian in SoCal)...or a bag your own stuff warehouse place...not
a place that makes you pay to join. I've seen ramen products @ 12/1.00...& watch the sales real
close...Foster Farm whole chickens at .57 lb.

1 pound ground hamburger 1 can peas 2 packages ramen noodles

Brown the hamburger. Add the flavor packets from the ramen for seasoning. Don't drain the peas;
pour the peas and water in. Break up the ramen and stir it in, the water from the peas (and
hamburger grease if it's cheap meat) will soften the ramen. If it dries out too quickly, you may
want to add more water. Optional ingredients include mushrooms and cheese.

I'm guessing you're saying that because you had to eat a lot of it growing up?

My husband gets a little antsy if we/I make hamburger meals a few times in a month... and he WON'T
eat anything labeled "Casserole"! He grew up, like most people (!), where mom (raising 4 kids on a
single income) had to stretch out those limited dollars and made "economical" food. She probably had
1000 different ways to stretch a pound or two of hamburger and just as many recipes to using
macaroni noodles!

While that's not a big deal to me... my only complaint about her during his growing years is that
she "made" the kids drink "Russian Tea" anytime they were sick. I, on the other hand, only had it as
a "treat", therefore, LOVE it and can't drink it in his presence because the smell of it makes him
feel "sick". A while back I was enjoying a lovely cup of it and called her up and requested that
should she ever get the chance to go back in time to PLEASE NOT make the kids drink it when they're
sick... all 4 of the kids deplore Russian Tea!

Hmmm, speaking of which, I have the makings of all of the ingredients right now. I need to make up a
batch and remember to give a jar of it to Mom before the end of the month. She's going to cover for
me for Deaconess duty the first Sunday of next month. Woo-hoo. This/that will make for a terrific
thank you gift.

Wow - it's amazing how I can totally go from one subject to something totally opposite! LOL

My point was and is: There is always something that somebody will not "ever" eat. I think it is
silly never to eat peas, whereas many people might think it silly never to eat ground hamburger.

No, I never had a hamburger until I was probably 21 -- but we could drink at 16 in the local bars;
that way, no need for hamburgers.
