Default Necessity is the mother of invention

Sick of toast and Vegemite/Peanut Butter and canned sardines.... Rooted
through the pantry and found a can of diced tomatoes, a can of mixed beans
and some dried onion. Threw in some FGBP as well and started to boil it.
Then remembered I hadn't used some marinara mix I had in the freezer.
Scallops, mussels, prawns, calamari, salmon and white fish. Boiled the other
stuff for a few minutes with some Italian herbs (dried) and then tossed in a
handful of the mixed seafood til just cooked. It was delicious! But pity I
had no garlic, fresh or minced Still, with a couple of rye crackers it
made a delicious and incredibly easy lunch

The kids had grilled cheese on toast, found half a packet of grated tasty
cheese in the freezer. Alex, the 15 yr old did ask where the ham and tomato
was in the grilled sandwich but after I dragged out the stale "I'll just
pluck some out of my ...." he remembered.

Only canned food I have left now is baby food apples I keep for when we have
pork. We will be taking this right to the line! lol.
