Oh my god I have cooked all the food.

Well, I got my monthly grocery delivery, so I had all the food to cook. I made custard, spaghetti sauce, stuffing with walnuts and onions, pickled eggs, and my newest invention, White Trash Casserole.

My excuse for this invention is that I was trying to use up some old cupboard stuff I had and make something reasonably simple I could just nuke and eat at work.

Essentially, you take a pouch of instant mashed potatoes, cook it up, and divide it amongst a couple of tupperware tubs (I use the ones that appear to be slightly more than half a pint, and have screw-top lids). Then you heat up a can of baked beans -- I drain them and add my own sauce, but whatever -- and top the mashed potatoes with the baked beans until they're about 2/3 of the way full. Add some grated cheese if you want to be all fancy about it.

Then you cook up about half a pound of crumbled ground beef and top off the tupperware tubs with that. Toss one in a lunch sack with a couple of ketchup packets for extra class, and when you want to eat it, nuke, add ketchup, devour mindlessly. Protein, fiber, and starch in one handy package!

I know. I'm ashamed of me too. But it's good and cheap, and it used up stuff that was taking up space in my pantry.

If it's any consolation, I'm totally making granola bars this afternoon.
