What To Eat When There Is Nothing To Eat?

[Deleted member 28403]

This is a desparate start of a thread. Really desparate.

I'm just sitting here, with a cucumber, and eating it with salt. Thats all I got.

I mean, I also have milk and canned beans, but I cannot figure out how to mix that together.

So, what do you eat when you are very limited? Any very limited list of ingredients meals?

Let's share out "out of nothing" recipes before we all start munching grass and tree leaves

Aww, so sorry, Saelben.

One of my favorite comfort foods is pasta with butter and parmesan cheese. You can also add garlic or garlic powder if you have it, but it's got carbs and protein. Throw in some broccoli and you've got a pretty nutritious meal.

I wouldn't mix beans and milk. I also don't know how to mix them. But you might be able to make a bean salad -- beans, flat parsley, onion, cucumber, lemon juice, tomato -- actually, any kind of vegetable could be mixed into that.

There's also the good old cheese sandwich. I've survived on those plenty of times. Add any vegetables you might have.

Oh, yeah, thank you for the bean salad idea :)

Will try that once I'm done with this cucumber. I really wish I had bread, that would make sandwiches easy.

Onions taste okayish when eaten like apples.

Damn, I wish I could send you a loaf of my bread machine bread.

 

[hodge]

Hmm, actually, I could if you pm'ed me your mailing address. I'd be happy to make you a loaf. Everyone loves my bread machine bread. I add oatmeal, flax seed and sunflower kernals.

There are sites that will search recipes for you based on the ingredients you have. The only one I can remember the name of is www.recipematcher.com but I'm sure there are others too. Handy when it's a tight week and you need to get creative with what you got ;)

 

[hodge]

It only takes me about two minutes to throw all the ingredients into the pan, then five hours in the bread machine. Please let me know how to send it to you. This is totally something I can do, and I'd love to.

 

[hodge]

Sael, I am completely serious about this. My machine makes really good bread and I want to send you some.

@hodge :)

I would really like it, but wouldn't it sorta dry up and maybe get moldy in the month it takes to get here?

@gizmo
Tried that, I ate salted cucumbers. The other option was eco washing liquid :P
