pork schnitzel. the polish deli where i get the schnitzels from are of a good;quality. very tender; of course they've been run through a tenderizer. i still pound them to get them thinner. one of these days i'll try panko breadcrumbs. and corn on the cob, and fried cauliflower.
corn on the cob is now 25 cents per cob CDN. at a super market: freshco. also solid tuna 7 ounce can, unico brand is on for $1 per can.

You always catch me on a Thursday, which is my day to go out to lunch.

Yesterday was quesadilla. I run home for lunch most days, which doesn't
leave me a lot of time for cooking.

Flour tortilla
Sargento sliced reduced-fat pepperjack, melted onto the tortilla
Garden Fresh Gourmet "Jack's Special Medium Salsa"
Shredded romaine lettuce

Glass of ice water

I dont plan on having a lunch as it were, I had a late breakfast or
even a brunch. Just a couple of eggs scrambled with sauteed onions, I
nuked some broc until it was soft thinly slicked a little Roma and
covered it in a cheese sauce. It was wonderful.

I was going to make meat pies by filling up some dough and folding but then remembered that I had some really cute little pie tins, so...

They was good. The Crisco I had was kinda old but I used it anyway. Fresh shortening would have been better but it didn't stop anybody from eating the whole pies. I added some black pepper in the crust to enhance the look as it was entirely appropriate for a meat pie.

It was some kind of beef that was in the refrigerator with the usual - potatoes, onions, carrots. Next time, I'll make a filling with braised shortribs. I think that'll be kind of awesome.

For a pie crust use pizza dough; Hawiian Calzone - SPAM, Ricotta
w/crushed pineapple, and Mozz filling.
When I'm served that typical fruit pie crust as shown I don't eat it,
I'll eat the filling if good but not that hideous fat laden sawdust
crust.

Things are so easy in your world. In my world, I have to balance out time and expense of going out to get fresher shortening with getting those pies done. As we like to say down South, "git 'er done!"

So I got 'er done, alright.

Don't we all have to balance those things? Dunno about crisco though.
It reminds me of those old school margarines that you could taste all
through the sandwich.

I've already done that - a shortcrust is better. Of course, that's merely my awesome opinion.

I don't know what qualifies as poor folk food. Poor people that I see
in the supermarket often seem to buy expensive prefab stuff.

Yah, I agree. The man didn't even post the entire ingredient list,
nor any other info about the ingredients. SHAME!

But yoose didn't post any of these vital statistics ... just a snide
remark. Yoose can't help it.

What a strange moment to come out with that. Just because I said that
poor people often buy prefab food? That seems like an innocent
observation to me.

You like to check out poor people in supermarkets? I can't tell which shoppers are poor. My guess is that a person that divides people into the rich and poor classes won't ever know what the poor, simple, folks eat.

The only time I notice what people are buying are when a man or woman in front of me in line buys a loaf of bread and a big jug of vodka. Sometimes they buy orange juice.

You made that distinction when you brought up "poor folk", so there
you go.

I sometimes see what they eat, sometimes have dinner with them,
sometimes see them come home with groceries. And I don't see them as
particularly different from me.

It was some kind of beef that was in the refrigerator with the usual -
potatoes, onions, carrots. Next time, I'll make a filling with braised
shortribs. I think that'll be kind of awesome.

I was talking about poor folk foods, not people. I don't see poor folks on the street or on in the stores. How do you tell them from regular people? My guess is that you can't, you just believe that you can.

You can tell a person's income from the foods they purchase? That's some goofy world you live in.

Yes, they could be millionaires in disguise! Apparently, some
millionaires are so paranoid about their money that they pretend
they're street bums!

I knew those people and I knew their financial situation. Why do you
deliberately misunderstanding everything? That's very goofy of you.

No, some people talk to each other, you know. Clearly not in Hawaii,

You must have very superficial contact with people. Is that a Hawaiian
thing or just you?

Well-off people often buy prefab food, too. There are thousands
of high-end frozen entrees at the grocery store, most touting their
healthfulness.

Yes, you live in the one where you don't look in the freezer case at the
grocery sto

The point is that prefab food is expensive. If you buy real food, like
potatoes, beans, vegetables that are in season etc., you can cook
healthy meals that are cheap. But I often see people who are clearly
not well off, buy expensive prefab stuff.

Cooking takes time. Poor people often have less time available than
rich people. They have less money to convert into time, so the rational
decision is to prioritize food.

Cooking takes equipment. The really poor might not even have a full kitchen.
Slightly less poor people move frequently, so have fewer possessions.

i don't have much of a kitchen. i can get many things done though. i use a cheap serrated knife for cutting veggies; a cheap knife for cutting and trimming raw meat. my small sauce pan got lost in a move and instead of buying a new one, i now boil my eggs in a deepish frying pan. when i put the egg(s) in, the water only covers half of the egg; i top it with a lid and eggs come out fine. etc. i can make stir frys, stews, soups from scratch etc. and i don't consider myself poor, but poor is relative. i'm not as wealthy as trump is.

The grocery stores now have huge frozen dinner sections, as Cindy
mentioned. Many these days are actually pretty healthy and good
"fast food" for people that don't have much spare time to home
cook every meal. It's a decent compromise. At least healthier
then BK or McD, etc.

Frozen dinners got a bad rap just from the early days when only
Swanson or Banquet dinners were sold.

There are certain days, I come home completely exhausted. I'll
take a shower and eat an easy frozen dinner vs spending an hour
cooking from stupid scratch. On some of those days, I'll just
skip eating altogether rather than bother. I've learned to have
something easy on hand though.

I'm a very big fan of "just toss it in the microwave." It can be
cooking while you shower.

Even retired people don't want the trouble to cook from scratch
every single day. The frozen food sections are worth checking out
these days.

Alternatively, I often cook large in order to make my own frozen
dinners but only on days off when I plenty of time. I'm going to
make another gallon of pea soup either this morning or tomorrow
morning. I really like that stuff and good to have some in the
freezer. Frozen in pint containers which is often enough for 2
meals.

For many green vegetables, I've switched to frozen...next best
thing to fresh. Have you ever priced fresh veggies in a grocery
store? Ridiculous prices so often.

Have you tried yellow squash yet? I love it and will buy on sale
for 79 cents a pound but most times it sells for like $1.79 a
pound. I won't pay that. Same thing (and prices) just for iceberg
lettuce.

The truly poor do grow all their own vegetables, raise chickens
for eggs and meat, and also hunt to suppliment the meat issue.
This is only for rural people with some land. City poor don't
have that option.
