Dinner Last Night

[Julian9ehp]

We have too little money in the bank for us to feel so good.
Celebrating. Pita bread, hummas, baba ganouj and yoghurt --
all from our local supermarket. Yes, I'm a philistine, but
it was late and the food was convenient.

It sounds tasty and refreshing!

Similarly, money-in-the-bank wise, I made pizza from scratch...home-
made crust, crushed tomatoes, olive oil, dried herbs - all
from the pantry and inexpensive. I bought the cheese
tonight, just a little expensive.

When the money runs out I turn to pasta - and I can do
everything from the pantry. A can (or jar) of light tomato
and herb pasta sauce, a small can of tuna, and a couple of
hundred grams of pasta (for two), some shaved parmesan
cheese (or grated if you have to).

I live in New Zealand and we have a very wide range of
locally canned tuna (which is also exported) in varying
sizes. My favourite is sweet Thai chilli tuna, but we also
have smoked and lemon pepper and satay. The small cans are
only 95g and the larger Heat and Eat Tuna Meals are 185g
(sorry can't do ounces any more!) The Heat and Eat meals
are produced in a variety of sauces including Italien,
Satay, Red Thai Chilli. Just cook the pasta, and heat the
Meal in the microwave and you have a dinner - and SO cheap.

The brand is Sealord or Safcol and if you can get this, it
is absolutely delicious.

Cheers
