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...

Looks good:) What is the filling?

[dsi1]

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.

[dsi1]

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.

[dsi1]

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.

[dsi1]

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

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

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

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.

[Cindy Hamilton]

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.

[Ed Pawlowski]

I have time to make a nice meal every day. That does not mean I want to
though. Sometimes I don't feel very creative, don't have a particular
desire. I can walk through the supermarket and not see a single thing I
want to eat.

So, at least once a week it is pizza or sandwiches, or a rotisserie
chicken type of meal. Occasionally I'll get one of the meal kits from
Publix. They are usually easy to prepare and are pretty darned good
with real food. They are not "poor people" food though, as they run
from $12 to $20 for two servings.

I've not gone the route of frozen dinners, but some do look interesting.
Always have an assortment of frozen veggies on hand too.

[A Moose in Love]

You must take Speedy Gonzales showers to beat the nucker.

The stupidmarket delis here put out very good home style cooked meals
for little money. a healthy portion for under five bucks. They have
variety too, like 3-4 different entrees plus sides and it changes each
day. And they always have whole rotisserie chickens that feed two for
$5. it costs a lot less to eat at a stupidmarket deli than a fast
food joint.... and the delis serve far better quality than the fast
food joints. The stupidmarket delis can afford to give much better
value for your money simply because unlike a stand alone fast food
joint there's no extra rent and carrying charges, the entire market
subsidizes their deli.

We grow summer squash, far more yellow squash than we can eat, I'll
turn it into stews for the freezer. During the growing season most of
our produce comes from our garden, and plenty for the freezer... isn't
there a community garden close to where you live where people can each
have a fenced in plot. Even nearby here there are large appartment
complexes that provide a community garden where for a small fee ($20)
renters are assigned a nice sized fenced plot, and they provide a shed
with gardening tools and hoses for watering. Those community gardens
are a great way for like-minded people to meet.

You may not hunt but living close to the ocean is a great way to fill
your freezer with free seafood.

[U.S. Janet B.]

I don't understand why you would recommend supermarket deli food when
you won't eat food in other peoples homes and condemn restaurant and

Apparently, your contact with people is very superficial. You can't

Fresh fish I get often. Friends that like to fish often offer me
some. I get my fill.

Clams and oysters, crabs, use to have good places to catch my own
but now all the good spots are private property so can't get
there.

One year I crabbed all season long (basically June - August) in a
"honey-spot" that I found. At low tide I could hand catch a
bushel in about 30 minutes. Toss out a crab pot in the evening
and next morning have 4 dozen in there. All gone now - private
property (no access)

That one year with the crabbing, we (wife and kids) ate all the
crabmeat we wanted during those 3 months PLUS by September, I had
put away 28 pounds of crabmeat in the freezer. It was good.
Having so much, I got to try so many different crab recipes.
Eating them fresh steamed is the less desirable way.

Shrimp I buy often. Frozen is fine. Scallops are good but
overpriced and overrated, imo. I rarely bother with them.

Those aren't too bad. I'll buy one or two occasionally but only
when they go on sale for $2.00 - $2.50 each. So convenient for a
quick no-cook meal. Try the one with 2 chicken planks and the
bourbon bbq sauce sometime. I love that sauce. :)

Maybe because everything was drowned in sauce.

[dsi1]

My guess is that the Mexicans complained about those lousy enchilada and tamale TV dinners and ruined it for us non-Mexicans that thought they were ok because those things had some flavor and didn't feature as the main part some kind of weird, low quality, meat of some sort.
