Cooking And Eating....“Dis-moi ce que tu manges, je te dirai ce que tu es”

 costing less than a buck per serving.....less than the cost of a slice of pizza, kids!     made from chopped, flash-frozen vegetables, a fried pinto bean patty and a slice of tomato.....with lots of tasty, vibrant seasonings........  I calculated the cost of this luncheon bowl, as shown, at about 60 cents!    The addition of salty country ham trimmings....just for flavor and a bit of additional protein......brings the cost up to a buck!   

  having avoided 'grocery shopping' for a couple of weeks, I am reduced to much less appealing fare than this seared tuna with mango/corn salsa, crowned with fragrant mixed greens....that I would have preferred... to the bowl of cereal, dried fruit and yogurt that I settled for, instead......

 

MOLTEN CHEESE, BLACK AND GREEN OLIVES AND BUTTER-SAUTEED MUSHROOMS.....                      and, on a hot day...when one doesn't want to fire up the oven or the stovetop......    A Cold Pan Bagnet.... .  WRAPPED WITHIN A SARAN WRAP ENVELOPE, THEN COOLED IN THE FRIDGE FOR A DAY....OR TWO..... (aka A SALAD NICOISE' STUFFFED & ROLLED WITHIN A HOLLOWED, OILED BAGUETTE.....)
